Uh, Dana, allow me to introduce you to former President Theodore Roosevelt (who served from 1901 to 1909), who wrote this in a newspaper editorial published in the Kansas City Star on May 7, 1918, during World War I, sharply criticizing then-President Woodrow Wilson’s conduct of that war.

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

Worried about what people are saying about AI? Listen to this great talk by @carissaveliz.bsky.social about predictions, and rethink how you are reacting to the hype. Carissa's was one of my favorite talks seen this year at #TED. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS4w...

🚨 Breaking!!! 🚨 As if setting the record for the highest percentage of zero carbon U.K electricity ever recorded - at 98.8% - wasn’t enough this week, the National Energy System Operator has just announced that we also set a new for solar generation yesterday! 🇬🇧☀️♻️⚡️

This wild document is the basis for the State Department's decision to cancel the visas and green cards of tech researchers who study the social media platforms and of tech regulators who enforce privacy and transparency laws. Disclosed to us last night in @thecoalition.bsky.social v. Rubio.

In addition to terrible treatment, this surprise: "It also raises questions about how that system may be weaponized: A judge said in a ruling that she believed that Ms. Ross-Mahé’s stepson Tony Ross, who had been fighting with her over her late husband’s estate, instigated her arrest."

In states that are embracing electric vehicles, the fossil fuel infrastructure is no longer making profits. Investing in fossil fuel infrastructure at this stage of our energy transition is a terrible idea.

"[Impeachment] is how you hold executive officials to account. This is what the Framers gave us to deal with a president who is failing at his job, not just because he's incompetent—which he is, not just because he's crazy—because he is, but because fundamentally he's a criminal who defies the law."

"We are calling on legal and philanthropic leaders, on faith communities, and on every person who believes dissent is not a crime to say so, and to say so now. Silence in this moment is a choice." statement from @maya4rights.bsky.social civilrights.org @splcenter.org

Misinformation of the ebike issue leads to bad laws Like most media information this article conflates ebikes and emotos New Jersey's ebike laws were predicated on a single incident where an underage emoto rider was killed by a dangerous driver Remedy? Punish ebike riders #bikesky

If you dislike bike lanes, then you have something in common with President Trump. wtop.com/dc/2026/04/j...

Thank you @aoc.bsky.social that would have been my expression as well today

Happy #EarthDay! 🌎 The best transit 🚌🚊can do for the planet is getting people out of single occupant vehicles. And we should electrify🚊⚡️more diesel trains not primarily because of rail locomotive emissions but because they make trip times shorter which attracts more riders from their cars.🚗

Love this.

🌍 Okay everyone, if you love the #earth, ride your #bike more. ✅ it's one of the best ways to lower your carbon footprint ✅ it makes us slow down and connect with humans ✅ it has no need for fossil fuels

There is a complete discord between US news and the rest of the world. 3 different international news agencies report that Iran will not entertain any negotiations until the blockade of Iranian ports is lifted. Do not believe anything the regime in the US is telling you.

“Benches aren’t just disappearing from large railroad stations, but also from subways, parks, plazas, sidewalks, and esplanades…in the past decade, across the U.S., hundreds of places to sit in public have quietly disappeared.” The Disappearance of the Public Bench. By @placesjournal.bsky.social

US DOT wants states to build more roads and take space away from bikes and give it to cars. It's foolish on SO many levels. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/04/22/f...

Imagine if we invested in childcare and health care like we do in war and weapons.

A draft dodger is arresting war veterans for protesting his illegal war with Iran. Remember in November.

Pertinent Epiphany while taking multimodal transport to Central Station: I am filled with anxiety taking new transitional paths someone else created. I am filled with excitement and focus taking transitional paths i create.

Tucker Carlson: I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We’re implicated in this. I misled people.

Al Gore: “This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

Thank you @corydoctorow for these great words: “Ebikes are insanely great technology. Cheap, rugged and reliable, they're basically bicycles that abolish hills. Once you've gotten accustomed to an ebike – maybe you've invested in a folding helmet and a raincoat – you'll never go back. 1/2

Few people have missed the boat on the climate transition as badly as US automakers. Every move they've made has been wrong, and now they're doomed. We should study the brains of their CEOs, for posterity.

Please give us viable and safe alternatives to driving, we will use them. The congestion is so bad and getting worse because of government policy decisions. One more lane makes traffic worse because of induced demand.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal. Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government. Let's look at the data. 🧵

Not the overarching message she's trying to get across here, but @aoc.bsky.social, welcome to The War on Cars.

Truth: if USDOT and states were honest about safety being number one, we would do everything possible to get people out of cars and into transit, walking, biking.

Tuan Van Bui is the 46th person to die in federal custody under the Trump regime — an all-time high. Around 70,000 people are still in ICE detention, a majority of whom have no criminal convictions. Never forget the cruelty Trump continues to inflict at home.
