If you're old enough, as I am, you can remember how filthy the air was in this country before this took effect. That's what they want to return to, so they can have more money. That's it.

MIller’s enthusiasm for maximum cruelty and racism are hurting Trump. But since it helped him on the way to/back to power (and because Trump has always been deeply racist), it’ll be hard for Trump to be persuaded to dump him.

But…dare to dream.

Here's the thing, Greg β€” free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

They do not mince their words. I'm outraged but encouraged by people power. Community and people power will get us through this quagmire.

Masked federal agents in Minnesota just shot and killed another person.

We must put a stop to Trump’s ICE. Now.

Stop the funding, stop the occupations, stop the killings.

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

I will never get over the fact that the Republican Party chose as its standard-bearer, and this country elected as its President, quite possibly the worst human being on the planet.

17 months after taking over a program w the most losses in CFB… Indiana is the National champs. Unbelievable. Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers finish 16-0 lead by a Miami kid in Fernando Mendoza. One of the greatest sports stories ever.

Shoup on Parking Reforms Taking Hold Across the U.S. Cities across the country are adopting new ways of valuing urban real estate and reinvesting in local communities.

From 2023.
β€œSomeone might look at [the price] and decide to take the bus to save a $5 parking fee.” In that sense, Hank Willson added, demand-based pricing functions similarly to congestion pricing, which imposes fees on drivers who enter densely congested areas.

This is welcome news. But it’s sometimes still tough to grapple with the fact that 1/3 of the country is so far gone.

I’m in Waikiki - a ton of people are on e-bikes, almost exclusively on the sidewalk because the bike infrastructure is nonexistent. If you don’t want e-bikes conflicting with pedestrians, take space away from cars. I will hear no more complaints about this.

$171 billion was allocated to ICE this fiscal year. Billion. $45 billion for detention, which is sick and perverse.

But we don't have money for healthcare and schools.

This is on par with ~ the 14th largest military spending in the world. (between Ukraine and Israel per KEXP)
