CDOT got out there and cleared the Dearborn bike lane and salted it well. I hate it when crews at the Federal Plaza and other spots dump snow into the cleared lane. 🤬 #bikechi @chi.streetsblog.org @atalliance.bsky.social

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Homan is no better than Bovino.
He’s just as craven and corrupt but he’s polished and wears a suit. Look at what he did during the orange demon’s first term and you’ll see what I mean.
Always remember that when he’s trying to pretend he’s civilized.

ICE activity has been ramping up in Chicagoland again this month.
The city's northwest side rapid respsonse team is reporting 2 people taken this morning from Chicago's heavily Latine Humboldt Park neighborhood, and advising that agents may still be in the area.

"If the [constitutionally protected political speech] doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed."
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

It's idiotic. 8 million have jobs (below says 7.5). 13-14% of both ag and construction labor is undocumented. 4.6% of the country's workforce. Who will replace them? There is an easy solution but GOP loves their labor without rights and living in fear. www.statista.com/chart/34074/...

As a state that values walking and biking, we cannot allow the governor to gut the rights of the people most at risk — especially since it won't lower insurance rates anyway.
