Because the State Senate hasn’t acted, we are just days away from devastating cuts to SEPTA.
School starts in 2 weeks and those cuts would hurt 55,000 kids – and their families – who rely on SEPTA buses and trains to get to class.
It’s time to get this done.

As Republicans at the state level in PA threaten to cut the funding for one of our nation’s most vital public transit systems, I’m currently in Copenhagen where the contrast is wild. Public transit in Copenhagen is well funded, fast, clean, and incredibly reliable.

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.

'Overpopulation' Is A Racist Trope. It's Time We Laid It To Rest
A new movie satirises the myth that climate change is a consequence of too many people. In the real world, our overpopulation obsession must be euthanised.

Your daily reminder that CCS sounds like a good idea until you learn about it.
There are more Carbon Capture and Storage lobbyists at #COP29 than even well-resourced delegations like USA or Canada
