Paying money to secure release is just a common condition of bail.
The Pretrial Fairness Act doesn't eliminate the right to be bailable, it just ensures money isn't required for release. In doing so, it eliminates an actual constitutional violation: detention based on poverty.

most mainstream coverage of the forest fight casts it as some kind of retrograde "tree-huggers vs the planning dept" when actually it's the frontline of this century's struggle—entire ecosystems vs corporatized, militarized, nationalized police vice.com/en/article/xgy9yk/a…

🙋🏽♀️They want to take out the alders who fight to reopen the mental health clinics, to house the homeless, protect tenants & the environment, expand social services, among other crazy progressive things! This right here tells you who will fund our opponents.

In theory, we knew repeated COVID reinfections were bad, but a study out today in @Nature of 5.8 million people shows that each reinfection significantly increases the risks of complications, like diabetes and kidney problems, hospitalizations and death.

Every time I have to have the #QuietRoom conversation with another family destroyed by #GunViolence, I will listen to these words from @taylorfor20th while I cry.

Climate change is flooding our homes and baking our city, and transportation is the #1 cause. But @chicagosmayor and @cta are letting our best solution fall apart. Every missed bus creates more drivers. Unreliable service is climate arson @commutersaction @JobsForJustice – at Chicago, IL

Public transportation is essential #ClimateAction, but it has to work. Chicago transit riders are fed up with recent reliability & safety issues. They're speaking out tomorrow for accountability and improvements.

You know how Chicago politicians always use Daniel Burnham's "Make no little plans" speech?
Funny how you never hear them mention the line he said right after:
“Where a town lies near water, keep all the shore for the people."
