✅ Raised crosswalks function as speed tables that physically compel drivers to slow down.

✅ This places pedestrians higher in the driver’s field of vision, while signaling a pedestrian-priority zone.

✅ They create a seamless, barrier-free path for all users by maintaining a level surface.
There's a new raised crosswalk in town

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. 
 
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
 
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

Restore Customs and the Secret Service to the Treasury.

Restore TSA and the Coast Guard to the Dept. of Transportation.

Restore FEMA to its original independent status - hell, make it a whole Department, we're going to need it.

Restore all the small random agencies to Justice.

Be done with it.
shutdowns aren't generally a negotiating strategy—people don't usually get more than they otherwise would have out of a shutdown.

but in this case I think Ds are hearing from the base that they'd rather the thing just be defunded.

This is the correct stance and everything else is useless fluttering
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

I’m tired of the ignorance of voters saying “idk what the big deal is about requiring id to vote”🤦🏽‍♀️ ppl take a civics class & understand the 24th Amendment makes poll taxes ILLEGAL! Ah yes that word illegal. You can’t make ppl PAY for a document to vote… it violates the constitution, so no SAVE Act!

Okay look I'm glad they're ditching Flock but if the "city's network of surveillance cameras" can still be subpoenaed by out of state law enforcement for things like "did a woman come here to get an abortion from our state" then we shouldn't have them at all, period.
NEW: Denver appears to be breaking ties with Flock, asking other companies to come run the city's network of surveillance cameras

Saying the Epstein files are proof of a secret Jewish cabal controlling the world, instead of simply proof Epstein and his cohort were horrible, is antisemetic and shitty. Also don't engage with the larger truths those files are revealing about society and power. Leave Jewish people out of this.
You really don’t need to be antisemetic about Epstein.
He’s evil because he’s evil. Not because he’s Jewish.

I've been saying since early 2025 that people were and are in motion... Some people have insisted that 'no one is doing anything' and they are wrong.
Overall, we have tallied 4x more protests through Jan 31, 2026 than we had through Jan 31, 2018

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that

Can't believe that **wearing a mask to avoid illness** was so successfully vilified by the right that even people on the supposed far left refuse to believe that masking could be anything but performative.

i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

Because the Department of Justice appears to have removed the .zip archives for the Epstein files, @ddosecrets.org is now the best place to get all of the data in bulk.
