Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community.
1. GTFO
2. My voice is not some singular thing - bike advocacy is a small part of my makeup-you don’t like me or my position on things refer to point 1

Signed,

Trump's aggressive ICE raids met pushback this week from Syracuse’s underground railroad.

Activists, politicians and strangers collaborated to keep one Syracuse husband from the clutches of ICE.

Incredible story from Michelle Breidenbach & Vince Gasparini: www.syracuse.com/news/2025/11...
When ICE came for Jeremy, Syracuse’s underground railroad helped him escape the country
Friends and family helped a well-known Syracuse man elude detention and flee to France

I just memorized "SPLARDT" one time years ago.
@fernkhahn.com did you know that the guy who created the Queens street grid got his friend to come up with a jingle for it?

Syracuse used to celebrate October 1 as the anniversary of Jerry Henry's rescue from slave catchers. It feels more relevant this year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_R...

As someone else said, if you are having a notionally left-friendly YIMBY conference in DC and nobody from Greater Greater Washington is present, then you aren’t even interested in faking it

The Orange Lot bus is a bad scene. Troopers have to move cones and stop cars every time a bus wants to get through.

GPS shows three buses are going between the State Fair and the mall, and two to the downtown hub. Could be worse but could be a lot better.

Important in itself, especially for those of us living in New York. But it’s more broadly important as a demonstration of the power of noncompliance as a response to unlawful commands.

I knew her. This happened in my town and I knew her. I was half an hour up the road.
I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

It’s not a weird turn, it’s a logical response to police failing over & over again to be effective & reliable partners on traffic safety initiatives. At some point advocates had to stop wasting time trying to shift the police culture & instead focus elsewhere.
🚨 In @theatlantic.com today, I argue the safe streets movement has taken a weird turn. Under the banner Vision Zero, not only is there just one acceptable solution—costly road redesign—but reformers now dismiss the importance of enforcement. Expedient, but deadly.

Transit is subject to similar perception paradoxes as bicycling
The most remarkable part about the congestion pricing fight has been the characterization of the subways and railroads as the exclusive domain of the liberal wealthy Manhattan/brownstone bourgeoisie, but are also too unsafe to ride, but are also too crowded to hold more people.

(i.e.: Anyone involved with CHW's "Save The Train" efforts who NIMBYs housing near the line needs to sit in the corner and think very hard about what they've done wrong.)

Shouldn't the Poughkeepsie super-express just be integrated scheduling and tickets with Empire Service trains?

a non trivial number of the founders were themselves involve in elaborate land speculating schemes that were little better than fraud
I find it profoundly funny that people are pretending that "Elaborate schemes of fraud involving fake securities attached to a non-existent asset" were invented in 2021 and that the Founding Fathers of America wouldn't instantly grasp them with "Oh, it be like the South Sea Company scheme!"
