1 hour. That's how long a CTA employee sat in the driver seat of their bus before being found unconscious. They later died. I looked into what happened that night and how a stalled bus, that missed over 50 scheduled stops, never raised any red flags. blockclubchicago.org/2024/04/17/dea…
Congressman Danny Davis started his political career by beating the machine--the 1st independent elected on Chicago’s West Side. But his challengers say it's time for another change. The race may have a lasting impact. Only two people have held this seat over the last 50 years.

I met Fred Mitchell in 2019, when he was 89 and living in a senior complex. He was captivating as he recalled his time as one of the first Black precinct captains on the West Side, fighting for his community from within the Democratic machine--and then against it. His story:

Trains and buses are often delayed and dirty, yet the CTA's oversight board rarely provides actual oversight. The governor & mayor pick the board members. But for years they've filled the transit board w their political allies instead of people who know something about transit.

"This is not a zero sum game, but a quest for freedom and justice for all, not freedom for some at the expense of Palestinians" — Dima Khalidi, of @pal_legal My latest on pro-Palestinian protests & American attitudes on movements through the years. chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/202…
It wasn't until a couple years ago that CTA & city officials decided that addressing homelessness on the trains would require outreach work on the trains. @rrhinton & @ndblumberg report how the program has helped dozens of people—& why many others are still sheltering on trains.

Police leaders blame slow 911 responses on a staffing shortage. But as @Pascal_Sabino reports: "The Police Department’s own records suggest the problem isn’t the number of officers — it’s what those officers are doing on their shifts." Thx to @injusticewatch for running this:

Chicago police officers assigned to "rapid response" duties spend much of their time making traffic stops -- not responding to 911 calls. You might want to make time for this story by @Pascal_Sabino: blockclubchicago.org/2024/02/15/911…
Dollar stores were fined thousands of times for selling expired infant formula, overcharging customers & making employees work in unsafe conditions. They paid the fines & kept going. Then the store owners pressured City Council to gut proposed new rules--& lots of alders caved.

Violet Affleck was rebuked for wearing a crewneck with the image of a watermelon, a symbol of Palestinian solidarity. That criticism only helped the Chicago-based @WearThePeaceCo sell more shirts & raise more money for Gaza with @PiousProjects. My latest: chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/202…
Two decades after razing thousands of units, the Chicago Housing Authority still hasn't redeveloped all of the sites it cleared. 200k people are now on its waiting lists--and the CHA is sitting on enough vacant property to take up 25 city blocks, @impactforequity found.

Mick and I spent MONTHS looking into the migrant shelter deals in the West Loop after learning about how well connected the property owners are… City Paying Well More Than Typical Rent For Migrant Shelter Buildings — And Keeping Details Secret blockclubchicago.org/2023/12/13/cit…
Chicago officials have worked hard to find shelter for migrants. At the same time: * Their scramble gave prominent landlords & contractors the chance to profit * The city is paying well above market rent * They won't reveal exactly where the $ is going blockclubchicago.org/2023/12/13/cit…
How are migrant shelters chosen? The city won't say. How did the bidding work? The city won't say. How much has been billed? The city says they don't have the records. "This is fundamentally a transparency story." -@mickeyd1971 on @BlockClubCHI pod: tinyurl.com/bdjkekh8
It's true--tomorrow's First Tuesdays is the final First Tuesdays, and we have lots of politics to discuss.

To be clear, anyone who tries to paint me as bitter about the fate of #vocalo seriously misunderstands my motivations here. Everything I did around Vocalo, and by proxy WBEZ, was for the community. The community had lovingly expressed our impact. I'm just reflecting that love.

Last July, Antia Lyons parked her bus in a CTA terminal, ready to start another route. She went into cardiac arrest. Despite not making stops, CTA didn’t check on her for nearly an hour - and won’t explain why. @_ManuelRamos_ on the @BlockClubCHI pod: tinyurl.com/yjyynkef
Last summer, Antia Lyons was driving her bus route 112 when she entered the terminal ahead of schedule. At 9:13 p.m., Lyons goes unconscious. Paramedics wouldn't enter her bus to help until 55 minutes later at 10:08 p.m. This is her story.
1 hour. That's how long a CTA employee sat in the driver seat of their bus before being found unconscious. They later died. I looked into what happened that night and how a stalled bus, that missed over 50 scheduled stops, never raised any red flags. blockclubchicago.org/2024/04/17/dea…

FINAL: UConn 75, Northwestern 58 Not much else to say other than that Northwestern ran into the best team in the country. A rough way to go out, but another program-changing year for NU basketball. Incredible that this team got here given the injuries.
