This is why I chafe at jokes about how high gas prices are part of the "war on cars." People won't suddenly stop driving because gas prices are high. We need to make bicycling safer, we need to make transit more accessible and efficient. We know that safe bike infrastructure entices people to bike!

Of course. Why would I want another Zionist in office?

Holding Israeli citizenship is a huge red flag for me.

Wait, wouldn't it be the opposite?

Pretty sure he holds assraeli citizenship.

He's very much a Zionist so it would make sense he's leading

"Another bystander found a life ring and lowered it into the water."

Some may remember that life rings required long years of advocacy. That citizen-installed life rings were *taken down* by the Park District. That Ald. Hadden and Rep. Cassidy had to work to pass a *state law* requiring them.

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

What about lower income people who make up a high percentage of bus riders?

I'm all for holding drivers who block dedicated bus lanes and bus stops accountable.

If you put bike lanes everywhere in the city, it stops being viewed as a symbol of gentrification. They stop becoming an "amenity" that brings better personal safety and higher quality of life. If one person said a new road with speed bumps would bring gentrification, they'd sound ridiculous.

White Lexus with Florida plates parked on street and covered with snow.

This is why it's helpful to call it "car storage" instead of "parking."

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
