The Democratic Party's approval ratings are terrible, a young Democratic politician solidly wins a primary in the country's biggest city by generating enthusiasm and high turnout, and Democratic leaders think the move is to publicly distance themselves, even denounce him, do I have that right?

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

Bold move by Texas to say that the First Amendment only applies during daylight hours.

Cursed Morsels is one of the great ones! Support if you can and you'd like to see more rad queer indie horror from a press that cares about good ethics as well as good stories.

Aside from the sieg-heil-curious ADL, this calls for partnerships w/"Foundation to Combat Antisemitism"—a project of MAGA fascist Robert Kraft—and Kalaniyot, a ferociously Zionist org. Columbia University is positioning itself at the forefront of redefining antisemitism into "opposition to fascism."

Watching nativism rapidly intensify on the right, I hope we can put aside for all time that these radical ideas are a reaction to underlying immigration trends or real conditions or anything other than the social environment that exists among co-partisans.

Scooby Doo meme where Fred removes the mask to reveal the real villain. Captioned "Something I used to love sucks now" with Fred saying, "Let's see who's behind this." In the next panel, it is revealed that the true villain was Private Equity.

I *need* that back patch, damn

God can we please not do this, for the love of fuck. Not that I'm super duper confident that we'll have access to free and fair elections in 2028, but if we do, please do not run this fucking guy.

Texas Governor’s Office Says Its Emails With Elon Musk May Be, in Part, Too “Embarrassing” to Release to the Public We asked Abbott for his and his staff’s emails with Elon Musk and Musk’s companies.

“Viewpoint diversity” is a moronic goal without a whole lot of caveats and qualifiers. A physics department hiring phlogiston theorists and an astronomy department hiring flat earthers & geocentrists would increase “viewpoint diversity” and also radically lower the quality of education.

Yeah that's a name that makes me think he hunts poor people from horseback for sport

So cool that this is true while at the same time media literacy/just regular ol' literacy is in the fucking toilet, broadly. Love an easily-dupable populace!

I don’t mean to be controversial but I do think building a robot that says it wants to bring back Hitler is more antisemitic than describing an event where many thousands of people being killed as a genocide
