One of the arguments the Class Is and AAR put up any time anyone talks about freight rail electrification is that there's no electric locomotives designed for US/NA freight service. While on the surface this claim is true, it's also not a big deal

Absolutely deadly behavior causing another crash on Spruce Street at 5th st early this morning. This is on the busiest bike lane in Philly with over 1,500 riders who use it daily.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better.

I wish we had a culture of driving that respected rules like speed limits. Instead, we have a culture where enforcing basic useful rules about how fast you can operate a multi-ton machine is considered “unfair” or a “cash grab”.

Forced car dependency is bad and we really need to interrogate & fix it.

I believe a not insignificant number of issues would be solved if people understood that the street in front of or near their residence is not in fact some kind of special extension of their personal property specifically for automobile storage.

Next week is Week Without Driving, but internationally, it was Car-Free Day today.
I took the morning MAX to my in-district meetings, took a Biketown home, & had a blast doing it (other than biking through Lombard/Interstate).
If you always drive, try another way at least once. It's worth it.

Every time I see a person call themselves 'apolitical', my brain translates it to "my rights as a person aren't constantly up for debate and I don't care that yours are."
It’s telling that it’s mainly cis, straight, able-bodied people crying, “How dare someone lose their life over politics!” That reaction shows they’ve never had skin in the game. For them, politics is abstract. For the rest of us, politics is survival—how we navigate the world just to stay alive.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

The 4 stages of #bicycle consciousness:
1. Bikes are obstacles (outright bans)
2. Bikes are toys (OK, your kids can ride around their subdivision)
3. Bikes are exercise (paths in parks that you drive to)
4. Bikes are transportation (you can mostly get from A to B without risking death)

Inadequate bike infrastructure is a major contributor to cyclist casualties in the US, but the attitudes of US drivers are also a huge factor. They view cyclists not as fellow commuters but as obstacles that don’t belong there, and they assume anyone biking instead of driving is being a contrarian.

The Trump administration wants your kids to be run over by cars while walking to school
Boston's fed grant to improve safety at key intersections has been cancelled by USDOT because, according to the agency: "DOT's priorities presently include... preserving or increasing roadway capacity for motor vehicles... [the] project includes several elements that impede vehicle capacity & speed"
