New billboard in town 👀
Billboard reads: "There will never be a bell loud enough, a helmet strong enough, or clothing bright enough to make up for poor infrastructure. Join us in fighting for safer streets. Vision Zero Vancouver and Rovelo Creative." Beside the text, a picture of a child riding a bike in a painted bike lane.

Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

(via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)
"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

I’m in England, in a field of Barley. Today, I’m going to collect wild yeast under that tree back there, and I’m going to show how to feed and grow it until it’s ready to bake with. We are going to start at the very beginning, and end at the end.

Governor Dunleavy's Education Agenda: A Constitutional Crisis in Alaska

Governor Mike Dunleavy has launched a sustained and strategic assault on Alaska's public education system—an assault that not only endangers children’s futures, but also violates the Alaska State Constitution.

@thewaroncars.bsky.social In the wild! Anchorage, Alaska
The War on Cars "You'd Be Happier Biking" sticker on a traffic sign in Anchorage, Alaska. The sticker has a black background and bright yellow lettering in the dot fashion of electronic traffic signs, and most surely makes car drivers sad to not be biking.

1/3 During my training, I never saw measles, Haemophilus influenzae b, or syphilis—because effective public health strategies had nearly eliminated these threats. But what I once took for granted, those public health victories, are sliding backward

Germany had its own January 6-style attempt at a coup. It also failed. But Hitler was sent to jail.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

#akleg Man, I wouldn't have even remembered Jeremy Cubas if he hadn't filed this lawsuit. He's doing more reputational damage to himself than anyone else ever could.

Also, this is a solid reminder of the type of people Dunleavy likes to employ and surround himself with.
