ICE shooting a food bank worker in the back is a little on the nose for the current moment

It's one of the things I think folks struggle with is that you're not actually nostalgic for an era of factory work, you're nostalgic for an era of union jobs, massive-scale construction of affordable housing, and mass immigration

Richmond-San Rafael Bridge bike path closes during commute hours to ease traffic Commuters who use the Richmond San Rafael Bridge are noticing a big change that started this week: There's no longer a bike path spanning the bridge during heavier commute times.

Editor’s Note: eliminating the bike lane does not “ease traffic”

Are we really doing "poor trapped Usha Vance" content like people tried with Melania Trump? These wives are all on board the project. Let's not pretend.

When liberal pundits say “working class” they mean poor straight white men. They do not mean poor women, POC, or queer people, etc.

The latter group is larger than the former so what are we even doing playing footsie with guys with Nazi tattoos to appeal to white men who will never vote for us?

New York City Urbanist Voter Guide: General Election + Ballot Measures Edition TL;DR: Vote for Zohran and YES on Ballot Measures 2-5

the amount of misinformation around the NYC election (both about zohran and the ballot measures) has been absolutely nuts. that’s why I wrote my own urbanist voter guide here:

Illinois will effectively eliminate parking minimum requirements in ~all of Chicago and much of its suburbs thanks to the transit funding bill that passed last night.

Illinois lawmakers approve $1.5B legislative package to buoy mass transit Lawmakers agreed on a tax package to stave off a $200 million-plus fiscal cliff next year that would likely result in major cuts to bus and rail service at the Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pac...

Unbelievably tragic piece about all the crossing guards injured or killed on the job in the US.

One school district in South Carolina has had 4(!) crossing guards hit or killed on the job.

These are people trying to fix the problems caused caused by traffic engineers, and are dying doing it.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Since winning a PA Supreme Court majority, Ds have:

- Erased GOP gerrymander
- Upheld mail voting
- Rejected Trump bid to overturn results

So you can imagine why Rs really want to seize the majority ahead of ‘26 + ‘28.

Which brings us to Tuesday’s crucial election: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...
