People say BlueSky is an echo chamber but we have road cyclists, gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, single speeders, fixie riders, cargo bike riders, e-bike riders, hybrid riders, recumbent riders, bikepackers, randonneurs, and I'm sure we even have a few unicyclists among us

I had big plans for all of the MCBL stuff I'd get done over our winter hibernation.

None of that happened bc my neighbors needed me more.

I'm starting to carve out more time to get the MCBL back up & running. I'm SO excited to share more about what we've got in store this year.

Stay tuned!

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

Bachelors was in political science and I’m in tech now but have followed these developments closely.

I’d vote for climate change. Fascism will reward the oil companies and that alone will just drive in the proverbial nail in the coffin.

Larger impacts in CC. Fascism can be beaten back - quicker

Yeah. I mean, props to your group for even having that discussion.

10 years ago (before Trump was running at least) - it wasn’t really on my radar at all for American Fascism. It makes sense now but, just incomprehensible then.

I’ve been more than aware of climate change in different ways for 20

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

AOC on Randy Fine: β€œThis is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official β€” It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this β€” Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

β€˜He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

β€œHe can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, β€˜Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

In normal times, our kids like to count the # of dogs they see when we travel places. Now they count ICE OUT signs.

On our short trip to dinner on Lake St. tonight they counted over 70.

There has been no de-escalation. Case in point: MPS is continuing to offer online learning through April 6.

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a β€œriot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

β€œIt just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

I’m headed to D.C. for work today.

On the way to the airport I coordinate rides for 2 neighbors who need urgent medical care but can’t leave their home w/o a white neighbor to look out for them.

I’m free to travel while my BIPOC neighbors shelter in place.

This is not ok.

This is Minneapolis:

Thousands of families are at risk of eviction bc they haven't been able to work in weeks & don't have $ for rent.

I heard about a family where "the son, who had access to the online account to pay rent, was abducted recently" so they don't have access to their account now.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Google DeepMind Staffers Ask Leaders to Keep Them β€˜Physically Safe’ From ICE A federal agent allegedly tried to enter Google’s Cambridge campus in the fall, WIRED has learned. Now, staffers want policies that protect them from immigration officials.

Google DeepMind staffers are pressing leadership on their plans to safeguard the 3,000-person unit from ICE agents.

"As we have seen, government agency tactics can change and escalate quite rapidly. With offices in many metro areas across the US, are we prepared?"
