Upzoning is climate policy. Trans rights are human rights. Working for bike, pedestrian, accessible infrastructure, climate justice and more housing. I block bots, trolls, and people who annoy me. She/her

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Itโ€™s been 18 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Speaker Johnson still wonโ€™t swear her in.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know weโ€™re numb to this, but in any other time heโ€™d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This is such a cool thread! Clearly someone who doesn't just go through the motions of a job, but also observes and thinks about everything going on around them.

Itโ€™s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.โ€ These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

Leaked texts on Scott Bessentโ€™s phone suggest the White House got played bailing out Argentinaโ€”and U.S. soybean farmers are the casualties โ€œThis is highly unfortunate,โ€ the text said. โ€œSoy prices are dropping further because of it. This gives China more leverage on us.โ€

According to a photo of a private text on the phone of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Argentina responded to the treasury secretaryโ€™s $20 billion bailout by turning around and removing its export taxes on soybeans & striking a huge new deal with China. China then immediately pulled out of its...

A tweet from No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen. Text says "The White House just announced that the construction of Trump's $200 million golden ballroom will continue during the government shutdown while American soldiers go without pay." Pic of tacky ballroom next to pic of soldiers.

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," the pope explained.
"Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro life."

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," the pope explained. "Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro life."

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plazaโ€”this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

To help people who normally drive understand some of the challenges people face if they can't drive. It's shocking how many barriers there are. Incomplete sidewalks, oddly placed or nonexistent curb cuts, etc. Read more here: weekwithoutdriving.org
