i think what makes zohran so compelling even outside of nyc is that he seems like the real deal and the establishment fucking hates him for it. he's a rallying cry for democracy in the biggest city in the country against fascists and fascist enablers. it feels existential in a way that bernie didn't
A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.
For all mankind is great!
Parade march through downtown Houston
No Kings protest in downtown Houston. Thankfully the weather held out!

Rumeysa outside, surrounded by reporters and her team.
BREAKING: Rümeysa, our union sister who was snatched by ICE, is free today. We stood up for our union family and demanded justice! When you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. #4the1st ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
In my dream world this is what they bring out to push stalled vehicles off the light rail tracks in downtown
Ok it sorta goes hard, I’d ride it for a few blocks
Lack of transparency from #houston leadership regarding our mayor’s war against people outside of cars.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!
With the current Houston’s admin actions against ped/bike infrastructure, I’ll believe this when I see it in action
Downtown Houston today
Biking in Houston this evening along the Austin St bikeway, hitting my regular stops like Under the Radar brewery. Real people rely on this bikeway and not just for cycling exercise!
A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part: "Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen. On January 31, 2025, he was walking near the corner of Cermak Road and Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses. As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship. The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours. All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated. The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk. After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."
A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

New York's (de)congestion pricing, which charges $9 to drive into Manhattan below 60 St, has reduced traffic, increased ridership, reduced subway crime, and is raising funds to fix the decaying transit system. Rare for a public policy to have this many benefits!
Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
The solution is to put these on the road, but that requires us to ensure those roads are safe enough to ride on (no 45mph SUV’s wizzing by). Smaller 2wheel vehicles like mopeds and e-bikes can be safe if we design roads with them in mind. Ebikers and acoustic bikers should fight together on this!
In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
The mentioned 8 cars under the bayou oaks
There’s a beautiful tree-shaded space right in front of the coffee shop I’m trying this morning, it’s a shame it’s only reserved for storing 8 private vehicles. Meanwhile everyone I’ve seen come in and out has been a walker or biker
Just learned about this app called Pointz which is like a specialized navigation app for biking. Taught me a much safer way to cross between Montrose and the Austin St bikeway here in Houston. Highly recommend! www.bikepointz.com

100 Women in Urbanism
Cathy Tuttle (@cathytuttle.bsky.social) and I have curated this list of the 100 most interesting women and non-binary people in urbanism on Bluesky right now.
Rice Village would be Houston’s paradise if even half of the strip malls had additional 2-5 floors of housing, with at least one side of each street having extended sidewalks right to the curb. Roads wouldn’t even need to be fully pedestrianized (though Kelvin and Morningside absolutely should be)

"There's nothing radical about wanting neighborhoods to be reconnected to address the air & water quality that communities living along the highway have to experience. Asking for opportunities to address disparities & gaps in opportunity to own homes and build generational wealth." -Yasmin Hirsi 1/3
