Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.

Driving down my alley, the ice is so thick and so deeply tracked that it's like driving one of those cars in the Tomorrow Speedway at Disney World: you have the illusion of steering but you're only going where the track is.
Chicago is a winter city & I think residents pride themselves in navigating the brutal winters. As much as the cold and winter is part of our identity, the city itself doesn’t manage winter & snow well. Right now, our sidewalks are intermittently icy w/ many alleys looking like ice rinks.

How much tax do we have to pay to get a police force that’s more likely to enforce than break the law? Oh, that’s not how any of this works? Ok, well maybe let’s divert some funds to other programs then.

It’s crazy how the “Don’t tread on me!” and “Live free or die” crowd is fine with masked gangs of anonymous armed federal agents hassling, detaining, and assaulting people on the streets “papers please”-style.
This feels like the most basic freedom of not living in a fascist police state.

For anyone still interested, Milwaukee (sb) was clear but there are frequent flat ice streaks where snow melted, drained across the bike lane, then re-froze. Logan Square sucks, just take the lane. Nothing seemed to have been salted but I didn't slip at all (once I got out of my alley). #bikechi
Anyone been outside yet? How are the roads? Salted?

It sounds like they ultimately arrested someone, which sucks, but if it takes 5+ hours and a team of 30 for each arrest, that’s a lot fewer court cases to fight, a lot fewer gofundmes to split our support, and a lot more intact families.
I keep saying we all need to be sand in their gears
10:00am ICE chased a guy to an apartment building. Crowd gathered. Rapid response arrived. By 3:30pm 30 agents there, & used chem munitions & gassed the n’hood*
5 hours
Eventually 30 agents

They’re roving surveillance machines. The reason all the Waymo’s in LA got set on fire during riots is because people knew that they’d turn any footage over to the feds. So, we don’t want them here for that reason alone. The feds are bad enough as it is, they don’t need yet another set of cameras.
