YouTube video by Lawyer Oyer Trump pardons Honduran drug boss Juan Orlando Hernandez

In the latest mind-blowing misuse of his pardon power, Trump is pardoning Juan Orlando Hernandez—an international drug trafficker responsible for 400 *tons* of cocaine sent to the U.S.—who was also the President of Honduras. I explain why every American should be enraged. youtube.com/shorts/4tiT1...

Daniel Kligerman o• 1st Future of Cities | Intelligent Transportation | Tech Leader |... View my newsletter Today I was interviewed on NewsTalk1010 about the City of Toronto's plan to install 20mk of new bike lines by reducing the width of vehicle lanes. You can listen below, starting at 12:16. Bike lanes do reduce traffic congestion, but only once there is a contiguous network so people can get from origin to destination safely. Bits and pieces of bike lanes won't cut it. Data from other cities shows a reduction in car volume once there is a good enough network, but you need to be patient--people don't switch modes overnight. Narrower vehicle lanes result in slower driving and less safety incidents. In general, travel time is not significantly impacted, that comes more from red lights and congestion than slower average speed. There is no single solution to improving congestion. It's complex. That's where GIS and next-generation modeling and simulation come in. With this technology, we can analyze the data and figure out what combination of changes will deliver the best outcomes. That's the work we're focused on here at Esri Canada. https://Inkd.in/gyhi9FZm Party for Two - Bike Lanes - Telescopic Tuesday - FIFA Brand Police - The Jerry Ag...

So, below is EU President von der Leyen saying that the EU is "not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions."

And here is the Saudi envoy to COP30 saying exactly the same thing.

I'm telling you: climate politics are unified around the lie that we can keep fossil fuels & still deal w climate anyway.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

A screenshot of an article with headline "TRUMP’S CHICAGO OCCUPATION COULD COST FOUR TIMES MORE THAN HOUSING CITY HOMELESS" Subhead: "Sending troops to Chicago could cost $1.6 million per day, four times as much as housing the city’s homeless — plus it’s illegal, experts say." Byline: Nick Turse September 3, 2025 Below, a photo shows three U.S. Army National Guard soldiers in patrolling a Metro station.

"Housing all of Chicago’s homeless people would cost about $383k/day, [@ips-dc.org's] https://bit.ly/4lYIx87 told The Intercept, noting that the sum equaled roughly 1/4 of the expense of a deployment of 3,000 Guard members"

The biggest scandal in US public life *ought* to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.

And Americans just accept it. All this money, all this wealth, and they accept grinding, day-to-day shit.

Just tapping the sign again, I guess:

‘It’s madness’: Trump-voting fishermen oppose Revolution Wind halt The Rhode Island offshore wind project, now nearly finished, employed 80 fishermen to help with construction. With Trump's pause, they are losing vital…

SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work.

When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet.

This time, they spoke to me.👇

From: Charles Borges, Chief Data Officer, Social Security Administration To: Frank Bisignano, Commissioner, Social Security Administration Subj: Forced Resignation from Social Security Administration I am regretfully involuntarily leaving my position at the Social Security Administration (SSA). This involuntary resignation is the result of SSA's actions against me, which make my duties impossible to perform legally and ethically, have caused me serious attendant mental, physical, and emotional distress, and constitute a constructive discharge. After reporting internally to management and externally to regulators serious data security and integrity concerns impacting our citizens' most sensitive personal data, I have suffered exclusion, isolation, internal strife, and a culture of fear, creating a hostile work environment and making work conditions intolerable. I have served this Country for almost my entire adult life, first as an Active-Duty Naval Officer for over 22 years, and now as a civil servant. I was deployed during 9/11, decorated for valor in combat during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and graduated from US Naval Test Pilot School. As a civil servant, I have served as a Presidential Innovation Fellow, in the Centers for Disease Control during COVID, within OMB on the Federal CIO Data Team, and now serve as the SSA Chief Data Officer (CDO). I have served in each of these roles with honor and integrity. As the SSA CDO, I am responsible for providing oversight and Governance to ensure the safety, integrity, and security of the public's data at SSA. My position requires full visibility into data access and exchange across all SSA systems and environments. My duties include ensuring compliance with federal data privacy, security, and regulatory requirements, as well as ensuring data is handled in accordance with internal and external policies, standards, and industry best practices. SSA data is among the most sensitive data in the Federal Government, and the CDO mus…

This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history.

Committed by a government against its own citizens.

I don’t think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months.

Era-defining.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.
