#GVerse In a stunning rebuke of #Shit4Brains, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney just made clear Canada🇨🇦 would militarily fight against the US should #ShitFace invade Greenland. Wow.

I wish there were fewer news reports saying cops were not charging a driver who killed or seriously injured a pedestrian, and more articles that independently analyzed what actually happened and whether cops have let a dangerous driver keep driving.

Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

Kavanaugh stop results in kidnapping and assault of US citizen baby. It’s not enough to orphan kids, let’s injure them physically, too?

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

If officials can’t bring themselves to arrest someone who is captured on camera from multiple angles killing someone in cold blood, they should just step aside so someone with a backbone can lead

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Impeach him.

I’ve been the calm parent on the other end of the phone for my son twice in his first semester of high school. Thankfully not active shooter scenarios but the last lockdown involved a student with a loaded ghost gun. This substack has excellent advice.

This entire weekend

This rider reached out to thank Ride On for the mobility we provide those in the county who don't own a car. Ride On's zero fare policy allows riders to get wherever they need to go with ease.

This makes me so emotional. This #kidsridefree route passes Seneca Valley and Northwest HS. To the young rider who wrote this: I can tell you’re going places! Acknowledging the bus driver’s role in your success speaks volumes about your work ethic & grace.

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I’m not saying I moved to Wheaton for the bragging rights of my home station having the longest escalator in the Western Hemisphere…but I am a nerd & have entirely too many Wheaton escalator facts in my head.

I just called my senators.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

stanning the made up moms in this fake ass story

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

There are more of us than there are of them.

this is genuinely wild

On Mon 10/27/25 8:06 am the driver (62/M) of a 2019 Honda Fit hit & injured a pedestrian (40/M) in the [car loop] at Francis Scott Key MS, 910 Schindler Dr. Police (MCP32680066) found the pedestrian at fault: failure to obey traffic signs.👀

It's a Safe Routes to School problem when a driver hits children next to an elementary school, even if it happened on a weekend.

USDA Quietly Deletes Its Contingency Plan for Funding SNAP - NOTUS www.notus.org/trump-white-...

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits. No, they don’t have to.

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact: TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

Since 2020, we have been posting data from every police crash report involving a non-motorist in Montgomery County MD. In 2023, when the MD State Police started posting crash data ✨with ages✨, we were shocked to find out how many of those non-motorists were children.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

the Montgomery County executive is in charge of transportation—including appointing the agency head. who gets elected could make a huge difference in how safe our streets are, which is why @ggwash.org will endorse for county executive in the 2026 primary

I have been doing extra time explaining to Very Driving friends and family the idea that they should be not speeding, and ✨ looking ✨ for people not in vehicles and then slowing/stopping/otherwise yielding to people not in vehicles, rather than threatening to hit them 🚗

What are reforms to help save kids? 1) Engineering. We need more stop signs like the one that being installed where Summer Lim died. Road diets. Protected bike lanes. Pedestrian-activated beacons at higher-conflict crossings. Real traffic signals. We know where to put them from crash data.

Drivers routinely speed down Sligo Ave through East Silver Spring (where I live) despite the high volume of pedestrians, due to a lack of stops and traffic calming elements. A child was recently hit at this intersection but MCDOT refuses to consider stop signs. This approach is killing pedestrians.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

"“For far too many of our students, walking to school is the riskiest thing they do every day,” @bnhowe.bsky.social said. Pedestrian safety advocates say the school system needs to work more closely with county and state agencies, including the State Highway Administration, to monitor the data."

in February @mcdotnow.bsky.social said that a stop sign wasn’t necessary at the Rockville intersection where a school bus hit and killed an 11yo October 9. it literally took someone dying for them to do their job. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Happy to have had my testimony quoted. There are huge movements to address gun violence in schools (rightfully). But the biggest danger most kids face daily is their walk to school.

The Illinois Secretary of State has launched a hotline for folks who see ICE switching license plates. Tampering with or removing license plates is illegal in Illinois. If you see it, report it. Call 312-814-1730.

He just knocked down part of the White House. This is so absurd.

For those of you who keep track of these things, this was the morning after an 11 year old was killed biking home from middle school. Since 10/9 at least 5 (but likely more) tweens & teens in MoCo have been struck and injured by drivers, with at least 4 of those crashes in school walk zones.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Hallowe'en is just around the corner and it is one of the most dangerous days for children. Here are some safety tips: 1) Avoid hitting children with your pickup truck, SUV or other motor vehicle. It is technically against the law to harm or kill a child with your vehicle and you could be charged.

This @nbcwashington.com story uses best practices for reporting on traffic crashes.💐 - Avoid the word "accident" ( #CrashNotAccident ) - Highlight the human element of crashes ( #DriverNotCar ) - Avoid victim blaming - Avoid speculation - Provide context www.vitalstrategies.org/wp-content/u...

I have to pick intro & outro music for an event where I’ll be speaking/storytelling. This is a massive responsibility + I didn’t realize how many of my favorite songs include profanity. Goal: evoke community, empathy, slight coolness. 90s/oughts vibes. No profanity. Probably 30-60 seconds.

Take it from us -- an organization that closely studies all the horrific ways people can die from common household items -- have the jelly donut.

@bnhowe.bsky.social this ⤴️ happened on a Sunday but it's still a Safe Routes to School crash for Quince Orchard HS. Twice in 6 months at that driveway, plus another one exactly the same except one driveway over. Plus this one at the driveway around the corner. bsky.app/profile/actf...
