At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.

“Winters Salzetta O’Brien & Richardson, LLC, a law firm in Chicago, Illinois, won a $900,000 settlement against Budd Company… after a 17-year-old was killed attempting to mount a 16-inch tire onto a 16.5-inch wheel.”

My dad was a juror in this case - I remember that it really shook him.

Need a bike? This is about 20% of Chicago’s Working Bikes’ basement collection. Mostly Schwinn and Raleigh ten speeds, stacked two high. Destined to be donated, shipped overseas.

A friend who owns a bike shop (Bedlam Bikes, Benton Harbor, MI) had these fun challenge coins made.

I LOVE this guy!!!!

I hope he's wearing a bullet proof vest - cause those are some serious zingers and ICE has thin skin.

It’s February 4th in England already … so it was 40 years ago today that the Replacements from Minneapolis, Minnesota played “Kiss Me on the Bus” on “The Old Grey Whistle Test”

Absolutely floored at the turnout for this afternoon’s Alex Pretti Unity Ride. Guessing 3000 or so riders in Minneapolis, in 15° temps.

My brother bought a couple of Camp Snap 8 video cameras for the film/video department of the art school that he works for. Pretty neat, and seemingly worth the $200 price.

Remember: Alex Pretti was a cyclist.

This is simply the appropriate reaction to a gigantic SUV bring driven recklessly.

The oh-so-awesome @perennialcycle.bsky.social ‘s workshop has been turned into a print shop this afternoon, screening Abolish Ice art onto the apparel, bags, etc that folks are bringing in. Lots of food and cash donations are rolling in as well.

There is a video out this morning showing ICE agents wrestling a man onto the ground in Minneapolis and then shooting him. I counted twelve shots.

It looks like two ICE agents fired at the man. He was wrestled to the ground and beaten by approximately 6 ICE agents before being shot.
