just another self-infatuated rich jackass who can't conceive of the negative downstream effects of his life's work

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

curious what happens if you try to index this by level of service as well -- some bus lines now run more frequently on weekends than weekends iirc? not sure if the weekend levels now are higher than pre-2020, comparable, or still lower

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

“The potential for manipulation is huge” 💀

I wanna see crime rates of police vs. immigrants. I know this isn’t possible to get accurate statistics on because police so often look the other way for their own, but still.

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

I'll tell you one thing: I don't like that red dot in the northwestern corner of Indiana one bit

I think that ring road basically goes through my house.

We have been careening in this direction since at least 2001, and everyone who tried to ring the alarm bells was shouted down with "If you have nothing to hide, why are you afraid?"

Bummer. I never made juice, but the frozen orange concentrate was great to keep in the freezer for sauces and dressings

It’s interesting to see the posts by businesses in Chicago about the general strike. Many are participating but many Latine immigrant nhoods staying open due to what they say is financial instability. Months of midway blitz have probably made it difficult for many business owners to take a day off.

What kills kids in America: 1. cars 2. guns Guess what the GOP has worked relentlessly to support for half a century now?

Milwaukee Ave bike lanes between Western and the 606 variable conditions, looked like they had been salted.

Weather forecast for Saturday is ~20°. If you’re coming out to ride and looking for a guide on how to dress, consider checking out the guide in my pinned post. I’d also recommend considering hand warmers, packing extra dry layers, and making sure you have a bus pass/way to bail if needed.

FYI #bikechi. I haven’t ridden but did walk today and this is Milwaukee north of Belmont.

My rep! 🙌

Making this clear for the Nth time: Coal is dying. It is never, never, NEVER going to make a comeback and there’s absolutely nothing Trump or anyone else can do to change that. What Trump CAN do, is to damage the energy industry, drive up electricity bills, and screw the environment. …

I’d strongly prefer a Democratic Party that swung for the fences and had few victories to one that talks small and still never gets anything done.

Real scumbag here. If you’re in the neighborhood, hit up Loaf Lounge, Avondale Bowl, Void, or any of a dozen other spots I would happily recommend.

"Nothing matters until Miller is gone" is the wrong way to frame things. The right way to frame a people-led victory like this is "Everything matters until Miller is gone."

"Symbolic compliance." 🧵 Especially worrying is that ICE now has permission to use Fort Snelling for personnel and equipment. They may be embedding vs. yielding to public pressure.

I try not to indulge in "My enemy is clearly deficient in this obvious and self-flattering way" but its very funny that this is how they're processing the realization that their movement is made up of people who don't actually give a shit about each other.

This is the train I’m on. These people should be in prison at least until every other American is free.

South Kedzie Ave bike lane dispatch!

So what I’m hearing is that posting will have a direct effect on the drafting of future legislation

They literally murdered people named Good and Pretti. I can’t get over this.

For reference:

In case you don’t know where to get a gas mask, protectly.co or your local hardware store (not Home Depot if you can help it, they’re big supporters of this admin).

For this, the state decided to execute him.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

ily mn. I DO believe that we will win.

if any chicagoans just got a spam text about the hemp ban please know the org is run by a florida maga vivek guy

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

It’s cold. Like, really cold. Still biked. #MSPCycleCast

Thought about giving a lane status update (MKE is fine) but realized nobody is going to be out tomorrow. (Please don’t ride a bike tomorrow).

I can see why they don’t want folks dropping their kids off at school at 8am tomorrow.

6:43am commute via Milwaukee Avenue: saw 8 other people biking on this pretty mild morning! First cyclist spotted on Lawrence at Major. Bike lane salted and mostly clear from Irving to Kinzie. Stupid sign is still blocking lane at 3628 N. Milwaukee.

The streets are full of morning deliveries by bike because Paris provides safe & convenient cargo bike cycling infrastructure; parking, bike lanes, & delivery zones for affordable, quick, quiet, & convenient service. #paris #bike #cargobike #15minutecity #urbanism #sustainabilty #delivery

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

with subzero temperatures on the horizon, now‘s a good time to revisit @katieprout.bsky.social’s 2022 piece about the lack of 24-hour warming centers in chicago. four years later and nothing has changed.

This from @andreapitzer.bsky.social is key. “nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training.”

EverythingWx is a great app that pulls info directly from NWS (no ads!). apps.apple.com/us/app/every...

Reminds me of this classic
