Things that become even more essential when β›½ goes up:

BRT & more bus lanes

Park & Ride, also using the bus lanes.

Tax rebates for all bicycles.

More micro mobility/bike lanes. Start with tactical.

Safer crosswalks, refuge Islands

Liberal pundits/influencers like this are thisclose to getting it - but they still can't let themselves take the next step.

They still can't let themselves understand how turning hope & change into more of the same was a key moment of demoralization that catalyzed the subsequent disaster.

A small SUV that looks like it's about to be driven lengthwise over concrete pieces that are in the road protecting a two-way bike lane in downtown Bethesda. There is a whole open lane next to the driver to drive on.

The good thing about concrete vs plastic flex posts is, if this driver tries to keep going, they will probably be minus an oil pan.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Cycling advocates: The mayor endorsed us. Now he advocates against us. In 2023, Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed our bike grid plan. Now, he advocates against us and our right to safe infrastructure.

Chicago should drop opposition to HB2454, which makes bicyclists the β€œintended users” of all city roads. Bill would allow cyclists to hold the city accountable for road conditions the same way drivers hold it accountable. Op-ed @nikhunder.com #CharnaAlbert. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/06/o...

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

So when the Superman trailer came out, he wuz too bright an' cartoony.

Now the Lanterns trailer came out, an' it ain't colorful enough!

It's almost as if Snyderbots don't actually stand for anything and just want to hate comic book movies.

As Bike Cars Overflow, Caltrain Bans Large Bikes and Panniers - Streetsblog San Francisco New rules heavily restrict the types of bikes Caltrain users can bring on board. Years ago advocates warned Caltrain that they weren't allotting enough bike space on the new trains

we are at this point because local transit agencies critically underserve caltrain stations with slow and unreliable busses (and trains, looking at the T-third). i would happily take transit all the way to work if it didn't mean adding 40 minutes to my commute

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.
