I'm reading Original Sin and I've never been more infuriated. Biden and those around him acted with such reckless irresponsibility it's stunning. Honestly, I hope we end up with a new and viable progressive party as a result of what the Democrats have done to themselves.

Someone please explain like I am five why this is a cute flashing light that drivers are completely oblivious to rather than like, a RED LIGHT for an appropriate time for cyclists to make it through the shoulder-less tunnel and give folks riding bikes a semblance of a chance to like, survive.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

More data supporting the need to restrict vehicle sizes. Car bloat is killing people, plain and simple.

As SUVs become more common, there is an increase in their impact at the population level. At present, the authors estimate that the proportion of car crashes involving an SUV is around 45% in the USA and around 20% in Europe. If all SUVs were replaced with passenger cars, the number of pedestrians and cyclists killed in car crashes would decrease by an estimated 17% in the USA and by 8% in Europe. The number of child pedestrians and cyclists killed in car crashes would decrease by 27% in the USA and by 14% in Europe.

This photo captures an imbalance perfectly. A dense, human-scale environment where everything fits, until a midsized SUV shoves its way in, claiming space like it’s entitled to it. That’s the design failure of car-centric cities.

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang. One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.

Anyelo had told his sister on Friday night that he would be deported to Venezuela, she said in a phone interview with Reuters from Texas.
Solanyer said her brother had been detained on January 31 after an appointment at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. He had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally with Solanyer and another sister in November 2023 and had been released to pursue a claim for asylum.
Solanyer said an ICE officer told her that her brother was detained because of a tattoo that linked him to Tren de Aragua, a violent gang with Venezuelan prison origins that has spread through the Americas. She said the tattoo depicted a rose and that he had gotten it in a tattoo parlor in Dallas.

One reason I think it’s important to continue to highlight the disparity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it. Despite it being obvious to some, so many people don't have real clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.

This is why you hire professionals who understand active transportation. If this had been covered, usage would have skyrocketed. Instead, a basic design flaw discourages people from parking their bikes, a predictable outcome of poor planning.

USAID was created by an Act of Congress in 1961; it cannot legitimately be dissolved by presidential edict. Ofc how long this period of misrule will last is anyone’s guess.

Trump planning to issue executive order as early as tonight to shut down USAID and merge it with State, says source. Rubio will be acting head.
