This delusional fuck goes from "I think it'll happen" to "They're sending Chinese ships up to buy oil" with barely any pause. The difference between "I think" and "it is" doesn't exist for him

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

The Fifth Circuit seems poised to effectively invalidate the entire 2021-22 Congress based on the quorum clause. www.courthousenews.com/fifth-circui...

Time to stand up for trans youth care.

New York streets belong to New Yorkers, and Soccer Streets are for the kids. We’re turning the block outside your school into a car-free playground and World Cup celebration. Now until June 26, you’ll find Soccer Streets in front of 50 public schools across all five boroughs. Let’s play!

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

Our president is a “vaccines cause autism” conspiracy theorist. God help us all.

Austin TX kid taken by ICE weeks before he graduates high school. If you were horrified by Minnesota, give here.

I’m aware this is news to CBS and this dude but we were literally shouting about this a year ago, it’s not unearthed, and it’s even stupider than you think: the cruise ships paid their salaries. It literally paid more than it cost. We gave money back rather than control disease because RFK

The land use surrounding Dallas City Hall is really… something

I went here and everybody knew you

If you're a young leftist looking for an inspirational model for politics and can't come up with anyone better than Stalin or Mao I'm going to encourage you to read a second book.

I love cities because I get glimpses of creativity like this every day. Austin gives an abundance of musical moments in particular. (Also please appreciate those cyclists using our public bikeshare and cruising past all the cars! 😇)

Watch Austin — not because of all the splashy, big stuff we’ve done in recent years. Watch Austin because the advocacy is now shifting to handle the fixes, the tweaks, the technical bits. This is the really meaningful stuff that good legislative bodies take seriously. Watch Austin.

Louisiana is a fascist state.

“I correctly identified a basic animal,” brags the president of the United States

a reminder that a lot of the things people find unpleasant about cities - along with the noise and dirtiness - are largely a product of filling them with cars. get rid of the cars and the pleasantness of the environment improves dramatically

I regret ever having supported this man in my younger, more naïve/ignorant libertarian days. I have changed as I’ve learned a lot. But it’s also clear Rand Paul has only gotten worse.

Banksy strikes again.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

Surely this is all coincidence

Surely this is all coincidence

It's such a breath of fresh air to see @aoc.bsky.social stand against gutting our tax base.

So excited to read @carterlavin.bsky.social's new book! It's been on my list since it was announced, and it's going to be incredible to dig in with the UAR crew.

UT San Antonio continues to do incredible things. As the city becomes a destination for researchers + students alike, we have to ask: Where will they live? How will they stay connected here? We need to aggressively pursue a visionary, transformative transit- and housing-forward strategy ASAP.

I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but: we still don’t know who the target was or what the motive is Uh yea there’s a good chance it was trump cuz he was there and is the fucking president but… you only know what you know at any given moment so…. Report/act accordingly

How is this allowed to happen when the president of the United States will be in attendance?

😐😐😐

Holy shit

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

“RFK is a eugenicist who believes that people with chronic health conditions deserve to die preventable deaths” is a plain fact that the news media cannot or will not tell the public.

Join us this Friday for a guest-hosted meeting featuring Amy De Luna and Austin McDaniel! We'll discuss Chapter 6 of Solidarity Cities — Bulwarks: Build and Defend the Solidarity City. 📖

They think you're stupid.

This @versobooks.bsky.social book 👇 will be of wide interest - tracing the weird fixation on the Frankfurt School by the far right I'm guessing @mattfluck.bsky.social will have views.... www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

There is a moral & economic imperative for cities (& state legislatures) to fix this btw. Politicians cannot claim to be environmentalists, care about housing, be seen as budget hawks, etc if their city or state makes it easier to build the drive thru instead of the housing ⬇️

Oh wow, this is huge. You used to have to go to the Library of Congress to get most of this.

“Koch brother groups have tried to derail public transit plans in other cities around the country, from Little Rock, Arkansas and central Utah, to Nashville and Michigan. They have frequently called such projects ‘wasteful spending’. The Koch organization is also heavily invested in fossil fuels.”

This kills me every time

The instrumentalization of life here should shock us, let alone the bitter irony of doing that to defeat our own sick and subversive inventions

It really should not be a tough situation. I was Catholic when Trump was elected the first time, and I didn’t support him or vote for him then. It was abundantly clear that, as a matter of faith, I could not support him. It’s only gotten clearer since.

JD Vance on Epstein Files: "I don't want powerful people being involved in this disgusting behavior. But I have to defend the President on this"

This data utter decimates Jonathan Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory, with his core claim that conservatives care more about "binding" values that hold societies together. Their disregard for the health of the whole community they live in couldn't be clearer, justified in individualist terms. 1/2

Long day, still lifted heavy things, please clap

A glimmer of hope? My Catholic grandmother (lifelong Republican), who does not engage in family gc politics, emphatically denouncing the latest Trump post

I would like JD Vance to campaign HARD in Texas. For every Republican candidate. Please.

the Soros conspiracy coming from Elon in particular is just embarrassing. you’re worth like 80x what Soros is buddy, if you thought he was buying elections you could snap your fingers and fix it.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

Since joining the housing movement for work, I have often been the ONLY person who is not a woman on my teams, and I've never been on a team with more than 33% of teammates who identify as men, even/especially as they grew 😱

HOUSTON! @bikehouston.bsky.social is facilitating an ebike rebate program. Applications open Friday, April 10. Houston is where I first joined the ebike revolution. The city is great for it. Highly recommend learning and loving Space City anew on an ebike! 🚲
