On my personal authority as the Chairman of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, I have determined to defy the Governor’s order that our colors be at half staff through Sunday on behalf of Charlie J Kirk.

A great thing about ebikes is that they turn non-cyclists into cyclists.
I think people have yet to wake up to just how amazing e-bikes are. I commute about 20 miles a day, using about 10 cents of electricity. (Mostly on safe trails.)
Every time I ride my brain is ecstatic. I get a workout, but don’t need to shower when I get to work.

The truth is, biking is dangerous to pretty much all of our most oppressive political systems. So to suppress it, we make biking artificially dangerous to riders — we don't build the bike paths, we spread lies about how much they'll cost us, we stigmatize this basic, democratic form of movement.

They're going to kill Libby and all your other library book reading apps, programs funded by Congress which the administration (and certainly not Elon or his teen Nazi psychopath goons) has no power to shut down.

Maybe a day to call all your reps again and to demand action

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s Day One Executive Order on ‘Male and Female’
The White House strikes out at gender ideology and pronouns. Also: ends housing of biological men in women’s prisons; self-ID on passports; and more.

Bottom line: This analysis confirms for me that Bluesky is a more reliable platform for seeing the content you want, especially on climate topics. Its lack of algorithm means that engagement here depends on YOU!

What’s it been like for you on these platforms? Does ⬆️ track with your experience?

A technical deep-dive, since people have been asking me for my thoughts. I'll expand a bit on some of the key points here in a thread. 🧵

Just gross
A day after we released the new Indivisible guide advising constituent groups help Dem governors find their spines and fight back, Democratic Colorado Gov Jared Polis embraces RFK for HHS Sec. Stay tuned for backlash.

Got a prototype with #waku and #atproto OAuth working, mostly just stolen from the statusphere app. Not sure RSC and the atproto agent make a ton of sense together, but should be fun to mess around with for a while at least

There’s one thing that kills more people *every year* than all covid deaths since the beginning of the pandemic, and it’s not on this list.

It’s air pollution from fossil fuels.
I have now watched the RFK Jr. video and here is a list of some of the things he says he'll ban if Trump is elected:

Mountain Dew
Crest toothpaste
Children's Tylenol
Welch's Fruit Snacks
Grape juice
Vaseline
Children's sunscreen
Mayonnaise
Gatorade

Donald Trump’s closing argument, by ad spend, is that trans people are bad and he will remove them from public life

this is what he thinks will win him the election

tell him to go fuck himself - and be ready to protect your trans friends and neighbors
Trump Goes All In on Anti-Trans
It’s not clear if the ads will help Trump, hurt Harris—or just scapegoat trans people.

The best thing about mail in ballots in the time it gives you to fill everything out. Grab a beverage, crack open a laptop, and work through the list. No more crib sheets trying to remember the details for downballot stuff
