The District of Columbia has experienced 8 traffic fatalities so far in 2026, compared to 25 in all of 2025. DC is on a pace for 60 fatalities this year. @mayorbowser.dc.gov @ddotdc.bsky.social, what actions are you taking?

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies. It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

DC traffic safety issues are largely caused by suburban drivers who we can't discipline effectively and who congressional Republicans are trying to shield from our traffic cameras. dclocal.substack.com/p/sorry-dc-v...

This is an afront to family biking across #BIkeDC! Stay tuned for planned action. And tell your friends outside of DC to call their Senators offices on Tuesday to alert them to this action that will hurt everyone that visits the National Mall

This is so fucked up 🤬

More photos from Minneapolis’ unity ride for Alex Pretti today: Of course cargo bikes were there. 🚲 ❤️

On the Alex Pretti Memorial Ride, the kids came up with their own chant: “Let’s go bike! No more ICE!” Love them.

In today's @nytimes.com, @barryfriedman1.bsky.social and I argue that, with no *other* means of pursuing accountability for lawlessness by ICE, local/state prosecutions become not just legally viable, but necessary—both to punish past abuses and to deter future ones: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/o...

Even the hard right crowd in the Bush '43 Administration are now disgusted by the actions of the Frankenstein's monster of an agency that they created.

Best thing I've encountered recently, via e.e. cummings. Yes, still catching up.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Missed this story the other day: Since 2019, DC has added 50 miles of bike lanes and 11 miles of bus lanes. But commute times have not changed, sinking opponents' arguments that the new infrastructure would cause havoc.

Not only has Minneapolis police not had to shoot anyone in a year. But there has been just ONE homicide in Minneapolis this year, but TWO unofficial DHS homicides: 67% of city homicides are DHS homicides! And 43% of all gunshot victims!

Nice view. Thanks @wmata.com! 🚃
