So when CPD sees ICE terrorizing people in an ICE-free zone, will CPD arrest the ICE goon? How will this be enforced?

If alders are afraid of residents suing the city if they slip on city-plowed sidewalks, I will sue them for slipping on city-plowed streets.

Ald. Jessie Fuentes’ office just released a statement she was handcuffed and threatened arrest amid ongoing ICE activity in Humboldt Park. Tear gas was also used on passersby at a Home Depot an at Rico Fresh, her office says. I’m on my way to an emergency press conference now.

ICE activity in Logan Square moments ago, tell your friends and neighbors. #logansquare #Chicago #fuckICE www.reddit.com/r/LoganSquar...

1. Nice to see MBJ on a bike @jake-sheridan.bsky.social 2. Nobody told him to raise his seat or adjust his helmet? 3. "six zero six"? 4. 30 degrees is perfect biking weather and I'm not a special person. You put on a winter coat and you don't sweat. www.reddit.com/r/chicago/co...

I’m old enough to remember town halls where drivers lose their minds over paint-only designs and the alder responds with kid gloves.

It’s not kosher to surround a tree with wood chips.

The VP of Marketing at my company doesn’t have an Instagram account because he says he’s too old.

In addition to the half dozen drivers that also violated this law before I could intervene, not a single other cyclist on Milwaukee yielded to the pedestrian. Please be better than drivers guys, you’re making the rest of us look bad.

Some liberals are publicly mourning a fascist because they’re afraid of political violence being pointed at themselves in retaliation (even though there’s no suspect). It’s hard for me to imagine that this is anything more than self-preserving virtue signaling.

Why can I hear it when the driver next to me gets a phone call on their car’s Bluetooth?

Before you blast JB, ask your Jewish friend what exactly "may their memory be a blessing" means and how it's used.

Bicyclists talk to me about how there’s no kid-safe E-W bike routes from the NW side to the lake, and drivers talk to me about how hard it is to pull out of the Aldi parking lot on Milwaukee.

So Texas sent us bus loads of migrants, and now Texas is sending their National Guard to arrest migrants?

So, we're biking on the sidewalk on North Ave? Or adding guerrilla bike lanes to Webster?

It’s great that he’s riding the L and talking to folks, and, Pritzker needs to call a special session to fund and fix transit.

Saw on my commute today on Dearborn by the Westin: White Van: move! Black Van: no you move! .. .. Bicyclist: ope just gonna scooch right past ya.

I did a mini side quest today: I spotted some tourists, a family of 5 from Florida, rising divvys on Middle Randolph. I asked them if they needed directions, and they asked me where the bean was. I biked them to the bean and told them that Chicago is the greatest city in the country :)

I mentioned the recent parking minimum changes near CTA lines, and that perhaps it’s in the developer’s financial interest to have fewer spaces. They said themselves that building parking is expensive.

My favorite dumb comment from tonight’s zoning meeting about new building proposed on Milwaukee/Wabansia was someone who was concerned that the building would be in the way of tourists on the 606 taking pics of Sears Tower. Otherwise, it went pretty well.

The first #MeetMeOnMilwaukee is in the books! Huge thanks to everyone who made this day possible: the 1st Ward team, 14th District, Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce, & CDOT. If you joined us on Sunday, please fill out our survey to make future events even better! forms.gle/X5wDqxZu4Fbh...

When discussing pedestrianization, we need to change the rhetoric from “Milwaukee is closed to cars” to “Milwaukee is opened to pedestrians”. Lead with inclusion.

Milwaukee Ave is ghost town without drivers and parking.

Sofar shows wanna make it seem like it's a secret experimental noise set at an underground venue, but it's a singer-songwriter playing acoustic guitar at a trendy rooftop bar in West Loop.

Turns out that executives at my company think that the best time to do a re-org is a few weeks before multiple teams are scheduled to deploy big features.

I’ll be there!!

Do you think Active Transit Alliance is gonna have any transit-fiscal-cliff messaging campaigns targeted at Bike the Drive participants?

Has anyone commented that he capitalizes nouns like he's speaking German?

i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo

Today we stood with @accessliving.bsky.social to speak out against the sweeping cuts that have been proposed for paratransit. Slashing the RAP/TAP programs would trap many disabled riders at home. We cannot balance our transit deficits on the backs of disabled transit riders!

Can someone tell me why Boston hasn’t yet pedestrianized large swaths of the North End?

You can bury a highway, but you’ll still have the traffic.

I haven’t seen it illustrated like this before. Very effective messaging. Of course it actually depends a lot on how fast the vehicle’s being driven, how big the vehicle is and how it’s designed, and how small the victims (too often kids) are. Via @yegbike.bsky.social #SpeedKills #CarBloat

Make sure to visit savetransit.org to advocate for transit reform and funding.

Dumb idea: everyone get jobs at ice, show up to work, and do the most mediocre job.

Our iconic Lake Shore Drive, 3:30pm Wednesday. A sea of drivers struggling to clear a path for first responders. I can’t wait to demolish this highway.

We don’t want the intended use of public ways to be blocked just to create space exclusively to be used by drivers. We already have highways for those who wish to drive. The public way is for commerce, hanging out, street musicians, and kids running around.

Hell is probably just being in a car in a long line trying to get out of a downtown 6-story parking garage during a major event, only to be spat out into grid lock.

Chicago residents are asked to delay showers and reduce water use after an Overflow Action Alert was issued on Wednesday, but we can't be asked to drive less when we have the worst air quality in the world.

Today was going fine until I realized that the Skokie Lagoons aren’t in Skokie. What’s weirder is that the Skokie Lagoons are closer to Chicago than the Chicago Botanic Garden.

Let’s fucking gooooooooo

I did 2 home improvement projects today: replaced malfunctioning kitchen faucet and installed closet shelving system. Please clap.

Other than the info in the article, idk too much about this guy. At least he’s not a pastor. @betterstreetschicago.org chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/20...

Looking at you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov, @harmonil.bsky.social, and @speakerwelchil.bsky.social! It’s time for the three of you to call a special session NOW and save public transit! And if you fail, the people of Illinois will NOT forget — nor will we forgive.

The irresistible urge my coworkers feel to put the word “strategic” in front of their job titles.

When a recruiter tells me they're looking for a seasoned professional, I ask what their preferred seasoning is. I'll come into the office covered in tajin if that's what it takes.

I’m super late to the party but I still show up. Shout out to Myopic Books.
