I’m not a religious person but I imagine the late Donald Shoup looking down on this #NewWest council meeting as parking policy is made up on the fly…

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Day 8 of the #carfreechallenge2025 - listen for Sir Squawk's statue finding. I cannot tell you how much more I learn from the kids in the bike in front of me vs them sitting behind me in a car. Bike time=connection time #cargobikelife #yegbike #bunchbike #happyriding

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

My cargo bike has always been a conversation starter from curious onlookers. I'm now looking forward to a whole new level of inquisitive questions from people who see us around the city next year.

Celebrating mifepristone, a hero in modern abortion access, on its 25th anniversary in the U.S. www.statnews.com/2025/09/28/m... via @statnews.com "...we have mountains of data that reinforce the findings of early studies documenting its safety." "...under attack by the anti-abortion movement..."

“In 2023, cars and their drivers killed 8,820 American pedestrians and bicyclists — 7,314 pedestrians and 1,166 cyclists. They injured another 136,281, an increase of over 5,300 injuries from 2022.” Put the responsibility where it belongs. Via @jalopnik.bsky.social www.jalopnik.com/1979666/defe...

UN: “Kids dying of starvation… what we give them is a peanut butter paste. We’ve been told we can’t bring that in because it’s a luxury.” AMANPOUR: “Seriously?”

Today, Portland ICE facility. Peaceful protesters came with flowers and signs.

What we need are bollards in every lane

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

In cities that don’t force car dependency, date night can look like this (for those who want to). (P.S. @nissamitchell.com is hot 😍)

Reported the overgrown branches to @cityofsaintpaul.bsky.social and waited a month for them to do anything about it, finally just cut them back myself to stop getting hit in the face with branches. Hit up the whole downtown Capital City Bikeway and cleared encroaching branches.

#carfreechallenge2025 day 5. Added the community events square, and played battery roulette #yegbike #carfreelife #bunchbike #bikelife

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

Kimmel won. Winning matters, wins are how we’re going to prevent this autocratic slide.

*Me listening in on a lady who just tried an ebike for the first time and came back to the bike shop* "That was amazing! I felt like I had super powers. I have to get my husband to try one!" And yes, she bought the bike. It was a Gazelle.

Well done everyone. More of this. Keep going. Fight AT LEAST this hard on EVERYTHING they’re doing.

Do you realize that the roughly 10,000 pedestrians and bicyclists killed by traffic violence last year have family? Family whose lives have been devastated by the loss of their loved ones? And you come out with this "look both ways" BS as if these deaths were their own fault?

“They are deliberately misinforming, and I get tired of being asked to rebut the lies as if it’s a good faith argument, or a debate between opinion vs opinion, when it’s really a debate between evidence and deliberate misinformation.” I get real & blunt with @ambermac.bsky.social! Listen and share.

“You think Amnesty [International] has a problem with Cuba?” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social presses Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío over his claim that Amnesty International is funded by anti-socialist organizations. Watch their full discussion: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Road safety should, most of all, be the responsibility of -the agencies that design and operate the roads -the agencies that regulate the motor vehicles

Cars need to be sequestered into safe corridors away from the rest of us.

Here's another one: demand that every school be placed in a superblock: four surrounding blocks reclaimed from cars and redesigned for kids’ safety, outdoor play, community seating, and greenery. Safe streets should start where children learn and neighbors socialize.

I've long felt this way. He said it very well.

There are a number of places around the lower mainland I can think of where this would be a good solution...

Ha

Why should a person on a bike get a criminal summons for traveling 16 mph, while the driver of a 5,000 pound SUV doesn't even receive a ticket for speeding at 35 mph? Mayor Adams continues his war on biking with this backward rule — despite >90% of public comments opposing it.

Good summary...👇 “The saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recycling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies, and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority.” – Arthur Caplan Trump Makes Unfounded Claims About Tylenol, Vaccines And Autism apnews.com/article/tyle...

What were we talking about again? Oh yeah!

major blinks of the second Trump term: -firing Kimmel -canceling congestion pricing -sending national guard to Chicago any others that I’m missing?

every detail about this street is bad. not just the poor design and the inability to prioritize anything but cars here but even the finish is dumb. when my wife had a walking boot after a procedure - just the slightest bit of winter rain made it dangerous, causing her to slip several times

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Park adjacent small-lot apartments, as envisioned by the recent council motion by @lucymaloney.bsky.social - to allow these types of accessible flats next to all parks and bike routes throughout the city

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

Nice work, everyone.

This👇! "What these people do, is that they search, they find one paper or two papers that make an outlandish claim based on bad data that hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of other papers refute." Claim Covid vaccines persist is ‘absolutely impossible’ www.statnews.com/2025/09/20/d...

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

@movementyvr.bsky.social is a great advocacy organization fighting for better transit in the Metro Vancouver area, and today they bring you a video all about the problems of the proposed Boundary Rd BRT - Watch this video and learn more! youtu.be/n2TuO_f38FM

Light the trails and people will use them at night too

Free free Palestine! In Vancouver BC . What a turnout! Me and my Muli! 1000’s of people. Fantastic.

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

Last day for the TransLink survey! 🚍 "The demand for better transit is already here," says a 20-year Heights resident. Option 1 = better access to housing & businesses. Option 2 = thousands left behind. Link in bio to have your say! #BurnabyHeights #TransitJustice

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

🔥💯 Jon Stewart's prophecy from 2022: "When a democracy is under threat: comedians are the ones who get sent away first. Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to progress. It ain't the pronoun police, it's the Secret Police. It always has been & it always will be."
