I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding
If Democrats continue being who they are, 2027-2029 will be a lot of shrugging because they don't have the votes to do anything. We need the presidency. Once we do that we shrug because the Supreme Court won't let us do anything. Then we all wait for the next fascist to come to power
I hope I'm wrong but I've settled on the idea that unless the next Democratic president is a generational talent with a sharp focus and an iron will we can pack this whole thing up and go home
i almost went to chilis once ironically because of dadboner. it was closed and i never tried again.
wonder what brian kilmeade will say tomorrow
i would heart this twice if i could
When people talk about "law-breaking" among cyclists and drivers, it's important to remember that the actions are not remotely equivalent. A cyclist running a stop sign or riding on a sidewalk does not pose nearly the same risk as a driver speeding or running a stop sign.
What is “the E-Bike Effect?”
“Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.”
Fewer car trips.

Drone strikes in Haiti.
Drone strikes. In Haiti.
By private contractors.
They’re killing Haitians for private profit & the world barely pays attention.
The story of Haiti is the story America likes to tell about itself. Except there, it’s true. And the west has never stopped punishing Haiti for it
these are jokes, not toilet paper
People make a big deal about sound from wind turbines. I couldn’t hear the turbine whir in Wyoming over the deafening Interstate 80 traffic noise.
We biked through farmland doing at least triple duty in Sicily. Orchard, sheep, wind farm. Didn’t hear the turbines above the sheep & wind noise
fdr was the only one who knew how to handle this situation. we've since had opportunities and squandered them and each time it's more critical to get it right.
explaining macrohard because it's so funny, not because it's dumb as hell
This is pretty much literally Matthew 25:35-40 but the people who profess to follow the Bible seldom actually remember what it says.
Absolutely. Fucking. Perfect.
we're doing it.
we're really doing it.

Suburbs don’t have to suck, they just need better priorities. With time and vision, even the most forgettable places can become places people actually want to be.
Cities either move forward or fall behind. Transforming empty lots into walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods gives people and businesses exactly what they need to thrive. Build places where people actually want to live.
need every european and canadian lecturing us about not stopping trump to get their own houses in order
first time he’s wandered into a hornet’s nest he can’t just say “nevermind, forget it” about after he gets tired of dealing with it and he obviously has no idea what to do in that kind of situation.
a more accurate headline would be: semi killed cyclist in downtown omaha.
cyclists belong in downtowns, semis do not.
If you have not read How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr I highly recommend it. Incredible how much Americans just don’t get taught about American history
the freedom isn't free nonsense is pretty funny when nothing is threatening our freedom other than billionaires and our own government
my dogs all stink. they go behind a bush, one at a time, and come out stinky. what's going on back there?!?
love this for any team. continuity made fandom so fun and now it's so rare.
watching the waiter at the Brazilian steakhouse ignore my coin asking for more meat
It’s pretty crazy that Trump is leading a false criminal investigation into Slotkin and Kelly and they’re still voting to confirm Trump’s NSA director
