An outside study shows JTA is not being honest about the numbers behind NAVI, the transit system no one wants. Transportation planner and Jaxson cofounder Ennis Davis says it’s time to kill NAVI— so we can have an honest discussion on the Skyway’s future. jaxtoday.org/2026/09/09/t...

let's keep at it, but i'm definitely uncomfortable with the suggestion that not donating blood at all is a reasonable form of protest against any remaining discriminatory policy. i'm pretty sure the FDA doesn't care whether you do or not, while at the same time, that donation can save a life

Red Cross officials are pleading with Americans to donate blood, especially if they have O-positive blood.

This was the worst Congressional attack on DC Home Rule we've seen, and Doordash admits they instigated. DELETE YOUR DOORDASH Account. Mobile: In the app, go to the Me tab. Navigate to Manage Account → Manage Account and enter your login credentials; then, select Delete Account.

gearing up for a day of totally out of pocket takes, but a few reminders: 1. Home rule should never be contingent on which way DC votes and anyone saying otherwise can eat shit 2. DC is a real place with its own issues for real people, not a stand in for national politics writ large

I think it is possible to live and work in DC and not see them. But, as someone who sees them every day, near my home and near my work, it remains deeply and viscerally unpleasant

Reminder that this is still a common sight in DC. Never normalize it.

The fixation on a small amount of lithium for ebikes is weird. Ebikes open up more recreational terrain, particularly for women, the elderly, and the disabled. I see nothing wrong with ebikes for recreational riding. People take recreational drives in cars all the time

Neil Tangri@tangri0.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I think the question is, what do they replace? If an e-bike replaces a car (even for some trips), great! But if it’s just an expensive recreational bicycle, was it worth the lithium mining?

Just heard my train operator announce connections available to the DC Streetcar when pulling into Union Station and it made me do a double take. I guess some habits are hard to break lol @wmata.com

NEWS: A federal judge has saved the 15th Street protected bike lane (for now), saying the decision to remove the lane running from Constitution Avenue to the Tidal Basin was "arbitrary and capricious and not the result of reasoned decision-making." It was to be removed this week.

Yup. The only reason Orban is accepting his defeat is that he knows that if he were to attempt to hold onto power by force, he'd wind up as a street ornament.

Ian Dunt@iandunt.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Bike lanes that greatly reduced crashes on National Mall set for removal

After the 15th Street bike lanes were constructed, bicycle injury crashes decreased by 91 percent, according to the District Department of Transportation.

The 15th Street Protected Bike Lane south of Constitution Ave is slated to be removed on Monday, per 2 sources Reportedly DDOT did not raise strong objections to it and has further not objected to using the Hains Point bike lanes for car traffic during the cherry blossoms

The Marines divested all of their tanks a couple years ago so the force being sent to the gulf is even lighter than is implied in these slides.

There is a proposal in the Federal Department of Transportation right now to possibly break up Amtrak into 3 companies under a single holding company. Why? There are not many details at the moment, but I take a few guesses in this video: youtu.be/g53xTWjESyE

I recently received “The Bomber Mafia” as a birthday gift (heh). It was bad, so bad that I believe it cannot be read as a reliable account of strategic bombing in World War II. In so many ways, it demonstrates the worst tendencies of the “pop history” genre. My review (and latest)⬇️

This administration sees bike facilities as a target in its culture war, and it can act quickly (if illegally) in DC. According to the latest WABA newsletter, the fed gov is planning to remove parts of the 15th St. NW PBL, and they might move as soon as next week. www.reddit.com/r/bikedc/com...

Periodic reminder that while you should OF COURSE respond to any calls for blood donation immediately after a crisis if you can, it's even more important to donate when there ISN'T an emergency. If they're asking for donations right after a crisis, it means supplies were already critically low.

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/
