If you were chilly riding in to work this morning, it might be a good day to check out my guide for dressing for the weather on a bike. My site also has a printable template for keeping notes on what you wore and how it felt if you want to create your own! allweeksend.neocities.org/Guide
Saturday when it was 70° I was out biking in shorts & short sleeves and rode by several people in puffy jackets, at least one with a scarf. 70°!!
Me, in a winter coat that could double as a sleeping bag, walking past two people in shorts.

Just after saying he'll veto any budget that makes cuts to the cops, who have repeatedly overspent the budget and cost the city over 1.5 billion in abuse lawsuits since 2000 (and twice the library budget this year alone).
Johnson tries to reframe the debate over the budget after suffering a very public defeat at the hands of the Finance Committee:
"It's working people or its the ultra rich. That's it."

As a less-vulnerable person, do something, anything, to either make these guys miserable or make a vulnerable person feel safer. Post a sign, carry a whistle, patronize immigrant businesses. Make it clear to ice/cbp at every moment that they are despised.
i think the synthesis so far of the LA/DC/Chicago experiences is:
1) vulnerable people should hide and wait it out to whatever extent they can
2) other people should help them do that, financially and otherwise
3) other people should also get loud
4) not violent though

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

If one subscribes to the theory that much of what the admin does is intended to push boundaries (in this case, literally) to test resistance and the law, suddenly Charlotte makes a lot more sense.
Charlotte is not even within the 100-mile “border zone” that CBP claims to have jurisdiction over.

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

I’m really not sure what to do with this area as a cyclist. Like, I think I’m just going to have to take the lane? But I suspect traffic is going to get pretty backed up and they made the lanes pretty narrow so maybe it will be a lot of curb jumping? I’m so mad. www.chicago.gov/content/dam/...

In Chicago, money to Greater Chicago Food Depository goes far. But donations based an asks of mutual aid in your neighborhood cover local needs more quickly.
Donate money to a food bank or food pantry, then give your extra cans and boxes to a mutual aid org, love fridge, free pantry, etc. in your neighborhood.
Money in formal channels takes advantage of scale, and whatever you can spare in informal channels reaches more neighbors.
