At exactly 0 times in my entire adult life have Democrats in Congress done what's actually necessary to hold Republicans accountable. I'm hoping this streak will be broken starting in January. But it's easy to see why Republicans think they can just keep getting away with it.

And we don't need perfect men. To aim for perfection would make things worse. We just need honest men. Men who can admit mistakes and correct them. Men willing to stand for something.

"I Love Rock & Roll" was actually the B-side for Joan Jett's first solo single, "You Don't Own Me," in 1979, and it's still her go-to encore 47 years later. It was re-released with the Blackhearts in 1981 as the first single off their first album, so I'm not sure this quite counts.

Here’s what we really need to focus a lot more discussion on — you don’t need to hate cars in order to want people to have the CHOICE to walk, bike and take public transit in your city. Better cities provide more choices, and work better for EVERYONE. Bad cities offer only dependency. #CarDependency

There's a common type of victim blaming where people like to lecture cyclists about how they need to be hyper aware and on alert, but the reality is that cyclists are *already* hyper aware. We're always on alert because unsafe infrastructure makes it necessary.
