Considering our nearby alpine ski resort is currently under wildfire evacuation orders and the air is too unhealthy to go outside, it may be time for legislators to reconsider this three billion dollar polluting climate destroying proposal to double the width of I-5 into Harriet Tubman Middle School
In two years it will be pushed back indefinitely and street improvements will never come, just as the safe streets advocates foretold.
"construction work on the highway caps and much of the new street infrastructure, which was initially slated to begin as early as next year, is being pushed back by two or four years due to the lack of funding."

I went on a date with a guy who worked in recycling advocacy and I’m pretty sure the moment that broke it was the look of disbelief on my face when he assured me that plastics do actually get recycled because the recycling center takes them. Nice guy otherwise.
Most plastic items are too small for recyclers to bother sorting and processing, or they're assembled in such a way that it's less expensive to just make new plastic. In fact, only 5% of Americans’ plastic finds new life. (Published Aug. 2024)

if you operate on a basis that some system of Justice will always have your back, you then have to deny that those systems do not, in fact, operate for you or for The People and that realization can be terrifying. thru leftism, that terror is soothed by remembering you have Each Other, not The State
Gender affirming care literally saved my son’s life. Not surprised by this study.
1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.
The anti trans crowd was outraged by this study because it included clinicians who actually practice gender affirming care. Yet another systematic review that follows Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Utah, and Louisiana that finds this care is safe and effective with rare regret.
