“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.”

Let me know if you agree with him.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

A member of the Military Operations Command drops some pure logic:

"you want to worship God or the Devil, it's not our business, we can talk about that on a cup of tea, you convince me, I convince you, whatever. As for the State, it must accommodate for all to live in it"

Georgia:

Pro-Russian president Mikheil Kavelashvili, elected by the Georgian parliament (where the pro-Russian "Georgian Dream" party got the majority of the votes) took oath.

Protesters in Tbilisi showed Kavelashvili symbolic "red cards" (he used to be a soccer player).

Tbilisi, Day 31.

Amazing scenes as hundreds of thousands of people form a human “chain of unity” across Georgia today.

It is currently stretching for kilometres in the capital, connecting Tbilisi’s seven bridges.

Today marks one month since daily protests began.

Day 14 of nationwide non-stop protests in Georgia.

Thousands of public sector employees, risking their jobs, organized a massive march in defense of the constitution, declaring their loyalty to the nation, not a political party that serves Russia and oligarchs. #georgiaprotests

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
