"🏭Industrial heritage is an essential component of a common 🇪🇺 identity." That's where Germany, France, Italy, populists on the left and right find common ground: ensuring there's more of that heritage by clinging on to combustion cars, as long as they're made in the history museum that is Europe.

They're called sexual predators for a reason. Men! Talk to your friends. Talk to your sons and brothers. Ask them if they understand consent. Hold accountable their sexism. Show some backbone. Stop being cowards. Stop protecting rapists and assailants and harassers among you. They're the bad guys.

I find it interesting that both of the baseball players Donald Trump has advocated for and/or honored this year – Roger Clemens and Pete Rose – were involved in the exploitation of girls who were no older than 15 at the time. What a weird coincidence.

All the J6ers are out. And their leader is in the White House because some suburbanites in Pennsylvania and Michigan were angry about inflation and Biden didn't have the stones to throw a crook in jail. And now he has a pedo-filled Gestapo that's allowed to murder people in the street. Yay

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

Sometimes the WAR ON WALKING results in no sidewalks at all. Sometimes they put “something” in — but does that really make things walkable for anyone except those without any other choices? The #WARonWALKING takes many forms, but it’s always about making things comfortable for vehicles, not people.

Image of a wide concrete overpass with a huge truck travelling dangerously close to a thin, uncomfortable looking concrete “sidewalk.” The text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars. They’ve been waging a war on walking for a century.” Tagline at the bottom says the Urban Truth Collective. #UrbanTruth #WarOnCars
