Imagine if a water pipe broke and the water department had to ask city council whether to fix it and then spend 12 months asking everyone on the street their opinion of how to fix it before they could start work.

That's how cities manage curbs.

@bkindivisible.bsky.social members also folded the incredible @meganpiont.bsky.social's awesome "How to Report ICE" zine for distribution!

You can find them here to fold/distribute yourself! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Basically there's no way out of this through the restoration of American Exceptionalism you see through the gross Liberal Currents people on this website. The way out will involve the US becoming Just Another Country, which also means ratifying all those treaties that every other country ratified

this should be a much bigger story

I was was so angry when they installed that horseshit. Like, clearly this is stupid y'all, why would you do it? Convert the street from 2-2 to 1-1-1 and put in real bike lanes but this "solution" to save car lanes is brain dead.

And because it takes so long to get anything done! When it's six years from conception to start of build how can costs NOT change?

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

To clear California High-Speed Rail for use on EXISTING train tracks between San Jose and San Francisco alone, the environmental review process produced a final report of 8,204 pages (456 hours of reading) and took almost 14 years to complete. We need reform.

“Making Standard Time permanent would result in more light in the mornings… People generally require more light in morning and less during evening to keep their circadian rhythm synchronized to a 24-hour day.” #DitchDST

If the corrupt court rules in his favor we no longer have a country.

A neighborhood street next to an elementary school with traffic cones used to block illegal parking near crosswalks and narrow the lanes to slow cars and reduce pedestrian crossing distance.

We’ve shown that temporary measures can physically slow drivers and restrict illegal and dangerous parking. Now imagine if we installed permanent infrastructure, like bulb-outs, diverters and raised crosswalks, to prioritize street safety 24/7.

People hate mandatory driving. You've been given everything you ostensibly wanted, and it's crystal-clear that it's a path to misery. Heated seats can't compensate for a system that can't work at the scale we've asked it to work at.

NIMBYs already got the protected bike lanes through Capitol Hill cancelled and now they're coming for the sharrows? god damn these people.

It's the suburbanization/infantilization of all of American life.

"Cities are scary, I just want to live in my little tract home and eat at my little chains, around people identical to me in an HOA panopticon, only ever leaving home in my car, never encounter a stranger who isn't serving me."

1/? People of a certain age will remember this. Phil Donahue interviewed Farrakhan. Mike Wallace interviewed Farrakhan. There was not a single murmur of cancelling their shows. Arsenio decided to interview Farrakhan and was told him if he did so, he would lose the Arsenio Hall Show.

The snails pace at which non-car infrastructure is barely slowed to be built allows for these kinds of shenanigans. The y need to move faster.

16% percent of downtown is surface parking lots. That doesn't include curb parking and parking garages. Tell me again how it is hard to park downtown.

Hell yeah Tim Russ! Standing for Treks values ❤️❤️ makes me even more excited to hear him in the next Star Trek Khan episode.

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

5-6 beers are now legal if in close proximity to public transit

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

What centrist libs can't seem to internalize is that the US contains a large, longstanding, well-funded political movement that *wants political violence and authoritarianism*. It does not need to be provoked in any way in order to pursue those goals.

My big worry is what happens to mile high. This city already voted down affordable housing on an abandoned golf course. I fear we'll get a five year planning process calling for "open space" and "more parking" for a bunch of detached housing.

The #FrontRangePassengerRail project offers a huge opportunity to connect residents up and down the Front Range with @denver-broncos.bsky.social games directly by convenient train service that avoids excessive transfers.

Let's make sure heavy rail is in the plan for the site to #BuildFRPR right!

Both 46th Ave and Lowell at this intersection were supposed to be protected bike lanes. The 46th Ave PBL was cancelled and the Lowell PBL has been delayed indefinitely due to lack of funding. This is another crash in Denver that could have been prevented.

This is legal. scotus ruled years ago that donating to terrorists isn’t free speech, nor can services be provided in kind. As I recall it was something to do with lawyers for combatants held in Guantanamo. Welp, here are the consequences. They’ll declare anti-ice protestors to be terrorists.

All sequels to 80’s movies should take place the next day w/ no explanation for why the cast are old now.

Ego demands it.
