I think the media understands the difference between e-bikes and illegal e-motos. They are intentionally conflating the difference between legal e-bikes and illegal e-motos to stoke fear and get clicks.

It's could destroy the e-bike revolution if we don't find a way to stop it.

A California legislator wants to require a license plate to, get this, ride an e-bike.

Not only does this bill fail to keep cyclists safe (the cars are the problem, not the bikes!) but it incentivizes more dangerous and polluting modes of transit.

Oppose the bill here:

Unions aren’t just a response to bad bosses, they’re a tool in our toolkit against fascism. Imagine if hotel staff had the power and protections to shut down hotels during raids!
I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.

They're afraid.

One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”
