"In one of Oulu's biggest schools Metsokangas, more than 90% of the children get to school by bike or on foot, according to the school's headteacher, even during the coldest winter months." Oulu and Joensuu invested in cycling infrastructure and all-season maintenance. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

“Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology” is the pull-quote here. 🔥 This is great.

Yep.

Berkeley moves to strengthen sanctuary status, defying Trump administration’s pressure

🚨BAD RIDERS MOVING🚨 Late last night, the Republican-controlled Appropriations Committee advanced their Labor, Health, & Education FY26 funding bill out of committee—including 9 anti-LGBTQI+ riders. Our members will keep fighting to keep these riders from becoming law.

RFF Jr. has been in this job for months… and he can’t answer how many Americans died of COVID or if the vaccine saved any lives? It’s unbelievable and I’ll keep pushing for him to resign.

In particular, I don't think Montana has gotten enough credit for their big time 🥳 parking reform 🥳 For all intents of purposes, the state's 10 largest city's can no longer require parking for multifamily buildings!

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Watch @kendallyb.bsky.socialtalk show was how Kristi Noem is living rent free in military housing that is reserved for coast guard leadership in order to better hide her affair with Corey Lewandowski. This is causing a ripple effect to active duty service members not getting base housing

There are some words in here about how the Black population of SW Berkeley has declined, but they don't grapple with the fact that that was intentional. The 1963 city council voted to down-zone the area to R-1 specifically to head off the possibility that Black home owners would build a triplex.

📌 Be the one calling them out. History has it’s eyes on us.

Pretty sure if Biden had flown a man convicted of three murderers from Venezuela to the U.S. and set him loose in an American city, it would have dominated the headlines for weeks. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/w...

Wow! Espana!

Mr Kennedy just incited a shooter at Emory University and the CDC. Make sure that you know that MAGA kills people every day in the USA and around the globe with their hate and policies. #GOPkillsEveryDay

Allowing more homes near high-quality transit is a key strategy to make housing more abundant & affordable, increase transit ridership & reduce traffic congestion & pollution. I’m authoring legislation to get this done. SB 79 will help California meet our housing, transit & climate goals.

Three Chiefs of Staff, four former Shin Bet Directors, three former Mossad Chiefs, five former Police Commissioners, and four former Heads of Military Intelligence in an unprecedented joint statement: “End the war in Gaza. Bring the hostages home - all at once!” ht: @ntarnopolsky.bsky.social

Listen to this idiotic MF.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.” ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social

Wut a maroon.

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

There have been a lot of terrible days in the last year, but August 1 stands out for how clarifying it was in its shitiness.

More data in favor of safe bike infrastructure.

Repugnant. Repulsive. Fascism.

Helsinki has had zero road fatalities in the last year. That's not a coincidence. The city has made major investments in cycling and pedestrian infrastructure and more than half of its streets now have a 30 km/h speed limit. Source: yle.fi/a/74-20174831 Image by Tapio Haaja on Unsplash
