This is also just about 1.5 miles daily--doable because the Dutch prioritize homes being located close places that people need to go. We could have this in the US in about a decade just by removing the myriad laws prohibiting good land use. Our cities suck because it's illegal for them not to.

The Times is using these trash "news analysis" articles to invent a narrative in which the DSA is a liability and the left poses an electoral threat to Democrats. This is only true if the mainstream media keeps framing it like it is!

Head Start is the leading anti-poverty program for young children, and for decades it has had bipartisan support. It's a lifeline--and now President Trump, having failed to defund it, is trying to gut it another way.

Deportations are death sentences. "[The couple was] killed weeks after González de la Cruz self-deported to be with her husband, who was deported last year. Their 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body. The child showed signs of dehydration." www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

A driver in Boston ran down and murdered a scooter rider because he felt "disrespected." Cars are weapons.

Investigators said the victim was riding a scooter when the suspect allegedly accelerated and intentionally struck him before fleeing north on Blue Hill Avenue toward Seaver Street.

Investigators said Ruiz Soto told them he felt disrespected after some sort of encounter with the victim moments earlier.

"(Ruiz Soto) also said in an interview if he did anything, the victim deserved it," the prosecutor said.

There's dead and then there's mostly dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. However in this case there's only one thing to do, which is to go through his clothes and look for loose change.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
