Show trials are most certainly on the list of “classic ways to try to scare people from exercising their rights.” Please consider throwing some money in the kitty to defend these good people. Legal Defense Fund for MN Anti-ICE Organizers chuffed.org/project/1865...

Tax the rich. If they don't want to be taxed, EAT the rich.

The world's first trillionaire did this

Seattle you make me so proud to live in the PNW! 🌲💙🤍💚

Shocked Pikachu.

Never forget the liars who told you and told you that Democratic Socialism would never work. The people that brought you Trump’s pedocracy did everything they could to stop Mamdani.

I'm disappointed in this article and in Wired for designating it "The Big Story." I'll summarize: "These damn long covid advocates won't let us talk about exercise therapy and brain retraining at all! Here are some anecdotes and cherry-picked stories while I ignore *most* of the research."

Crazy Socialist Mayor of Seattle Says Cars Not Allowed to Drive on ‘Trains-Only’ Train Tracks: tinyurl.com/3hrm25vc

“So much of urban planning is organised around a guy getting to work as quickly as possible. That's the worldview. The only time I care about the city is when I'm in my car and need to get to work as fast as possible. Looking through that lens is so incredibly toxic.” LISTEN: youtu.be/hUR3rmr845s

Something we have in common!

“Take the light rail,” they said. “You’ll avoid traffic,” they said.

For World Bicycle Day: Bicycle advertisements were prolific in the 19th and early 20th century, just as automobile ads are today. Here are a few beautiful ones from the Library of Congress collection.

What a cartoon villain.

What a cartoon villain.

We're putting women's lives at risk. Every day.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

When I remember Sally Ride, I can't help but remember the NASA engineers who asked her if 100 tampons would be enough for 6 days 🥲 ...become the first American woman in space and apparently the first woman to ever explain the menstrual cycle to those NASA engineers.

Thinking of Sally Ride on her birthday today. Sally’s passion for science and exploration led her to become the first American woman in space. Sally was a talented astronaut and an inspiration for so many young women across the world.

Did they have to choose the creepiest picture of the man?

Even my dog likes the cargo bike better

I love walking and biking, and I hate driving - going to Costco on my bike is a fun little adventure and there's always room at the bike rack; going to Costco in my car is a horrible nightmare and I spend more time looking for a parking space than I do driving both ways.

I asked people for questions on car-free living and one that came up was “how do you cope with less free time?”. Living in a walkable neighbourhood, I genuinely don’t feel like I have less free time. (Which is different from trying the same thing in a car-oriented neighbourhood.)

This is incredibly important - COVID is both deadly and disabling.

New observational studies link early oral antiviral drug use to both a 14% lower risk of long COVID in nonhospitalized patients with Omicron infections and better patient-reported and functional outcomes after infection. Read more: ow.ly/SKWM50Z1ge2

The dismantling of USAID is a humanitarian crisis. Only the cartoonists are covering it.

... yep

Having seen the reflecting pool in the Before Times, this looks like a tacky terrible photoshop job. Unfortunately? It's a tacky terrible reality. And it really does look like the water feature on a golf course.

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

This is *insanity.* Memphis is the second largest city in the state.

⚡️ WATCH — JUST NOW — 99% white Tennessee House Republicans pass a racist 9-0 map stripping majority Black Memphis of congressional representation

I honestly think it's really fucked up that a lot of urbanists will look at this setup and be like "Yes! 🥰 Cycling is for everyone!" but if you show them a very similar setup that would enable more disabled people who don't use/need wheelchairs to ride, the lack of pedals is suddenly an outrage.

I'm currently off the bike altogether because my chronic illness makes me prone to suddenly running out of energy - I'd be better able to get around & to ride with pedals (which is what I want to do) if I had a throttle option to tide me over if/when that happened.

This isn't satire. For anyone reviewing this as historical record in the post-america future, this headline is real. (I know it might be confusing because it seems like it should be satire.)

While the rest of us struggle in traffic and circle for parking—crushed under the weight of car payments, gas, repairs, and insurance—our obviously corrupt mayor rides a giant county-funded limo with its own dedicated lanes.

On this day 70 years ago-May 1, 1956-the polio vaccine was first made widely available to the public. The vaccine’s developer, Dr. Jonas Salk, did not patent the vaccine so that it would remain available to as many people as possible in the US and internationally. Image: Harvey Georges/AP.

In Seattle, "95% of people who receive and pay a [speed zone] ticket never receive another citation at the same camera location" according to @seattledot.bsky.social www.seattle.gov/transportati...

Why does no one ever ask "Why?" when the administration wants to put his name or face on something? Why is every single question from a respected news outlet not, "But why, though?" This is not a habit displayed by any other recent President. It is officially weird and the media should say so.

In Seattle's Pike Place Market, vendors claimed that removing cars would cripple them. Nope. Sales actually rose. Remember: Studies show that biz owners consistently exaggerate how many customers drive and undercount those who walk, bike, or ride transit. Info: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This just seems unnecessary, right?

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

This is a direct result of Trump's policies.
