“people could die this weekend because of the threat of ICE in their area!”
is this the kind of thing that would get interdepartmental demands that they downplay the severity of a storm… just like the attempt to downplay the severity of their kidnapping racket?
you can’t make this stuff up

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

ski goggles FTW this AM, consistently surprised by the lack of proper clothes you see during weather events
no such thing as bad weather, just poor clothing choices
so many folks underdressed this morning, has car dependency tricked folks into believing that weather has been tamed?

waiting for Metra home chilling in a car watching NB train pull in, while stopped the Bears got the tying TD, windows of excitement erupted across the train. small celebrations framed in green

being asked if i have children by those in opposition to safe streets who didn’t know about the project public meetings over two years shows a lack of curiosity into the actual project, or willful ignorance.

nice conversation with an Alder office where they said nothing is going to be changed, project moving forward, despite the SM anger and push back they are receiving a lot more support.
keep up the public support, call the Alders office, they like to hear the support

“i engage the city on my time, not when they tell me they are holding public meetings.
this is why i am demanding hyper specific numbers from the city before i can approve the project i am most definitely not trying to stop”

every time an Alder caves and gives into the angry FB mobs that didn’t show up to public meetings and waters down Complete Streets projects rather than taking time to explain to constituents what is being done they make the city less safe. it also emboldens pro car folks making these projects harder

i want my kid to
walk to a park
walk to school
walk to friends
ride a bike
take transit
childhood independence is a hugely underrated thing that car dependency & unsafe roads prevents, it’s sad how hard some go to the paint to protect this really bad trade off
for alleged freedom for parents

demanding that drivers, truckers convenience/freedom to park has to be considered before we can talk about plans for more housing, transit efficiency, pedestrian/cyclist safety is such a fool’s errand.

why is it now after bike infra installed, regardless if pedestrian/transit infra is built too, that it’s acceptable for drivers/avid cyclists to immediately say now more people are going to be killed, illegal behaviour by drivers has to be forgiven because of the bike lanes

the level of discourse by those against Complete Streets Initiatives has devolved into a great mirror for Alders that are on the fence or against it
look at the threats against 🚲 riders & 🧒👦 where drivers say because CDOT is attempting to calm traffic drivers will be enraged & maybe kill them

#MAHA is so dumb, not only the anti science silliness, but the Admin is actively cutting off easy ways to be healthy, both physical and mental, by threatening to not fund transit, ped, and cycling infrastructure

when do we get to the point of, CDOT has determined this to be an unsafe road they are making changes to save lives, and that is a generally accepted policy position of the public.
present the plan, modify with feedback but the general public understands that these are good projects

is the BP fight against Complete Streets more of a visceral reaction to ICE sweeps of the area, where they have no control, so this is a place to focus anger and attack?
i know i have picked fights with my dad when a bill is delayed or shelved. i want to lash out & fight no matter how misapplied

“just admit it you just want to ban all cars” is far more of an indictment of your position than mine
like the gun debate
or DEI debate
claiming your oppo wants to take all rather than understand the debate says you fear a complete takeover against you because you know it’s what you enjoy
