Ahhhh so excited to go for the first time soon

I just booked a yolo trip to go there in January for the first time! What’s your opinion on the public transit in the city? These photos are making me so excited to see the landscapes!

Image 1 is of Kevin from Home Alone film walking in front of a work van being driven. Image two is a child in front of a large pick up truck.

Home Alone could've had a very different ending if it was made more recently.

Let’s bring it home Buckeyes!!

I had not, until now! Thank you!

Chalk Riot’s proud to have signed on to the FreeDC pledge ✌️ a no-brainer. Great to see so many of DC’s lovely fellow small businesses gathered in one place for a good cause. I also look forward to checking out all the great holiday markets soon! Shop local!

Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

A very readable, deeply-informed piece by Naomi Klein that combines genocide, the Surrealists, fascism then and now -- and Mamdani.

Paris is getting a whole new Metro network. And it’s huge | CNN The Grand Paris Express will add four lines, 68 stations and 200 kilometers of track to the French capital’s 120-year-old Metro system, providing vital suburban links – just not quite in time for the ...

The DOT says it wants to make trucking safer, but some see an 'immigration raid' The Department of Transportation wants tougher rules for commercial driver's licenses after a deadly crash involving a trucker from India. Critics say it's an immigration crackdown by another name.

WMATA launches first part of updated bike parking program New bike lockers are now available outside the Foggy Bottom and Eastern Market Metrorail stations.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Basically

In learning about UHIs it’s actually so crazy that we had to get to the point of no trees, to realize “wow, maybe we should …. Plant more trees” 😵‍💫

A driver hit an elementary school student with a car, 500 ft from Tulip Grove ES in Bowie, after school. The crosswalks at the intersection are unmarked. The principal asked parents to "discuss safety precautions with [their] child" & reminded "all families to please drive slowly & carefully."

We love

Sidewalks are for chalk.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

“Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas. Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

NEW:

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

Then she died.

Omg that kitten is pocket size

Damn.

Aye I saw that, so sad. But the important distinction here is that the MA governor has not issued some statewide directive

Government sanctioned censorship of public art continues to follow the well-worn Florida to Texas path. Where is next?
