while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Wish I could copy/paste this to our local school. The pickup line is such chaos!
To address safety issues (bc of drivers) my kids’ school recently changed the pick up process to get rid of the car pick up line entirely.
Caregivers have to park nearby & walk up to the blacktop to get their kids.
It’s calmer, safer, and bikes can still roll right up onto the blacktop.

This is a small snow plow for sidewalks
If your city plows the roads but leaves sidewalks up to property owners, your city hates pedestrians.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Since Bluesky now has over 40 million users, and since a lot of those 40 million are really interested in better cities & how we get around them, I’m resharing one of my first STARTER PACKS full of people and orgs working hard to make cities work better for everyone.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Let’s be clear. If a completely immature & unhinged maniac is allowed to do this kind of thing out of toddler-level spite when President’s DON’T EVEN HAVE THE POWER TO UNILATERALLY LEVY TARIFFS, then there simply IS NO LEGITIMATE TRADE RELATIONSHIP between the United States & Canada or any country.

On foot I make choices about a path through this mess that is least likely to get me flattened. On a bike I just pray.
This insane intersection in Providence is a pedestrian nightmare: Wickenden St. between S. Water St. & S. Main St.
Counted three drivers who didn’t yield to me as I crossed this street. Don’t get me started with the amount of time the pedestrian signal provides for crossing: 15 SECONDS OF HELL. 😭
