Quick reminder:
As awesome of a display of civil involvement that MARCHING and PROTESTING is …
A small number of additional people VOTING would have prevented all of this entirely. It would have taken a tiny fraction of the number of people marching to have voted and stopped all of this.

Updated Math:
If only 1 out of every 11 registered voters in North Carolina who stayed home had voted for Harris …
Along with 1 out of every 17 registered voters who stayed home in Georgia …
And 1 out of every 17 registered voters who stayed home in Pennsylvania …
Harris would have won.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is booed by protesters as he announces Trump is cutting off funding for high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Instead of dealing with all the planes crashing everywhere, the former “Real World” star is abandoning investments in US infrastructure.

BREAKING: I’m hearing the great Donald Shoup has passed away.
Few urbanists can really be called game-changers, but Shoup powerfully changed how we see parking rules and their huge affect on cities.
The recent revolution in parking standards was inspired by his unique work.
Thank you Donald. #RIP

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.
