6 Via RideSmarts on my walk home 7pm on a Tuesday. One of the most walkable neighborhoods in Chicago. 2 students called one from yoga. My least favorite security theater = creating gas-powered car dependence. @UChicago should invest in real transportation & real safety vs 🚗🚗🚗

A 1,070-MW coal plant, once slated for retirement by 2023 and now the #9 largest GHG polluter in Indiana, appears to be on the verge of executing a long-term agreement to sell a majority of its energy and capacity to an unnamed data center developer.

A Michigan utility buys power from 1950s-era coal plants whose largest owner happens to be its parent company. It's a bad deal for the power company's customers, consumer watchdogs and enviro groups say. mlive.com/environment/20…

Private jet trips. Massages. Professional sport games. Not the perks of being a millionaire, but instead an executive or staff member at some of the top utilities across the country. And customers are paying the price. New report from EPI: energyandpolicy.org/report-utility…

This actually happens a lot in Chicago because the city departments don’t communicate with each other and aldermanic menu money is spent independently of citywide infrastructure planning.

Horrifying. The first photo is verified fatalities in residential buildings by age and gender since 10/7/23 and the second is prior conflicts. When ages 0-4, 5-9, and 10-14 are on the bottom of a graph of fatalities, it shouldn’t actually be a pyramid! ohchr.org/sites/default/…

If you want to call me a lefty for thinking my community deserves to drink clean water, go ahead. If you want to say I'm a progressive for saying polluters should pay to clean up their mess, feel free. I don't give a sh*t about labels. I care about delivering for my…

I called on the CEO of our billion-dollar utility monopoly to resign, and we forced them to pay back customers over $60M. I went after the Wall Street speculators driving up the price of housing. I built a coalition to push my bill to stop Big Pharma from ripping off families.

I put affordability front and center every day. Most importantly, I told folks exactly who it was that was ripping them off, and I grounded it locally. It's the billionaires and big corporations making record-breaking profits while the rest of us struggle.
