America has a thing called Trunk or Treat where people dress up, drive to a parking lot, and pretend it's ok we don't have walkable communities anymore.

My 6 year old spends his weekends walking, scootering, & generally being wild all over LA. I don’t worry about his safety because of neighbors who are forced to sleep on the street. I do worry about the cracked sidewalks that trip him. My city spends too much on the LAPD to fix them.

Caltrain ridership continues to grow thanks to enhanced off-peak service due to electrification. Meanwhile Metrolink ridership has stagnated due to service cuts caused by mechanical problems with their diesel trains. #ElectrifyMetrolink

"The thing that makes a bike lane 'equitable' is that most people can afford a bike even if they can’t afford a car" "the transportation we needed was there all along, just waiting to get better. A bike is magic, and an e-bike is a bike without hills and showers. That’s enough miracle for now."

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

The death penalty is barbaric, it doesn’t act as a deterrent, and every other advanced country has banned it. Long past time we did too.

His entire business model hinges on hoovering up public money and then turning around to use some of that money to promote white supremacy which somehow brings in more public money.

"Democrats don't have any income" is an insane statement, but it's also an admission that he sees the money collected by the United States government as his personal piggy bank, to be raided as he sees fit.

A Dem sweep (House/Senate) in the midterms is the best chance we have for Congress to start holding Trump accountable and to claw back the legislative branch’s functional check on the executive.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

I really urge people to read Project 2025 and how the Heritage Foundation writes about Title IX elsewhere. These folks believe that Title IX is discriminating against MEN by taking scholarships and opportunities away from guys and pressuring women to do activities outside their ladylike tendencies.

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

Notably, travel times also did not increase outside the congestion zone. This mirrors what we have seen in other aggregate congestion pricing impacts. For example, it was predicted that drivers would change their routes to avoid the zone, creating new congestion; this, too, did not happen.

When it comes to road safety, cities have two choices: Adapt kids to traffic: keep them indoors and drive them everywhere. Or adapt traffic to kids: make streets safe enough to move as autonomous members of society. The choice says a lot about the kind of city we want to build. youtu.be/O_WjWRmQwtg

I had just learned of Peter Gleick three weeks ago as a carbrain opponent of bike lanes in California. Then as an active NIMBY. But then, I saw serious defenses of him as a climate scientist. So I tried to reconcile them. Can't. There is a harmful tension. politicsofcars.beehiiv.com/p/peter-glei...
