Front loader cargo bikes aren’t just for babies/toddlers.

I love the stability of our @bunchbike.com (trike) and the kids (7 & 9yo) love being able to sit side by side and read/play/share.

Today they were reading from a joke book & giggling on the ride home with a friend.

This is a vile invitation for white nationalists and anti-Semites to infiltrate the U.S. military amid a surge in hate fueled by the Trump admin. Every former military officer and leader should lobby for an immediate reversal of this dangerous decision.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

As mammals, we are what biologists call “social animals“. We have an instinct for empathy. It makes us feel for each other.
It spills over to our kin—other animals. We are horrified (psychopaths excepted) by cruelty and suffering.
So we hide slaughterhouses.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Tierra Walker died because she could not get an abortion in Texas to treat her severe preeclampsia.

This is what Republicans have wrought with their anti-abortion crusade.

But let’s be clear: Abortion bans aren’t pro-life. They’re pro-control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN3oLwO0OEE

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water.

AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects.

So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends.

Priorities.

It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s Super-Kipekee! Her bright blue 'cape' is as practical as it is stylish: Newly orphaned calves arrive cold, traumatised, and desperately missing their mothers' warmth. A soft blanket becomes their security – physical comfort that says "you're safe, you're not alone."

Lessons and hope from history. 👇
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Trump's DOT — which is stacked with corporate insiders — is gutting safety rules at Big Business' behest.

Deregulation is another form of trickle-down economics, where the financial gains go to the top, and nothing trickles down except risks and losses.
How Trump’s Transportation Department Is Loosening Safety Rules Meant to Protect the Public
ProPublica has identified dozens of instances in which the Trump administration’s DOT has moved to cut, soften or delay

This is Bear. He arrived at the shelter limping in pain. He had a torn CCL and needed surgery to repair it. Thanks to your recent support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover his $5,100 knee surgery. We're thrilled to report he's recovering beautifully and has found a forever home ❤️‍🩹

Organized people can beat organized money, but only when we come together. If you're able to give, even just $10, it would mean the world to me. With your help, we can win this thing and put the law on the side of working people:

My Transition Co-chair Lina Khan and First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan joined Starbucks workers on the picket line today because making NYC affordable means an end to unfair labor practices and a living wage for our workers. We are their partners in the fight to live in this city with dignity.

This marked the moment Chamboi met his SWT family - and took his first helicopter flight. We rescued this tiny newborn after he was found completely alone at the height of a drought. That was back in 2023. Despite his tough start to life, Chamboi is now thriving: swt.bio/chamboi

Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them.

Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes.

Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

I’m honored to be 1 of just 7 non-incumbent House candidates in America endorsed by PDA. They back fighters, not folders.

I’m the only real progressive in this race to take on Boebert – and I’m running for working families, not the political establishment.
