Yesterday at the House Transportation Finance and Policy committee, a bill on autonomous vehicles (pushed by @waymo.bsky.social lobbyists) was heard in the House Transportation committee. We testified against it, and it did not pass!

Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.
The amount of organizing happening in a VERY short period of time is truly mind boggling.
I've seen things come together in hours that, in the nonprofit & education spaces, would take weeks or MONTHS of planning and coordination.
So, so proud of the Twin Cities right now.
My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

"When we think of children’s transportation as separate and different from the transportation needs of other nondrivers, we lose the potential of scalable solutions that work better when more people take advantage of them..."
This is so cool! Go Joan!
But seriously, the commentary about what we're losing when we don't adequately fund the preservation our country's natural treasures hits hard.
