Seriously, this.

How many reporters were at the premises for that dinner? How the f–– did no press notice this — and if any journalists _did_ notice, how did this go unreported?

Just heard about a case in my city where a woman was assaulted by a man claiming to be a police officer and threatening to report her to ICE for deportation if she didn’t open her door. Luckily, family members convinced her to report it and he was caught.

Hell isn’t big enough.

Trump on ending the filibuster: "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election ... it would be impossible to lose an election."

Cars are essential in most of the U.S. They're also increasingly unaffordable

Tried to make small talk with my hairdresser today about movies & discovered they do not watch movies because they find movies “too long” and they “get bored.” Guys, phones have officially fried everyone’s brains

NYT six weeks behind its own ass
NEW: Almost six weeks in, Trump's shutdown strategy is clear: He's willing to stretch the budget, but only for political gain and retribution. For others, like the 42 million on food stamps, he has offered no relief, and sought to enact cuts Congress did not approve

What Courtney said. And progressive state AGs do important work, like building wage-theft units, and going after anti-competitive hiring practices
Here’s my my pitch for why you care about your state attorney general.

The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals.

John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.

What's especially fun about yesterday discovering my shoutout in Life After Cars, is that this evening I'm delivering a talk to @wesmars.bsky.social's class at CU Denver on my exploits in tactical urbanism, for I believe the 7th year in a row.
I had to add a slide for the first time in a few years

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Amazon enjoys an estimated $11 BILLION in state and local subsidies, largely based on expectations of job creation.

Leaked documents show Amazon is working to automate 75% of the companies operations, eliminating 600,000 workers.
