Ten Amtrak trains canceled in Midwest - Trains Ten Amtrak trains canceled in Midwest. Weather, equipment availability cause cancellations. Northwest, Northeast services also impacted.

Every city that I know of that’s established an in-house team to deliver ‘missing middle’ small-capital projects has had huge success.

Ah well if you think about it the problem is actually that the city's leaf collection service doesn't suck 😏

Well, I am actually very mad that we spent almost a million on consultants (and like 3 goddamn years) for the CLUP. It did not need to take that much time or money...

It's a shibboleth of sorts

Fair. I mean, it's just that those of us who have been around long enough to have our brains poisoned by the perennial recurrence of this complaint know instinctively that he's talking about leaf vacuuming and didn't even realize that this is on its face a factual error

Also: just leave the leaves!

City-funded curbside leaf collection is literally a transfer of wealth from apartment/condo dwellers to wealthy large-lot single family homeowners. Is that really what we're calling leftist / socialist approach to government?!

Tim collected videos and images from across many different cities for the Alex Pretti rides this weekend. From Anchorage to Tampa and everywhere inbetween.

The data on juckins.net/amtrak_statu... is a bit of a mess but it looks like around half of all runs have been cancelled (some with replacement buses) over the last week.

Kinda seems like @amtrak.com's Michigan services are in an ongoing operational meltdown and nobody's talking about it?!

The City temporarily banned street parking citywide so that plows could clear streets and make travel safer. But since they didn't send a postcard, text, and a person to move my car, I'm going to angrily post a 67 chapter book about it to every social media site. #a2council

Timing! It's much easier to clear fresh snow than after it's gotten packed down by passers-by. And if it goes through a thaw-and-refreeze cycle before you get to it, you're gonna have a *really* bad time...

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

ACLU warns Ypsilanti Township over alleged removal of 200 from voter rolls The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan is calling for Ypsilanti Township to review voter registrations that have been canceled due to undeliverable mail and reinstate those township voters, as...

It's shocking that they're doing unlawful voter purges in Ypsilanti Township. Good work by the @acluofmichigan.bsky.social to discover what was happening and challenge it. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.

Tweet from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.
