Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.
We see that our political system is broken, then keep behaving as if it worked. We need serious change, and it's time to take bigger swings.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Me: "I’ll have a Chef Salad, no lettuce." Waiter: "So just a bowl of meats and cheeses?" Me: "Still call it a salad though."
“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com
Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport
Pedal power is booming, spinning up a new culture war

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Give Them an Inch...
And they'll take away women's sports...

In China, robots which are also solar panels, clean the other solar panels. Original post
Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.
This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

E-bikes give people affordable, clean transportation. If kids are getting hit by pickup trucks, the answer isn’t to treat e-bikes like the problem; it’s protected bike lanes, safer crossings, lower traffic speeds, and infrastructure that keeps everyone separated from multi-ton vehicles.
Stop worrying about 2028, if we don't show up and VOTE them out in November, it won't matter.
I keep watching this and obviously, Chelsea's pass is the highlight. But I also think Jackie knowing that a ridiculous pass was coming was a huge part of it. The Aces' core just knows each other so well.

This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!
Voted 🗳️ Don’t forget to take your ballots to a drop box by 8pm today, Seattle.
It's sad the way Seattle voters have lost touch with the Seattle Times editorial board.
So far, voters overwhelmingly approve Seattle library levy
A property tax levy to fund the city's public library system over the next seven years is solidly ahead after the first release of vote totals Tuesday evening.

Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.
I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.

ICE out of Inwood. ICE out of every neighborhood. People are dying in ICE custody. Children separated from parents. Communities are shut out of vital services. We won't give up—and we know our rights: advocate.nyc.gov/blog/resources-to-protect-and-defend-immigrant-communities 📷 Cristobal Vivar

🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters have rejected a ballot measure to limit their own ability to pass amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that fueled extraordinarily high voter turnout in Tuesday’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

God bless my nerdy kids watching the election results. Lol. Tear of pride.
Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a cargo bike and that’s basically the same thing. 🤩 Happy 6th birthday to my Urban Arrow! Hit this milestone last night.
