![the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads:
* PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES
* YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE
* Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS"
* "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Civil Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the concrete and asphalt we built for them
(This is REAL Civil Infrastructure, done by REAL Civil Engineers):

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.

People think "log off" is an insult. Being told to log off is a kindness. The insult would be being told to "stay logged on no matter what, don't stop scrolling."

🚨 BREAKING | Labour has **banned** schools from teaching children about transgender identities.
New guidance from Bridget Philipson BANS materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender" and orders teachers to teach "laws about biological sex".
It's Section 28 again.

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

It's not every day the car industry makes this so transparent, but, put a fine point on it:
The US government is controlled by carmakers, who understand with existential clarity that walkable housing + transit threatens their profits.
And so, Federal government transfers money from homes, to cars.

House GOP released proposed appropriations for FY 2026 for housing & transportation, proposing:
—$2 b increase in highway funds—but a $1.8 b cut in transit spending, essentially eliminating new grants for transit lines.
—$900 m decrease in housing funds, including no new funds for the HOME program.
