I love zines that are just compilations of little known primary sources because where else am I going to find out that the Young Lords lifted an X-Ray from the hospital system and then tested 2.3x as many people for tuberculosis in 3 days as the hospital would have?

Here's the APTA data on ridership by mode: note that wealthier households are much more likely to use the train, and poorer households more likely to use the bus.
This isn't some emergent preference, it's the impact of what modes (or types) of transit serve which areas

I don't know how it went for y'all in the BLM uprising in 2020 but my city threw the fuck down on highways. you couldn't go anywhere fast for a while back in summer 2020. Highways, often built explicitly to segregate cities and facilitate fast suburban travel, turned into weapons of urban protest.

Couple of things from this:
1) I assume that's a bit of a joke
2) I have no idea how to think about whether $1 was a fair price for a whistle in 1977

What are city committees and why should YOU be on one?
Many cities maintain an array of committees on different topics - from (A)nimal Advisory to (Z)oning Board of Adjustment. Most are low commitment, low stress, but they offer you insight and impact on YOUR government.
