It’s odd to me how people on both left and right refuse to believe that some random nutjob can off an important person despite it happening quite often in history
Guys the government didn’t kill MLK. Plenty of elements in the government wanted him dead but they couldn’t risk it.

Tragedy in Playa Del Rey, as a 7-months-pregnant mother was killed by a driver while biking with her family. The baby was delivered by C-section but died in the NICU. The crash took place on Pershing Ave., where safety measures were removed in 2017 after NIMBY backlash. Donate here:

There’s a neighborhood bar like this a few blocks from me. COVID era permits allowed them to turn their parking lot into an outdoor seating area. NIMBY got pissed, realized the permits expired, reported them, and now it’s a bar parking lot again. Drunk driving is city policy.
These kinds of human scale, mixed-use Midwest dive bars are illegal to open and operate in most American neighborhoods.

The thing about Elon Musk's pop culture takes is that he's responsible for perhaps the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the 21st century and it's a societal failure that he's not already in the dock at Nuremberg 2.
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

This should be illegal.
Since everyone and anyone seems to be running for Governor, I’m going to throw my hat in the ring and run on a platform that makes it illegal to pave streets without fixing the street after there are tragedies like this.
All streets should be safe streets.

I was looking up a route to an appointment today when I noticed that Google maps now provides info about the kinds of bike lanes on your route. Not sure what their criteria is, but it’s an interesting way to note the failures of Chicago’s “bike grid”.

This comment was left on a video about a 6 year old who was killed by a driver; beyond the callousness it’s just the perfect example of car-brained selfishness
And the city has to pay for safe infrastructure somehow! I’d invite you to find money for that without cutting cop or fire budgets

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.
