The day Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested The former prince spent the day at a police station in Norfolk, before being released under investigation.

Good news but worth noting that he was arrested not for his sex crimes but for leaking confidential information - a MUCH more serious offence in the eyes of the Establishment 🤔😬??!!!

New bill needlessly rewrites ebike laws, LA ignores Winter Bike to Work, and welcome to the Donald J. Trump NP & bike path - BikinginLA No bias here. A new state Assembly bill would require owners of Class 2 and Class 3 ebikes to register their ebikes with the California DMV.

It is precisely thudding if asinine, unenforceable legislation which brings the law into disrepute and encourages people to treat the law as an irritating irrelevance…

The Woman Alex Pretti Was Killed Trying to Defend Is an EMT. Federal Agents Stopped Her From Giving First Aid. One of the women Alex Pretti was killed trying to defend is an EMT. Federal agents stopped her from giving him first aid.

This was murder, pure and simple. The subsequent actions of the agents exacerbated it if that is possible. Both they and those who gave the orders and told them they were immune from accountability need to be arrested, tried, convicted and made immune from pardons.

TikTok is tracking you, even if you don't use the app. Here's how to stop it TikTok is growing its data harvesting empire, and avoiding the app won’t protect you – but some easy steps can keep you safe.

Remember how we were told TikTok had to be sold to an American company because it compromised your privacy? Well under ownership by Trump's lackeys it's gotten even worse! "Experts tell the BBC this is unusually invasive.'

It took a lot of time, effort and money from many people to get these lanes built. I am sure. It takes very little time for some fool to destroy them. There should be an equally complex process of reviews, appeals etc. to destroy as there is to build.

This demon was driving 70 mph on a residential street, murders a couple and their babies standing in front of the library, transfers all her money to not pay any damages to the family on the 4 she murdered and then a judge lets her off with NO PUNISHMENT because she’s filthy rich. This is sickening.

She was doing 70 in a residential area.

This is why we need mandatory electronic speed limiters in cars.

And yes, it should be much easier for people who endanger others to lose their license.

If pulling out protected bike lanes is now MAGA Trumpist, does that mean progressive city councils that claim to oppose Trump have to stop pulling out protected bike lanes?

Asking for a whole bunch of people on bikes in blue/Democratically-governed cities who don't want to be killed by drivers.

Labour MPs urge Government not to appeal ruling Palestine Action ban is unlawful The ruling, made on Friday, could have implications for thousands of people arrested for supporting the group at protests across the country.

This ban was an appalling abuse of anti-terrorism powers by Starmer. Based on their actions, the State of Israel is more deserving of the “Terrorism” label than Palestine Action.

New Jersey and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad e-bike law New legislation in the Garden State reclassifies e-bikes as vehicles, requiring riders to obtain a license, registration and insurance

New Jersey's E-Bike law is a perfect example of lazy, thoughtless political action which cannot be enforced. Politicians need to be reminded to do the hard work of legislation not just the easy bit (voting).
