Um one of these just went by me in the bike lane?! The bus driver was laughing so hard he couldn’t talk. I was too shocked to take a photo.

Whenever I visit my suburban family I pack my lightest winter coat because it won’t matter. We won’t be outside except to/from the car (and maybe not even then with an attached garage!).

I walked 5 blocks to return a library book with my child just now and had to scream at 3 different drivers endangering us. One turning right at a NO TURN ON RED sign, one blocking the crosswalk and texting, and one that ran a stop sign.

I’m going to figure out how to DIY this on my stupid fluorescent vest. But it will say “a bike lane,” because there aren’t really any on my typical routes.

We had a scary few hours with the check-engine light on our 2009 Honda Fit with 165k miles on it, but I’m happy to report it’s back at home and recovering after a small $500 operation. Transmission intact 😮💨

ICE is a state-sponsored domestic terrorist organization that executed Renee Nicole Good in broad daylight. We can't let this stand. Demand your representatives vote to abolish ICE & to impeach & indict Bovino & the rest of the Regime that's complicit in ICE's crimes against the American people.

I’m absolutely gutted over the murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis. I have a child near the same age as hers. Her car was full of stuffies. It’s heartbreaking. I called my rep (left a message) and both my senators (mailboxes full) to demand the dismantling of ICE and impeachment of the president.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?
