Amidst the chaos there is destruction here at home How a battery plant in north St. Louis demonstrates how deeply broken the Republican Congress has become

Truman famously called the 80th Congress the “Do-Nothing Congress” and the term stuck. Today we face something worse. I call it the “Republican Doormat Congress.” They’re nothing but a place where Donald Trump and his cronies to wipe their feet and go on with their business. We deserve better.

every trans suicide is a murder

every trans murder is a policy consequence

and the bodies keep piling up as the elected officials who today tell us they care about us — ALL of them. — still label the hate against us as a “distraction”

sorry, the funeral i went to last week was not a distraction

The AMA has done the math showing that the cost to operate an automobile can approach $10,000 PER YEAR!

For that kind of money you could buy a new Urban Arrow electric cargo bike, ride it for a year, toss it in a dumpster, buy another, and you'd till be ahead.

There is another way. #cargobikelife
