The graphics in this article really effectively point out some of the reasons for increased pedestrian fatalities in USA. Of course distracted driving and a societal lack of empathy by a large portion of motor vehicle drivers are also major factors. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The Deadly Rise of Giant Trucks and S.U.V.s
The vehicles on American roads have grown larger — and they are killing thousands more pedestrians, a Times investigation found.

In a blow to American science and innovation, Trump fires entire 22 member NSF Science Board! Just a dictator’s latest attempt to “silence independent scientists, shut down evidence-based decision making, and keep the public in the dark.” A real “bozo move!” share.google/edsIhZmlKJXH...
Trump’s purge of National Science Board condemned as a ‘real bozo the clown move’

While lots of things suck, I did take my best photos of a bald eagle today along Tomichi Creek in Colorado today.
As you encounter Trump regime defenses of summarily executing a man on the streets of America because he was (supposedly) armed, I invite you to recall the Bundy Ranch standoff, and the Right’s celebration of a man who aimed a rifle at law enforcement. www.findinggravity.net/the-next-tim...

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
Very minor in current apocalypse, but I find it so telling that people (and lawmakers) increasingly refuse to acknowledge that e-bikes and electric motorcycles are different things.
SCOTUS has been completely corrupt for the vast majority of my life…and I’m 52 yrs old. There are no checks, and no balances.
Asha Rangappa@asharangappa.bsky.social · 9mo agoYet another example of the idiocy of the Supreme Court’s immunity opinion: If Trump invades Greenland, even for the most insane reason (like not winning the Nobel Peace Prize) and against our obvious national interest, it’s an “official act” that can never be held legally accountable
Fight and help win a world war. Establish a global order that cements your national power for 80 years. Blow it all up. What am I missing?

"It's unprecedented that we have the federal gov't that's already determined exactly what's happened here and the motives of an individual that we don't even know the name, they don't even know the name." MN Gov. Walz speaks at a press conference after a woman was fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis
Trump replaced one Venezuelan dictator with two: himself and Maduro's top lackey. Then he declared that Venezuela's opposition—which represents a majority of the people—is irrelevant, and added that he'll be ruling Venezuela and stealing its oil. Anyone celebrating is delusional.
If prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America?…Make it make sense please. It’s about the oil&minerals

Bears repeating that one of Russia’s first major social media influence campaigns in the US promoted antivax views. Why? For it’s a way to do clear material harm to the country. And here we are.

NREL has produced 1000 patents and 50,000 publications and billions of dollars in economic benefit and the people in charge probably want to kill it
Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social · 10mo agoNEW: I heard from a bunch of NREL employees after the announcement of a name change yesterday. They're not thrilled. "Morale is bad. Funding is tenuous.... I've been through two W administrations, many R congresses, and [the first] Trump admin. This is the worst."
Dear Establishment Democratic Party (including the 88 fascists), Fuck every single one of you. This country is being driven into the grave by crass opportunists like you. And a special Fuck You to every single Republican for obvious reasons. A reckoning can not come fast enough.
Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · 10mo agoUS Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries. What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E
Impeach the traitor to OUR country before it’s too late.
As someone who grew up in PA and cast several ballots in PA before moving away, this guy is one of the biggest backstabbers to the Democratic party that I’ve seen.
“Justice” department…more like Just ICE…
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 11mo agoThe Justice Department told Congress this week that President Trump could lawfully continue his lethal military strikes on people suspected of smuggling drugs at sea. The move rests on the idea that a Vietnam-era law called the War Powers Resolution does not apply to airstrike campaigns.

Maybe everyone should ensure that their federal tax withholding = $0 now. The USA government is not doing anything that the vast majority of Americans support, agree with or accept.. And when we they do startup again in the future (???), I have zero interest in funding this fascist regime anyhow.
