If you're cold, they're cold.
Bring them inside. 🔥

This is what should happen if you honk at a pedestrian in a crosswalk or creep forward while they're crossing

Cars ruin society

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

If you go two and a half weeks without using your car, why do you have a car?

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

At that point we can hand over the 1st generation of ION LRV's to the Waterloo Central Railway as heritage units, and they can run up to Elmira on brand new tracks.

A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true:

There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

As a pedestrian, I love Montreal's "No Right Turn On Red," that many major streets have "No left turn: between 6am-10pm, and pedestrian priority at many traffic lights.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

it is so important to elect leaders who have more than likely played spider man 2

This family's blood is on the hands of the LA City Council and former Mayor Eric Garcetti.

There's just no other way to put it.

Most people don't realize the truly staggering rate of improvement of renewable technologies - the pace has been *insane* and costs have fallen through the floor.

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.

Lewis on the standard of review. It should be the deferential. Suggests that Gov't has backed off stricter standard raised in their factum, noted Huscroft is very familiar with this.

It’s the big day! The appeal hearing @cycletoronto.bsky.social’s successful Bill 212 case is being heard at Ontario’s Court of Appeal. Time permitting I’ll try and live post the proceedings, like I did for the Ottawa convey injunctions back when #lawtwitter was a thing.

Anti-Apartheid Movement (London), Cricket Poster, n.d. [early 1960s] If you could see their national sport, you might be less keen to see their cricket. Black & white image of Apartheid South African policeman brutally beating protesters with a baton Anti-Apartheid Movement, 80 Charlotte Street, London W1

Trump's America feels more and more like Apartheid South Africa every day. I remember the sense of fear that was everywhere when I was growing up there.

VOLITION [Easy: Success] - Are you positive that what you're doing here is proper police conduct? You can still leave and do *nothing*.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:

‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

A right sized intersection

A cross walk that is 1/2 as narrow as the engineers built it.

Snowfall is going to put traffic engineers out of a job. Just replace the snow with sidewalk level concrete and tada you’re done

Only bike people should be in charge of municipal bike lane maintenance. Similar to Oulu Finland that requires their maintenance workers to ride the infrastructure they plow a minimum number of times per week.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. — Frederick Douglass

The director of the Minneapolis Emergency Management Department.

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is.

"That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission
