โCut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,โ he said.
โThis will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.โ

Bicycle parking takes parking space away from one vehicle.
Vehicle parking takes living space from hundreds of people.
One is more controversial than the other.
Some old lady came 5 feet from running over the stroller I'm pushing both my kids in until I screamed at her to stop.
She gestured to the sun to show me that it was in her eyes.
Lady, if you can't see where you're going, do not drive your car in that direction.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationโs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnโt let this war do so.
โWalkable neighbourhoods arenโt scary, theyโre convenient.โ
โCar dependency isnโt freedom. Mobility freedom comes from Mobility Choices. #The UrbanTruth
โIf we donโt build housing to solve homelessness, we donโt really want to solve homelessness.โ
โWait, weโre afraid of walkable distances now?โ

Nope! Democrats need to stop playing games and put everyone on record. The American people deserve to know where they stand.
I support Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massieโs Iran war powers resolution.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
We had @ 150 fatbikers participate in the Big Fat Ride, setting out after the dog teams. Despite the cold, the sun was glorious and there was no wind! We had an after-party at
49th State Brewery to cap a fun ride! Past years most def had more spectators.
Reminder that Trump gutted VOA Farsi.

A caution to viewers: this is a very explicitly violent true-crime account imo of the case of the serial killer Brian Steven Smith.
It also raises important questions of justice for the victims & families of Kathleen Jo Henry, Veronica Abouchuk & Cassandra Boskofsy
