In 2021, I made a slideshow based on 50+ incidents of police misconduct toward journalists. It covered all California over a 12 month period. The legislature responded with new laws to protect press.

I just made a new one. It's bigger. It's worse. And it's just one week in Los Angeles.

Well done, @jay.bsky.team and team!
And for us initial beta testers… might there be a special group in the works? Recreating that magic is something every beta tester group wants. Just ask us Clubhouse beta folks

New study of e-bike rebates finds that the average recipient reduced their CO₂ emissions by 12-44 kg/month. That's roughly equivalent to 30-110 miles/month of driving.

Not too shabby!

Okay, military families sometimes have to choose between food, housing, and more.

That pisses me off.

Tomorrow, I'll announce something big with Blue Star Families https://bluestarfam.org/, complementing work with the Bob Woodruff Foundation https://bobwoodrufffoundation.org/ and GotYour6.
