So sorry to hear about the passing of local artist Tony Fitzpatrick, I’ve always loved his work, including his album covers for Steve Earle and Joe Pug

Project website for the CDOT plan to extend the Bloomingdale Trail eastward toward Lincoln Park. The public meeting that many in #bikeCHI attended was in August 2023

There is allegedly, hopefully (still) a plan to go under both those viaducts. Concepts of a plan lol

Or at least give us, I don’t know, a car-free, direct route/bridge linking the Bloomingdale Trail with Clybourn? Still hoping that will happen in my lifetime

Still crappy road conditions on Cortland and that horrible intersection with Ashland, but at least there are way fewer drivers

#bikeCHI The sidewalk of the Cortland St bridge is still open for walking/biking, but it’s closed to cars so Cortland is nice and peaceful

How to best document and report ICE sightings. Take video but don’t post to social media, pass it to ICIRR

Don’t register, just show up on 10/18, bring a sign, be loud and just BE THERE

We need 100,000 people in Chicago to show up at the next No Kings protest on 10/18. They can’t arrest 100,000 people, yes this means YOU

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 5d

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.
