Whether older people are biking at all is a very clear marker of whether our streets are designed well.

We've had a number of older pedestrians and cyclists killed by drivers recently in Massachusetts, and something I've noticed is how those deaths are treated even more dismissively than usual because of ageism and ableism. People of *all* ages and abilities deserve safe mobility.

This stolen money needs to be returned to blue states by the next administration with interest.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I’m reading Mayor Wu’s street safety letter. When does she get to the part where she fires Mike Brohel?

Ray-Ban is undermining its entire image. From now on, when people see Ray-Bans of any kind, they're gonna think "pervert."

Shit that was found exclusively in Nazi message boards a decade ago is now espoused in public by members of the Executive Branch and the wealthiest person on the planet routinely and that fact is somehow verboten to discuss.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Skocpol. Skocpol. Skocpol. We have forgotten what politics is. It is not policy. That is not what moves people.

Why has DSA grown? One argument from this research: not just ideology, but organization. Strong membership plus ongoing and continuous participation in social movements creates credibility, committed volunteers, political skills, and durable electoral capacity. www.niskanencenter.org/inside-the-d...

Research here suggests question: What would it look like for traditional parties to organize continuously rather than episodically? Not just parachuting in at election time, but building relationships, skills, and trust through year-round work in communities. www.niskanencenter.org/inside-the-d...

Candidates affiliated with (or sympathetic to) the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) have recently won several Democratic primaries.

I don’t understand the purpose of prosecuting Lindsay Clancy.

The common thread of using paperwork and reporting requirements to both pursue mass deportation and deny access to food ought to point to a key mechanism of state violence.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

Essentially, this would be (1) paying Donald Trump to (a) make market-moving statements, and (b) provide inside information about those statements—and hence (2) setting up a market manipulation scheme and giving Trump his cut of it.

The CDC tracked Cyclospora for 28 years. RFK Jr. made that surveillance optional. Now thousands of Americans are sick, and we don't know where the outbreak began. Who saw this coming? Anyone who believes in science. Americans are paying the price for his reckless incompetence.

Hear our two-parter on John Forrester and his book, "Effective Cycling," the bible of vehicular cycling. While we've come a long way, cities are still feeling the effects of his movement. thewaroncars.org/2024/07/09/1...

If you're advocating vehicular cycling in the year 2026 you are not an ally in The War on Cars

I'm not here to debate legality (there are actual legal scholars for that), I'm just here to say this is loser behavior.

Trump curse is undefeated.

The Louisiana Republican Party has made it a policy priority to depopulate New Orleans by any and all means. Like, I'm fairly certain this is something they talk about openly.

red states routinely compromise the ability of their cities to do basic self governance but if you ever dare suggest that urban Americans act in their political self interest it's endless "do you have no SOUL, those are REAL people, how DARE" and it's fucking pathetic. have some self respect
