Getting involved in advocacy against car dependency has radicalized me on a wide range of issues. So it really grinds my gears when people sneer and say, "Don't you get it, you can't bike everywhere?" as if I haven't spent years understanding the fucked up systems at play in this country.

Don’t let Dominion blame climate programs for rising power bills. Let’s look at the real 2025 numbers: - Dominion Corporate Profits: $11.6 Billion - Dominion CEO Pay: $16 Million They raised our rates in 2026 and want more in 2027. The problem isn’t RGGI; it’s corporate greed and fossil fuels 💸✍️🌱
