First time seeing this and it makes me want to scream/cry/throw up thinking about what could have been. I hope some day we have the political will to achieve this

If you care about what's happening in Venezuela, stop driving. Stop buying gas. Fuck cars and support public transportation in your city. That's how you fight fascism.

Regardless of what civil infractions anyone commits, they’re still people entitled to protections under the bill of rights. Please refrain from using such dehumanizing language in the future, it is not only harmful but factually incorrect and weakens your argument.

AI startup Friend spent more than $1M on all those subway ads | TechCrunch If you’ve been on the New York subway recently, you’ve probably seen stark white ads promoting a wearable AI device called Friend.

A reminder that anything recorded on a device like this AI "friend" could be used against you β€” by hackers, private companies, or the government.

This technology isn't a friend, it's surveillance.

my father-in-law is a β€œI know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about β€œwinning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

How Helsinki and Oslo cut pedestrian deaths to zero After years of committed action, neither city recorded a single pedestrian fatality in 2019

β€œThey cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills

The U.S. Department of Transportation Wants to Hear From You! Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is soliciting citizen feedback on β€œany aspect of Federal transportation infrastructure policy to inform the surface transportation reauthorization process." Ever...

Secretary Duffy believes the U.S. DOT should NOT be funding bicycle infrastructure.
He said
β€œI do think you see more congestion when you add bike lanes and take away vehicle lanes. That’s a problem.”

Buffalo Soldier - Wikipedia

Native communities are numerous and diverse, we are not a monolith. The Buffalo soldiers were sent to antagonize communities in the Southwest & Plains, who had zero to do with the 5 Southern Tribes or chattel slavery. The campaigns were about settler colonialism/empire expansion, not racial justice

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled courts must assess the full context of a police encounter when determining what constitutes excessive force β€” not just the moments right before the lethal force.

Over 1,300 people were killed by police last year. This ruling will help hold the police accountable.

Oh no, that’s such a bummer. I have a few prints of theirs that were beautifully silkscreened. The cost of success I guess is to be copied :(

Picture of rabbit stickers, two tee-shirts and the economic boycott poster bunny in a grid. The stickers in the top left corner are the red rabbit with a blue background staying β€œstand up for each other” and β€œwe have power” in black speech bubbles. Next to it is a yellow t-shirt with a the same rabbit only in blue saying β€œI stand with Ukraine” and β€œpower to the people” in black speech bubbles. There is also a silhouette of a sunflower on it. The bottom left is a blue tee-shirt with the same thing on it as the stickers. The bottom right is the Economic boycott poster. It has the same red rabbit and β€œdon’t buy stuff Friday Feb 28” and β€œwe have power” in black speech bubbles. It also lists: no Amazon, Walmart, target, fast food, gas. Ok small business, use cash.

Doing bill paying stuff til the end of the month. Then I’ll get back at making stuff to fight these fucking fascist losers.

I found a β€˜dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle β€œDead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.
