- Reposted by Carol HaywoodThey murdered him in cold blood, and then they lied and called him a terrorist for trying to help his neighbours. They’ll do it to anyone.
- “.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

- This family was seeking emergency medical care for their 7-year-old daughter, but ICE detained them outside of the hospital. The family is now detained in TX. No one knows whether the child ever got the care she needed. The family has applied for asylum and has no criminal record. #AbolishICE

- Reposted by Carol HaywoodEvery Senate Democrat should unite against this bill, and Senate leadership should make sure they do. Now our job is to flood the Senate with calls demanding ICE Out For Good. Or you can send an email to your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...
- Reposted by Carol HaywoodThe reason rank and file Dems are pissed at their party is because their party doesn't lead in key moments. The good news is it's primary season, and now's when we get to demand better leadership. I recommend everybody adopt 1 or 2 DINOs and dedicate yourself to replacing them with Dems who fight.
- Reposted by Carol HaywoodThis goes out to the public. Ask every elected official that represents you if they support ABOLISHING ICE. Report back publicly. If they can’t say that they want to ELIMINATE the fascist secret police that is kidnapping people? Get a new elected. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

- Reposted by Carol HaywoodNever forget, car dependency isn’t freedom. Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?” Choices. Choices are more free than car dependency. It’s not a hard concept. I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport. I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

- Protected bike lanes are shit if not cleared after snow. Five days after our most recent Chicago snowstorm, I couldn't even ride in the Kinzie bike lane. In some cases, snow has been pushed *into* the bike lanes. Meanwhile, #PlowTheSidewalks was killed by @mayorofchicago.bsky.social.
- The bike infrastructure has been inching forward in #Chicago. We can't quit in the winter. Chicagoans don't quit in the cold.
- Northwestern leaders capitulated and have trampled on their own people in the process.

- The scale of Alice Wong's @sfdirewolf.bsky.social legacy is one we can't yet measure, but it's already immense. Her force exceeded every expectation set out for her, and she shared so many gifts with the world - not least of which was her unapologetic pride in disability.
- I’m devastated by @sfdirewolf.bsky.social’s passing. Alice was an incredible advocate, writer, and human. I miss her so much already and am grateful for our time together but mostly for the legacy she left us all. Her memory is a huge blessing. www.facebook.com/share/14QATF...
- Reposted by Carol HaywoodThis is a victory for our organizers, our lawyers, our activists, our documentarians. It’s nowhere near enough, and, devastatingly, it’s too late for some, who chose to leave the U.S. rather than face the inhumane conditions at Broadview or elsewhere. www.nbcchicago.com/investigatio...
