The only sane response is to throw snowballs back WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE
I like waving at other cyclists (3 on a Tern!). And crossing guards. And people sitting on their porches.

City transportation official opts for white line and signage instead of gate to keep their baby off the stairs.

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.
We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:
So NOW can we have that conversation that the United States having the world's largest carceral state, the most (and most heavily armed) cops, the most prisoners, and the most cages, has never been about safety and always been about institutional racism and suppressing dissent?
Flash flooding, very cold and unsettled weather expected across Palestine, according to the Meteorological Department.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
Dear President Obama, I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza." Palestinians have families, too. This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide. I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world. Love, Ms Rachel
Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing
This is the 2nd anniversary of the start of a genocide that made Gaza the most dangerous place on earth for children— that has raised a mirror to the rot at the core of our world.

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution.
But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
The thing to understand about Chicago is that the people who live here love this fucking city, and we will defend it. Always.
I really hope complex life has formed elsewhere in the universe and that it worked out better than it has on earth
On this day more than 50 years ago, Sylvia Rivera climbed onto a stage to advocate for incarcerated trans people at a Pride rally and demanded trans inclusion in the fight for rights.
Hearing her speech is important 50 years later.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.
