Oh shoot, I hadn't even gotten to the part of this *same bill* that would ban cities from "reducing the number of motor vehicle lanes when installing new bicycle lanes." bsky.app/profile/camb...

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Trump's DOJ just dropped a major antitrust case against American Express Travel.
This comes after Amex hired lobbying firm Ballard Partners — the former employers of Pam Bondi — to lobby the DOJ on "antitrust issues."
Funny how that works.

Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer
A chorus of critics insist that building on undeveloped land is the only way out of the US housing crisis. But the environmental costs of unrestrained growth are overwhelming.

This is why relying on charity to fund essential services is a truly wild policy choice.
Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.
The Chan-Zuckerbergs stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school.
Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg’s retreat from funding social issues forced the closure of a school Chan opened for disadvantaged families in Silicon Valley.

There’s still time to voice opposition to New York’s mask ban.
Criminalizing a medical device will be devastating to disabled and marginalized individuals (not to mention anyone who values their health & wants to avoid covid infection).
Mask bans don’t stop crime. They put lives in danger.

🚨 URGENT: Hochul announced a budget “agreement” that criminalizes masks, but IT’S NOT FINAL!
The budget has NOT passed, and we can still beat this. She’s hoping we’ll give up. We’re not going to. TAKE ACTION ⬇️
