Hi folks. Just to be clear, a date has not yet been announced for the next No Kings. If a PAC you’ve never heard of asks for donations to “organize” it, please block and report them

An immigrant works a dangerous job to protect Americans. It puts him in medical debt. Now he also has to worry about being deported by ICE when he goes to work or takes his kid to a soccer tournament.

There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

Yup. And if you spent 21/22 whining about the cost of your burrito taxi or whatever you should understand that you were an accomplice to this effort and that effort worked - first in prompted policy changes that slowed the labor market, then in defeating Biden/Harris bsky.app/profile/fogg...
Ultimately for these people, Biden's unforgivable sin was presiding over the tightest labor market in memory where bosses could not pointlessly force employees to RTO or sexually harass/extort favors from female employees without consequences.

So expand the lanes! The problem is bikes and pedestrians fighting over like 12% of street space when the vast majority is dedicated to cars
Sure there is.
If you don't limit e-bikes, they will wreak havoc on bike-only lanes.

As I never tire of reminding people, the two plausible alternatives to automated traffic enforcement are that we either rely on the discretion of individual police officers or we simply don't enforce traffic laws at all. We have been trying both alternatives now and they are failing us.
See also: debates about speed cameras.
There's a problematic reflex among some progressive reformers to move from "conventional criminal legal responses are bad" to something too close to "accountability in general is bad."
I think (as Jamelle argues here) it's rooted in not thinking abt victims.
