OP-ED: “Removing Toronto's bike lanes puts children's health at risk.” Actually, well documented evidence shows that EVERYONE is put at risk. And it costs EVERYONE. “The Ford government decision to tear up bike-lanes is bad for kids, families, cyclists, drivers, taxpayers & the planet.” And more.

The ‘Kelvin wave’ hitting California is a potent warning about sea-level rise
Sea level on the California coast is likely to be pushed to extremes this winter by compounding forces, but these extremes could be the norm by the end of the century

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk…” One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen any politician do to any city.

Unless you lived under a rock, you knew how gross he was. And then this was uncovered. We all breathed a sigh of relief. It was over. No way he would be elected now. This is when we learned how many people in our country cared more about white supremacy than decency, honesty and equality.

What's that saying; "Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities?" Possibly by Voltaire, though its origin is disputed. But the truth of that saying is backed up by too many historical atrocities. 3/4
