Author of THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS, "brilliant and alarming" (Booklist), "deeply researched...eye-opening, urgent" (Kirkus). Now on sale http://bit.ly/3AsDJUw
it's makes me think of the part in @jessiesinger.bsky.social's There Are No Accidents that highlights the differences in how safety is perceived by men and women, that women more accurately perceive their safety than men. And that becomes a problem when the systems are designed primarily by men.
As Donald Trump attempts to rebuild racist monuments throughout the country, let's look back at the racist monuments Bay Ridge residents have successfully exorcised... And learn how these "historic" sites were faked by racist assholes in the 1900s and 1950s. radiofreebayridge.org/episode/raci...
Racist Monuments In Bay Ridge • Radio Free Bay Ridge
In this episode, we deeply examine all the reasons why we should finally tear down our remaining Confederate monuments in Bay Ridge.

This is pretty amazing. I wonder if there is any work that's pushing for this in Canada at a Provincial level? @visionzerovancouver.ca do you know?

A terrific thread from @jessiesinger.bsky.social about VA's new law. Important model for other states -- and demonstrates the power of working on state legislation. Give her VERY short thread a read!

Very happy for Virginia, but would love these to get installed on Maryland cars by default, just to save some time

Families for Safe Streets@fam4safestreets.bsky.social · last yr.We are beyond excited to announce that Virginia has just made history by passing HB2096, the #StopSuperSpeeders bill—the first of its kind in the nation at the state level! 🎉
This is only going to get worse in next couple of years as the oligarch administration gets rid of safety regulations. 'There Are No Accidents'. @jessiesinger.bsky.social
Ironically, some of the best data proving these connections came from the U.S., which has tracked injuries and other health issues by race for many years (Canada has less such data).The author @jessiesinger.bsky.social uses such numbers extensively in her book, There Are No Accidents.
Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries. We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district. Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinfo...
gwen howerton@kissphoria.bsky.social · last yr.The "F.U.R.R.I.E.S ACT" bill from Stan Gerdes (R-Smithville) would prohibit "non-human behavior" in Texas schools, including but not limited to: -Litterboxes -Tails -"Leashes, collars, other accessories designed for pets" -"Barking, meowing, hissing, or other animal noises" -"licking oneself"
Next Friday in Bay Ridge! Don't let politicians hide from their constituents.
Please join me if you can this evening, at the Tesla Tigard store. The Oregon EV Association president has been dismissive of protests against Tesla, saying the organization welcomes "even those who approve of Nazi salutes." SUPPORTING EVs DOES NOT REQUIRE WELCOMING NAZIS! #TeslaTakedown
e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online · last yr.Join me at 6:30 pm this Thursday, to protest the Oregon EV Association's board meeting and marketing event at Tesla's Tigard store. Let's show the OEVA that Teslas are political now, whether they like it or not! #TeslaTakedown actionnetwork.org/events/oeva-...
