A reminder that cars aren’t a technology problem. They’re a geometry problem.
Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

I think that posts did a pivot in defining poverty as drowning vs full participation.

Aka "a good life"

Two adults each making $68K and covering two kids. It doesn't seem farfetched to say they're stretched.
just read some Substack post with a maybe quarter-baked argument that the "real" poverty line is $136,000. come on

Four airlines are profiting from Trump’s deportation machine & making millions flying deportation flights where immigrant workers are often shackled, abused, and denied basic dignity. @seiupres.bsky.social is calling it out & urging these CEOs to drop their ICE contracts. Read here: seiu.co/3XNLK0A

this is why people very far into the upper middle class should support building out a proper welfare state like @reprashida.govpeeps.us proposed the other day. you'd pay just a little for a tremendous amount of material security www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/11/20/r...
Rep. Tlaib’s Economic Dignity for All Agenda Would Bring Economic Security for Millions
The agenda would lower poverty by 42% and child poverty by two-thirds.

And much of the GOP with him.
In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data.

Elon Musk should be on trial.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

NEW: Since its inception, suburbs have paid into Dallas Area Rapid Transit to get transit service. Now, four Dallas suburbs want to leave DART. It's a redux of the late 80s and 90s - but as it expands, the revolt could tear Texas' biggest transit agency apart. www.chron.com/culture/arti...
