Transit ridership in major French urban areas is now substantially higher than it was in 2015—while in the US, it's still way down. No major US urban area has higher per-capita ridership than it had a decade ago. On this metric, the US is headed in the wrong direction. www.urban.org/urban-wire/t...

To media, politicians and everyone else, your semi-regular reminder.
They don’t have to hack voting computers, or corrupt the count, or ballot-stuff, to “steal an election.”
Voter suppression is cheating.
And so is gerrymandering.
Stop normalizing them when you insist an election was “fair.”

Republicans just passed a law that will take health insurance away from millions of Americans, make health care unaffordable and inaccessible for millions more, and take food away from hungry kids.
All so they can pass a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.

I'm an artist entrepreneur so I'm busy 24/7; however, I take nine hours for sleep & personal care each day. I focus a large amount on creative activities that often include friends & family. Currently, I am interviewing for a romantic partner. This requires many cuddles & kisses 😘.
