I'm reading Original Sin and I've never been more infuriated. Biden and those around him acted with such reckless irresponsibility it's stunning.

Honestly, I hope we end up with a new and viable progressive party as a result of what the Democrats have done to themselves.

When you check the Streetview of the bike route that Google Maps gave you:

Button and sign saying bike when flashing in front of highway tunnel with no shoulder

Someone please explain like I am five why this is a cute flashing light that drivers are completely oblivious to rather than like, a RED LIGHT for an appropriate time for cyclists to make it through the shoulder-less tunnel and give folks riding bikes a semblance of a chance to like, survive.

It’s only a matter of time before one of these street assaults leads to a shoot out.

And I’m not sure that’s not the administration’s intent

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

More data supporting the need to restrict vehicle sizes. Car bloat is killing people, plain and simple.

Until we stop catering to the angry drivers, people will continue to be killed by them.

An audit of L.A.’s program to fix deadly streets outlines its many failures L.A.’s big plan to curb traffic deaths is failing miserably. An independent audit details how.

LA is failing to keep streets safe. Great article from @ryan-fonseca.bsky.social this morning deataling the Vision Zero audit.

Spoiler alert, the streets actually got worse.

Slow down drivers with this one weird trick: Make them terrified of scratching their cars.

This photo captures an imbalance perfectly.

A dense, human-scale environment where everything fits, until a midsized SUV shoves its way in, claiming space like it’s entitled to it. That’s the design failure of car-centric cities.

gee i wonder why voters might've been confused about the existential stakes of the last election

I hate that in California, no matter how much community input we get, how many studies we do or how many people vote yes on referenda we still aren't given the safe infra we are promised.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

An important assertion in this statement is that the flight to Louisiana occurred on Wednesday morning. The district court ordered that she not to be moved out of Massachusetts on Tuesday.

Someone asked me what to do if you see someone being snatched off the street like those students detained by ICE, and whether you should ask them to tell you their family members’ numbers or their lawyer to notify them, to try to help.

It’s a noble sentiment. But…
