I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact

That's interesting. It's not what I've observed in my demographic (parent of school aged kids) in multiple communities. Perhaps the pattern is different in more affordable housing markets, or where jobs are harder to come by?

Low pay, hustling, gig-working, patching together multiple jobs, and two-income families means more hours worked out of the house

It's much more expensive to rent or buy homes near robust employment centers and near good public transportation, in great part I think that people are increasingly valuing urban culture and amenities, easy commutes, and car-free living.

BREAKING: Trump's new military Budget would increase our National Debt by an additional $5 TRILLION over 10 years and lead to the largest deficit spending increase ever. Did you vote for this? I certainly didn't. Trump clearly wants to bankrupt the United States like he did his casinos.

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.
