Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Saturday, 10/11/25. I visited Paris several times in the late 90’s and found it to be one of the least bike-friendly cities in the world. Went back in 2021 and bikes had taken over. I rode EVERYWHERE. If Paris could transform, any city can.

“Fast forward to today, and the transformation is astonishing. Paris has quietly—and quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world” with pop-up bike-lanes during the pandemic evolving “into a permanent cycling network spanning hundreds of kilometres.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social

New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution

Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

That has always been a silly conversation. What os more interesting is how this format gives non-division winners, and even the last seeds, a fighting chance.

Still haven’t seen any reporting on this. It’s horrific and deserves widespread broadcast news attention.

Every Sunday morning network talking heads show needs to lead with this tomorrow - demanding answers from whatever administration hench-people they have lined up. This is horrific. Hollywood couldn’t produce something more terrifying -

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Where is the reporting on this? Lots of posts, but, nothing in mainstream media. Every outlet should be running this to ground.

This one really makes my blood boil. How dare he manhandle that child!

How much more of this are we going to take? Whether or not they had a legal right to arrest her, they completely brutalized this child. This kid, with an American accent, is the dangerous criminal ICE is protecting us from?

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Once again, this administration demonstrates that it is devoid of nuance and completely incoherent. The winner is opposed to the same regime we are, apparently, at “war” with. Rather than leveraging this as a victory for the cause, they default, as usual, to grievance and self-pity. Sad.

The WH (by way of Steven Cheung) posted on X that the Nobel Committee “puts politics over peace,” praising Trump and slamming the decision. This is the Trump team commenting.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
