Metro does LOVE tracking folks.

I don’t think any of them have apologized for pushing the license plate readers after trump was re-elected.

They‘re saying if they go fare free then *those* sorts of people, ones that may not “respect” the bus, ones that may be “too loud” or “take up too much space” would use the bus more.

I’d love to hear them waffle out an answer if someone asks them what would make them feel safe, because most of them wouldn't be able to give a coherent response and the rest wouldn’t give an honest one.

Bon Jovi’s bar is currently listed at $130 million, so if anything kid rock’s appraisal is probably a little low.

About 25% of military families are food insecure, and these ghouls cut snap.

They moved down the street from the very people they're making hungry.

whether you’re sitting or standing, if you’re under that pavilion you’re still getting splashed.

Because someone in the TN legislature told someone one time they could do it and everyone just believed they would, and no one thought to either check or actually question if the state would want the headache of running a city full of drunk tourists from michigan.

"Oh but he's in deep blue NYC! It's easy for him to defend trans folks!"

Andy Beshear has been doing it for years now and got re-elected in Mich McConnell's Kentucky.

This is the bare minimum requirement going forward. You don't get my vote if you don't defend my family member's right to exist.

She’s the one place that not only tells you that yes, all these “lone wolves” are in fact connected, she also tells you exactly how they are in a captivating narrative.

People: No one says "fuck the fire department"!

Newsom: Fuck the fire department.

I liked it so much I got it on a shirt.

Also helps it's a kick ass design.

sorry, I assumed this was for the whole of Bellevue road.

Something to watch out for: on beech bend drive ndot put a bunch of flex posts right in front of people’s mailboxes. USPS wouldn’t deliver to them until ndot removed the posts, so ndot removed ALL the flex posts.

Did you hear about this? A major bike lane project and I met only half the people on Bellevue road were notified.

If you want civic engagement then you need to facilitate civic pride.

A decent flag can do that. Look at how many folks have Chicago and DC flag tattoos.

Beech bend got moved over in the last redistricting.

Hell yes, I'll sign.

I'm already fighting with my council member for getting the bollards removed from the bike lane in front of my house on beech bend.

Old Harding is the reason my kid gets upset that we can't bike to school, too.

It's the whole street.

I've seen middle schoolers nearly fall into the creek near the Colice Jeanne intersection on their way to school.

We've got to start approaching social media the way our forebears approached newspapers. Every org needs to maintain their own outlet. Modern federated social media platforms make this much easier than even 5 years ago.
