Hi @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social I'm pretty sure this was a fleet vehicle. Driver was choosing to idle in the bike lane and refused to move when asked even though there was legal parking exactly 0.1 seconds to his right. Is there a good way to report? #bikedc

The fact that riding a bicycle on a day like today ALSO results in arriving at your destination is ridiculous #bikedc

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

The driver, who self-describes as an “avid cyclist”, was only stopped for a moment and doesn’t see what the big deal is

Column: It feels like we’ve gone from Roosevelts and Eisenhowers to Bushes, Obamas and Bidens.

Since 10-character Eisenhower tied Washington’s record, we haven’t had a single president with more than seven characters in their surname.

Column | Presidents’ names are getting shorter. Why?

We’ve gone from Roosevelts and Eisenhowers to Bushes, Obamas and Trumps. What gives?

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.
