I’m surprised and disappointed that @cambbikesafety.bsky.social and @abundanthousingma.org endorsed Brownsberger over @daniel-lander.bsky.social My read is they’re sticking with an incumbent who’s 20 years in the State House delivered some incremental wins. But that’s not enough anymore

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.

This is devastating. Louisa was everything you could ask of a colleague and a human being -- smart, committed, hardworking, and, above all, kind and compassionate. I am heartbroken for her family and for the many people who have lost a beloved friend and colleague today.

It turns out that fining people for speeding makes them less likely to speed.

After at least a year of being there, the abandoned bicycles with missing parts and rusted chains have been removed by @streets.boston.gov from the bike racks on my block! Submitted some 311s a long time ago, and a month ago saw tags put on the bikes warning of removal

Quite sad we’ve seemingly given up on land use reform (upzoning), bus lanes, bike lanes, etc. When Wu was elected 4 years ago she had clear tangible policy goals, but I’m honestly unsure what they are now (maintain status-quo?)

It’s odd to me the MBTA Worcester/Framingham line schedule budgets 16 mins for the ride from Lansdowne to Back Bay Even at a slow pace, it just took 3 mins

I feel that stop signs and “dismount and walk signs” on multiuse paths are just meant to shift blame onto bikes/peds when they get hit by a car there

“Josh Kraft’s mayoral campaign has apparently convinced too many people in City Hall who ought to know better that making streets safer and investing in public transit was politically risky. Josh Kraft’s election results should debunk that theory for good.“

Editorial: Bike Lane Haters Keep On Losing - Streetsblog Massachusetts
As it turns out, a considerable number of informed voters understand that if we actually want less traffic, we need to design streets that favor more efficient modes of transportation.

Nazi nominated to high government position. Infusing White supremacy into our refugee admissions policy. Also known as “Tuesday” in the Trump administration.
Screenshot of headline reading: Trump refugee plan seeks 7,000 Afrikaners — and virtually no one else

The administration's rush to process thousands of White South Africans coincides with plans for overall admissions set as low as 7,500.

Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.
White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

100-mile bike ride today, and ~70% of it was on trails Much of Boston road section had bike lanes, and the suburban roads were ok. Also, some of the road sections could be done on trail/sidewalk (e.g. waltham, southie), but road was ok alternative when considering speed

fascinating thing about this is that electricity prices are going nuts and the structural factors that should drive prices up (data center construction, climate, the increasingly un-ringfenced natural gas market) are not yet playing major roles in the price rises which means it's only getting worse

This is what crossings in front of schools should look like. Raised crossing, short crossing distance, 20mph speed limit, close street trees for calming, protected bike lane, two-way road narrows to a pinch point / cars have to slow down and take turns.

This is so good! A strong belief of mine is that we need widespread upzoning, so that new development is dispersed and done overtime instead of quick and concentrated in one area Also development shouldn’t be limited to loud busy streets, but throughout neighborhoods

More greenwashing solar canopies over surface parking here in Cambridge (near Alewife T), one of the most expensive cities in the country. Solar structures over it increases the switching costs to build, and parking enables car trips. PV panels belong on buildings, parking belongs under buildings.
