In addition to gassing people on public streets today, ICE handcuffed and detained Ald. Jesse Fuentes (26th ward) today at an ER.
As we’ve seen repeatedly, ICE agents exhibit little self-discipline or understanding of the law.

Right across the street from an elementary school.
Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors.
This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.

Calling on all Chicago bikers! A beloved member of the Chicago bike community (and a Femmes + Thems core organizer) took a spill at Critical Mass on Friday and was badly injured. Because both of their arms are broken, they are not able to do most self care tasks, let alone work.

NEW: The authoritarian crackdown begins in LA.
This is dystopian. As the dictator’s parade is broadcast in the top right corner, MSNBC’s reporter and peaceful protestors are charged by police as tear gas is fired.
Watch till the end.

Just did an informal interview with a Northwestern college student in journalism curious to interview cyclists in Chicago about safe bike infrastructure for a project she’s working on. I told her about my first @atalliance.bsky.social Bike To Work Challenge & how it changed my life forever.

Chicago biking community,
Is anyone down to help marshal the Pedal for the Planet event on Sunday? 🌎
We would love the help in making sure our ride together is safe for our riders

We could use a few more marshals for all busses. Shoot us a DM if you're interested. We're hosting marshal training tomorrow (see next post) if you'd like to learn and then put it to great use
Wrap up Earth Week by joining us next Sunday, April 27th, to learn about safe streets, our parks, and Green Schools. Together, we will build a better Chicago for all 💚🚲🌎
Take the Bike Bus from Lakeview, Hyde Park, and Wicker Park to Douglass Park.
