There are only 45 million foreign-born people living in the United States right now, about half of whom are naturalized citizens. So this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.

I love living somewhere that i can get literally anywhere on a bus/trolley. it’s a blessing.

Projects: continued progress on Pas-NoHo BRT and Cal Poly Pomona Mobility Hub. Trends: continued education of elected officials that the only way to “fix” traffic is by meaningfully investing in alternatives.

There is nothing inexplicable about why some histories are not widely known.

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

The nuance here is that the IRT Company went bankrupt, and its subway lines survived because the city took them over under the leadership of the socialist Fiorello LaGuardia.

Honestly pretty shocking it was just 50% before the pandemic but falling by half in 5 years is horrifying

Saw an ICE recruitment ad that aired during one of the college bowl games and it was replete with racist and Islamophobic undertones, and suggested a military-like occupation of the US. We’re going to have to shrink ICE and rein it in if we are to have a functioning democracy.

Deficits only trigger conservatives if the money is being used to help non rich people.

The most under-reported story of the year, IMO, is about the national implications of the extreme and wildly popular success of congestion pricing in New York City. When you remove cars from cities, you not only make money for things the city needs; you make people in the city much, much happier.

Slashing the federal workforce doesn’t make government more “efficient,” as much as it degrades government services people need.

"Between the administration and the opposition are actual opposites of principle: among those committed to inclusion and those to exclusion; truth and lies; kindness and cruelty; the protection and destruction of systems that in turn protect the climate or public health."

Speaking of “fraud,” how is it that votes mailed days before an election might not be counted because of this fuckery?

Kudos to Boston. To reduce traffic you need mode shift. You can get mode shift to bikes if you build a connected network of bike safe streets.

If you think the Trump-Republican Party's willingness to break the law by not following the Epstein Files Transparancy Act (H.R. 4405) reveals something even more insidious about the fascist authoritarian Trump regime, you'd be correct. 😳👇

The Ford F150 Lightning was cancelled recently and this popped back into my head - Biden mentioning that the battery they're putting into the car is comparable with the battery for an ENTIRE SCHOOL BUS Inadvertently speaking volumes about the state of car company vehicle size decisions.....

There is a global struggle between fascism and democracy, as there was during WWII, only now this US administration has switched sides.

will never cease to amaze me that china built out it's HSR infra for about a trillion dollars - while the US spends roughly 1.5 trillion a year just on *car ownership*

Insane NY Post column suggesting that the new First Lady who is sad about leaving her longtime neighbors in a not fancy NYC neighborhood is an ungrateful brown woman

Lavish socialism for the entitled motorists, and "rugged individualism" for the transit riders. ​We use public funds to clear the path for private machines, but tell other people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps through a three-foot snowbank.

Just more voter suppression at this point. It’s the only way the GOP can stay in power.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

Any word on the progress of the emperor’s new gilded ballroom?

It’s absolutely essential to overturn Citizens United or the power of money in politics will be uncontrollable.

1. End Citizens United 2. Tax the rich 3. Prosecute wage theft 4. Pass Medicare for All 5. Vote out bought, corrupt politicians

Straight up criminality. Abolish ICE.

It’s wild to me that there’s a senior government official who posts daily about how they don’t like Black & Brown people on social media and it’s not a scandal. It’s just background noise in the overall awfulness of the Trump administration.

As we write in the book, cars were the original "move fast and break things" technology.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Perpetual reminder: extreme rainfall events increase due to #globalheating. Weather station data show what has been predicted for over 30 years by climate scientists. These extremes are now far outside the historical climate. Study: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A reminder that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra’s parents emigrated here during a period when Italians were considered to be a genetically inferior and criminal-minded underclass that Stephen Miller’s racist predecessors said should be excluded from America

No lies detected

thinking about the fancy lads who were like “you might not like elon but doge has some good ideas”

“Current priorities” = tax cuts for billionaires.

Bombing on Christmas. Yeah that tracks for the dude who gave himself a madeup Fifa Peace Prize.

Another war crime from the Trump administration. No money for healthcare, education or employment but there’s always funds for bombing Black and Brown people. The US is running to a global isolation and permanent pariah state status. All b/c white people wanted another racist pedophile in office

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 This year feels different. My heart is with all the families who are living in fear, who have been torn apart, and have to celebrate differently. One day things will be better. 1/

Pretty evil, if you ask me. But makes perfect sense if you want to establish a dictatorship over a white ethnostate.

White Christian nationalism (aka fascism)

Irish woman with green card, bounced 2 checks totaling $80 ten years ago. For this "crime of moral turpitude," she was held pending deportation, no bond, and put in isolation for asking for low-sodium food. It's great she's out. But also white privilege – 18 Senators wrote to Kristi Noem about her.

Bike buses are the embodiment of Joy to the World. The school car line? Not so much. Here’s to more Bike Buses in 2026!

Transit and railroad workers!

We need an honest accounting of what this infrastructure actually costs. ​Not just to build and maintain, but the hidden costs like the crashes, the emergency services, and the human hardship. The age of giving car culture carte blanche with our tax dollars needs to come to an end.

"Was I losing my mind?" -- a quote that covers much of 2025, and will likely fit in 2026 too. But here it's from the irreplaceable @sammyroth.bsky.social visiting the LA Auto Show: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/finding-am...

It remains wild to me that during the first trump administration there was a long debate over terminology after AOC (correctly) called border internment "concentration camps" and now having concentration camps is a core domestic policy. The purpose of that stupid debate was to normalize the idea.

Nothing bad ever happened from treating human beings like things, right?

cars are a large, depreciating asset and exploding car prices / monthly payments is just taking money out of people's pockets. frankly this is a direct route to making people poorer.

A much appreciated (and unexpected) holiday gift from a valued member of my city’s council. I guess they know me pretty well, eh?😂

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
