Inspiring news this Monday: when city officials declined to celebrate a popular new bike lane, instead hosting a ribbon cutting for an underutilized parking garage, a group of Miami Beach neighbors threw their own party:

AC Transit is in the middle of a reliability crisis with only 93% of service running, a fiscal crisis with a $50M budget shortfall, and an ethics crisis with majority of board covering up independently confirmed harassment of another board member And directors aren't even showing up to meetings 😲

The worst part of Bonta caving on the Paramount merger is that it's a big flashing signal to every other company that there is no antitrust enforcement in America and you can bully your way into getting whatever you want. It's a monumentally bad decision.

Joel Young is a political enemy of Director Syed - as board president he led an attempted censure against her months before the video above. Placing the Director into a double headlock from behind expressed dominance, not support.

Every few months a driver makes their way onto my campus, asks me for an escort out, then acts totally stuck when I say to leave the same way they entered. Driving destroys spatial awareness and apparently common sense too.

If you believe Talarico is worth supporting despite his comments on trans rights, by all means make your case. All of the posts telling trans people that they are naïve, unserious, unaware of political realities, or otherwise condescending to them and dismissing them? They’re not helping that case.

worth tying this into the political economy of the slave south as well. from roughly the 1820s onwards, slavery became enormously lucrative in ways that had never been seen before. slave traders became millionaires. large planters had tremendous purchasing power. just huge amounts of wealth.
