Plans to extend the CTA Red Line to the Far South Side of #Chicago are finally on track. The Red Line extension project broke ground last month, after decades of planning and months of federal funding uncertainty. #news #politics #transportation https://news.wttw.com/2026/05/07/community-celebrates-cta-red-line-extension-decades-making

@ChrisMayLA6 The growth in renewables alongside the (temporary) spike in oil prices is a silver lining to these very dark clouds. This will pay long-term dividends in health and climate change. And if capitalists do well from it, it's good for my pension fund.

@ChrisMayLA6 My Dad applied in for the emergency document when his brother went into hospital.His brother has died, been cremated, the funeral held...No emergency document, still.I was going to get a passport for me and my kids, but the docs required means the applications would have to be one after the other and take about 3 months. That is assuming it's not considered an emergency and gets processed in the specified time.I suppose we should be relieved that Douglas Adams was wrong: the Vogons didn't destroy the Earth. They just took over the government.

@anarchistmemedistro I read this as a proposal of what folks should be doing.. oops.

From @paulkrugman.substack.com "And there is a strong correlation between #rightwing #politics and increased #mortality — stronger than many of the statistical associations that guide #publichealth policy.... Deep red states like Alabama and West Virginia have life expectancy comparable to, say, Kazakhstan."#uspoli #mahahttps://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/maga-will-kill-many-americans

@ChrisMayLA6 @sjwrenlewisThe growth economy cannot continue, the majority including so called leaders need to accept that. It has led to predatory capitalism and all it's documented negative aspects, I can't find positive evidence for it's continuing. So why do we continue to rationalise it.Again I return to state #sovereignty being a barrier to the real change we need. It is delusional to believe it can even be part of a global economy within this present system of adversariality and domination.
