Why do people in power have to be so cruel in order to stay in power?

Have we all settled on the wrong life success metrics for too long?

Vancouver city councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social has introduced a new Council motion that would get rid of right turns on red lights in the city. Via @dailyhivevancouver.bsky.social

Unquestionably the smart, evidence-based move for EVERYONE’s safety, but especially for people walking & on bikes.

I read somewhere that the 2020 US Census data was not fully released because of not only COVID but also wrongdoings of the Trump administration.

This is dereliction of duty, is it not?

Millions of professionals depend on official periodic releases of data.

Completely agree!! 💯%

And the comments on Edith’s post here is EXACTLY WHY highly qualified female candidates should rise and win so that more people will trust them to be in the most powerful political roles.

The world NEEDS it to happen.
We are tired of losing; it’s why women must run, run and run again.

i know the sexy and fun thing to do is say you'll punch anyone you see wearing google glasses but even if it's more boring i'd rather people talk more broadly about how to set meaningful expectations of privacy e.g. japan's regulations requiring cell phones make a loud snap when taking a photo

This is an interesting take.

My interpretation of “War on cars” has always been one of rebalancing by means of tipping the effort+funding scale towards other transportation modalities, but the way N.American cities have been designed since the 1920s makes it impossible to completely eliminate cars.
Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers.

If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers.

INCLUDING DRIVERS.

The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

Whether it was a central speaking point or just a sound bite taken out of context, the fact that Sean Duffy said it out loud is an indication that he - along with every cabinet member of the Trump Admin. - use distractions as a cover-up for their inability to govern (at all). THEY’RE UNFIT TO LEAD!

Texas Democrats just did something historic under the leadership of new state party chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social. We have filed a candidate in EVERY 2026 race.

U.S. Senate: 1 of 1
U.S. House: 38 of 38
State Senate: 15 of 15
State House: 150 of 150
State Board of Education: 8 of 8
We Did It, Texas Dems, We Did It
Candidates in every legislative, statewide, and federal race. Now it’s time to build power where it counts.

What was this event even about? I heard crazy voice talking about a mother’s breast and then pitting out during half a pull-up and you’ve got Duffy saying this. Was it about breast-feeding and working out in airports?
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

"God-given breast milk!"

What about "God-given family leave so mothers can actually take time away from work to feed and bond with their babies with pay?"
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."
