Today's Fridays Without Fetterman rally outside of his office had the usual giant head, and a Pittsburgh Overpass Project banner reading STOP ILLEGAL & BOMBING AND WARS.

ughhhh, I was driving and a pedestrian was looking at their phone while crossing, so I had to lightly tap on the pedal directly below my foot and do what’s 100% expected of me by not hitting them.... and they didn’t even thank or acknowledge me. Talk about entitled.
The photo depicts exactly why gigantic trucks and SUVs should not exist.
Hegseth, just minutes apart
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

In 24 hours, Republicans have blocked FIVE attempts from Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, our cyber defenses, & Coast Guard while talks continue to rein in ICE & Border Patrol.
Republicans are holding TSA agents' paychecks hostage so they can give more $ to ICE, with no reforms.
Is there a coder out there who could create an Iran video game for him so we don’t have to witness his fantasies become actual policy and human rights violations?

Fun fact: My proposed headline for this one was "The Road Safety Metric That Needs to Die."
I'm really, really tired of traffic engineers sealioning about US crash deaths being (slightly) less horrific if you divide them by VMT instead of population.
President Lyndon B. Johnson used the power of the bully pulpit to demand that every citizen be granted the equal right to vote. Today, we have a president demanding that Congress pull back that very right.
Yes!!

Damn -- talk about saying the quiet part out loud (!)
Small businesses across Pittsburgh are finding ways to support immigrant communities, from sharing ICE sightings to raising money for Casa San Jose and Frontline Dignity. Some see it “as a bit of a moral obligation.” buff.ly/lOw6Q1C
Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”
What could possibly go wrong, right?
Trump's pressure campaign against Anthropic shows we are entering a future where the government could harness the power of AI against its own people. Read my thoughts on Substack ➡️ bit.ly/4lbLS52
This is a bs “apology” from Fox. They claim it was “inadvertent” - a lie. They aired old footage because they didn’t want to show Trump wearing his campaign hat during the ceremony. Then in this statement they STILL don’t show the correct footage of Trump. bsky.app/profile/aaro...
She has a point.
Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”
Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth
Uh...not an e-bike
Definitely not an e-bike
And this isn't an e-bike
But this is not an e-bike
Can anyone tell me what the bike industry and/or People For Bikes are doing about the way e-bikes are being blamed for havoc caused by people riding electric motorcycles?!!?
WAY MORE THAN HALF THE STORIES ABOUT DEATHS CAUSED BY E-BIKES DO NOT INVOLVE E-BIKES. THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.
This, for the love of Pete
Wow. The corruption and self-dealing is boundless — in the billions.
NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.
If Trump is serious about ending Noem’s tenure, DHS should immediately reverse her decisions to:
**put ICE in schools, hospitals, and houses of worship
**make it harder for people fleeing autocratic nations to seek asylum
**deprive people of due process
Until then, we will still be in court.
In just one week we launch our seven-day series of community town halls across the Greater Pittsburgh region. We want to hear from you: How can journalism better serve the public?
First up: Beechview from 3-4:30 p.m. on March 12 at the Pittsburgh Hispanic Development Corporation
New in PN: Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud
"It's bad enough that the campaign against MN is driven by gutter racism. Just as shocking is that this president, who spent a lifetime running scams & swindles, says with a straight face that he wants to fight fraud. And that Vance is the man to do it."
My bad, thanks!
