if you want some immediate hot takes post minneapolis election, check out Mill City Hall's latest ep!
New podcast episode! Recorded the day after the election, a relatively quick set of immediate reactions and questions: millcityhall.com/episodes/202... - as I say in the episode, day-after analysis should be treated suspiciously. But we gotta start somewhere.

i have no influence or presence in the UK but shame on @cyclinguk.bsky.social for excluding trans women from the 100 women in cycling. thanks for setting back our sport, our lifestyle, our transportation, our advocacy back a billion years. barf. road.cc/content/news...
Several winners of Cycling UK 100 Women in Cycling prize decline award due to exclusion of trans women

i grew up on food stamps (SNAP) when it looked like monopoly money, when you couldnt buy imported foods with it, and when my single mom was making minimum wage in the 90s. because of it, we never went hungry.
