Oof, bill in Iowa would ban bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, wheelchairs, strollers, skateboards, and other devices from roads with speed limits above 25 mph

If you live in Iowa, or visit for RAGBRAI or other reasons, look to the Iowa Bicycle Coalition for next steps

Both chambers of the Maryland legislature pass bills banning local 287(g) agreements with ICE

New research finds negligible benefit from "minimum passing distance" laws requiring drivers to give cyclists space when overtaking them.

Protected bike lanes are far more effective.

Australia’s World-Leading Solar Drives Residential Battery Boom Australian households — already world leaders in the number of rooftop solar panels per capita — installed as many batteries in the second half of 2025 as they did during the previous five years combined.

This means that people who are wrongfully detained by ICE can force ICE to pay for the legal fees it takes them to get out. Could have big implications in how this legal work is paid for.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

Treebeard would like a word

via @migrantinsider.bsky.social: the $10 billion private concentration-camp slush fund funneled through the Navy to DHS has ballooned to $55 billion, with an option to go to $65 billion.

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE.

Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th.

It's a banger from start to finish, and the ending is inspiring as all hell

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

This sounds very familiar...

Whoa. Costco with some serious apex predator tech being deployed.

They now have roving helpers at checkouts that prescan your entire cart using *fingertip* scanners while you wait in line. They just point and it scans. Nothing comes out of your cart.

At the actual checkout, it’s just card & pay.

A mother who was going to get treatment for her sick seven-month-old is instead locked in a *bathroom* with other people: "I don't want my baby to die!"

THIS. ⬇️

It is both impressive & *absurd* how much money average middle class Minnesotans are scrounging together to pay our neighbors’ rent so they aren’t made homeless during a federal occupation (in winter) where they can’t work & need to shelter in place to stay safe from abduction and abuse.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

It’s insane that millions of people board planes every year to visit Amsterdam, seeking a glimpse of human-scale life. ​Safe streets and people-centric design shouldn't be a vacation luxury, they should be the standard at home.

absolute nazi shit. these are people who came here legally and are to be rendered criminals to populate concentration camps because of lies.

Tweet from Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun: "Ignorance like this cheapens the horror of the Holocaust. Anne Frank was in Amsterdam legally and abided by Dutch law. She was hauled off to a death camp because of her race and religion. Her story has nothing to do with the illegal immigration, fraud, and lawlessness plaguing Minnesota today. Our brave law enforcement should be commended, not tarred with this historically illiterate and antisemitic comparison."

"‘Reminds me of Anne Frank’: Jewish seniors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers as Trump’s TPS end looms The end of Temporary Protected Status has Holocaust survivors offering to hide Haitian staffers, according to the CEO of a senior-living center in Florida."

Trump's antisemitism envoy: "It is utterly inappropriate to compare Anne Frank to children hiding from ICE. This demeans the experience of those who died in the Holocaust."

Actual Holocaust survivors in Florida: "This reminds us of Anne Frank."

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments."

This broke me.

If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

An @dril tweet that reads "the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: 'there's actually zero difference between good and bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron.'"

I'm somewhat relieved to say that ICE and AFGE parted ways in 2022. There is currently a petition in AFGE rank and file to kick out Border Patrol as well.

So it was always just as simple as, we could have climate justice or a welfare program for a small network of pedophiles, healthcare or a welfare program for a small network of pedophiles, no nazi surveillance state or a welfare program for a small network of pedophiles, affordable housing or a welf

Hell yeah Flavortown
