Encouraging info from CM Chavez. My issue here is that the entire history of Big Tech is doing illegal things and daring people to stop them, which rarely happens. We need to say a robot can't drive AND provide a framework for strong penalties when the companies inevitably ignore that law.

The president thinks federal goons haven’t been violent *enough* with the American people. The president seems to hope that his thugs will kill someone soon.

Anyone else looking at the Trumpite deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford to the Caribbean in the supposed "war against drug cartels" and thinking of the Gulf of Tonkin incident? Just me? Cool, cool cool cool cool. 🤨😬🫣

Heck, if you really need to link this back to kitchen-table-kitchen-table-kitchen-table, it's easy to do: While Trump is driving costs through the roof with his unhinged tariff spree and other reckless, failed policies, he's looting $230 million from the US Treasury and sticking it in his pocket.

In all seriousness, seeing Trump demolish the East Wing to build a gilded ballroom for his wealthy donors is stomach-churning stuff. The Administration claims no congressional approval or historic-preservation review was needed before demolition began. That should alarm everyone. Quick 🧵 (1/5)

"Every tyrant tries to convince the public that support for them is all but universal and opposition is both dangerous and futile. Trump will keep saying that. But after No Kings, it will be even harder to believe than it was before." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.

Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Any news organization that says Trump "posted a fake video of him dumping shit on Americans" is clearer and more informative than the New York Times. The Times' political coverage is useless at best, but essentially pro-fascist.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

The firearms ownership ban for trans people is patently unconstitutional, and I'm willing to risk sounding naive in saying the courts will immediately reject it, including SCOTUS. But meanwhile, this signals where the Trump admin is moving on trans people. And it's terrifying.

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

Average nitrogen dioxide concentration in Paris has fallen significantly

Her proposals have faced pushback — from right-leaning politicians, a car owners’ association and suburban commuters, who say that targeting cars makes their lives more difficult.

But last month, Parisians voted in a referendum to turn an additional 500 streets over to pedestrians. A year earlier, Paris had moved to sharply increase parking fees for SUVs, forcing drivers to pay three times more than they would for smaller cars. The city has also turned a bank of the Seine from a busy artery into a pedestrian zone and banned most car traffic from the shopping boulevard of Rue de Rivoli.

Carlos Moreno, a professor at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and a former adviser to the city, said the French capital has developed “an urban policy based on well-being.”
