We should require speed limiters in all new cars that stop drivers from going more than 10 mph over the limit.

On the one hand, AOC is really good at this, on the other hand - he sure makes this easy.

It's a lot more. There are a lot of issues with incentives as-is. 1). Enforcement via tickets is so lax it's hard to not see it as intentional. 2). The collection structure should make it impossible to dodge. 1/2

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Official gov accounts in deep blue places choosing to stay on Twitter despite everything that has happened over the last 10 years is deeply disappointing. Even if they don't choose to come here they should have left the Nazi site a long time ago.

The Yale slip lane is now permanently closed, with Boren handling all I-5 traffic! We had a great time meeting the SDOT crew and can't wait to see the improvements this will bring for the L8! We'll head back down later today to share some more photos after everything is fully installed.

I remember some nonsense from right wing transit boosters about the case for Trump during the 2016 cycle. It was a deeply unserious position even then. If there still are any "transit fans for Trump" types out there, I really have to question their grasp on reality.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

She believes the warning was related to a post about the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis.

Weaponizing environmental concerns to prevent people from living in our urban environments isn’t new. It’s deployed by people with resources to restrict access to high opportunity areas. It’s nimbyism. In order to reach our housing goals, our land use processes must stop enabling this behavior.

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

I'm not saying "let's start a war" but I am saying "this is how wars start." Republicans already target blue states when they have power. Democrats would be foolish to not reply in kind at this point. Then what?

Why are gas prices so high in Washington? Gas taxes are high here, but only account for about $.25/Gallon added vs the national average. I am skeptical of climate legislation adding $.50/gallon but I'll use it anyways. So we add $.75/gallon total and get things like clean air and salmon.

Maps like this are trying to bully you. It is in the nature of county-level data to suppress the distinct characteristics of urban populations. Central Seattle is no less real because it doesn't have a county to itself.

Northbound MLK Way is down to one lane near Dawson St. During rush hour, this causes a traffic jam that can be measured in miles. 0.0 miles, to be exact.

Today's events celebrating the region's newest light rail connection start at 9am, with the first train across I-90 taking off shortly after 10am. As the only light rail line to cross a floating bridge anywhere in the world, the full 2 Line is a major achievement.

When you realize that this is about a personal preference that no housing be built anywhere they can see it... and that they could give two fucks about the negative impacts of that... Everything they say and do makes more sense.
