SJPD police cruiser parked in bike lane. Wonder what would happen if you or I parked there? Wonder what could happen to cyclists trying to stay out of the car lane. Fail. #sjpd @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

Two San Jose Police Department cruisers parked downtown. The second is obstructing the bike lane.

Thread I get it. You hated how things were and voted for the guy who said he'd destroy what you hate. Now he's doing it. I hate to break it to you, but he's not doing these things for you on your behalf. He's doing them to you for his enrichment.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
