So right, it's important to remember that the only trees that matter are the ones that block apartments from being built with views of Lake Washington

I spent a few hours on Saturday cutting ivy trunks off mature trees in a green belt, so I think it's safe to say that I'm more of a tree person than any of the tree pac people.

Would you say that this hyperbolic language below doesn't help anything or is this different because it's painting developers as evil?

Why has the pro-tree/pro-environmental energy been completely absent from the now 6 year discussion about how we might slightly reorient a waterfront park away from cars?

Ok, cool, so follow on question, why are you arguing with urbanists that want buses to parks instead of arguing with Coexist LWB who have fought tooth and nail to maintain an arterial through a park?

Hey man, quick question, you said: "I don't understand this general expectation for needing motor vehicles for getting people to the beach." Why aren't you proposing removing parking lots?

Looking around the city, it's impressive the degree to which we're using the amorphous concept of history as an excuse to not take action on a whole breadth of immediate issues.

If parking illegally is an enforcement problem but SPD's PEO won't enforce the law, what's really the enforcement problem?

The cause for the lights not working was copper theft, but the cause for the two year replacement was that WSDOT and the city have maintenance agreements that neither of them understands and that led to both agencies refusing to fix this without political action.

This is a perfect Tree Action Guy tweet because just like with the tree stuff, it completely ignores any problems with the status quo and refuses to engage with the actual question of how to improve things.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.

Every Senator should be on the recordβ€”the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.

No war with Iran.

In another, she asked, β€œHow many more people have to die before meaningful action is taken to prevent tragedy?”

It's also just best practice to focus on preventing crashes. Here's NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy talking about the need for changes after tragedy.

With the tiniest bit of knowledge it's easy to see why safe streets advocacy needs to protest crashes.

What typically gets press coverage is when there’s a cyclist or pedestrian involved, and so there’s this general association of β€œoh, hey, the bikes or pedestrians must be the problem” when cars are f*#%ing crashing into everything all the time.

Capitol Hill offers many different ways to die, this is an unfortunate but unusual one.  What justice are they requesting?

I can’t help but giggle and stain myself just a bit when I see one of these guys laying on the road. Stay off of the road. You have zero business on them! Hope you learned a lesson

So many enraged little speed bumps, so little time. Accidents happen. Get over it. Not EVERYTHING has to become a "cause" that encourages smooth brains to block roadways and inconvenience other peoples' lives.

If you knew Lillian please don't read these, but if you are an advocate afraid that you'll say the wrong thing. You should read these and understand that the bar is in hell.
