Let's all do a bit!

NEW: The Pike Place PDA reports foot traffic was up 5.4% in 2025 (first year of the pedestrianization pilot) over 2024, 8.5% over 2023.🚶🏼‍♀️📈 They say 2025 was "the strongest year ever for percent rent" (a sales metric based on their tenants income). Overall they were $4.7 million in the black.💲📈

Marco Rubio in 2023

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210. $210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

"litmus test" is just consultant speak for "having beliefs"

No Kings on the Washington coast🌊🦀🚫👑

Redmond is doing the work to build homes & make it easy for people to get around without driving. It is a model for suburbs around the city on how to retrofit. I am so proud to work there and lead in the transportation space!

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Multimodal infrastructure is antifascist.

Best day ever!!! So many happy ppl. The masses crave transit and public amenities. GIVE THE PPL WHAT THEY WANT

And formally, according to our law, Depose him

The ribbon has been cut, which means the Crosslake Connection is officially here and trains are now in service! 🚊🎊 The party is just getting started. 🥳 Learn more about the new connection: www.soundtransit.org/crosslake #CrosslakeConnection #2Line #SoundTransit

Oh hey look, it's a conspiracy of technofascist billionaires to take over our government and remake our society. #TeslaTakedown

Roman statue profile pic incels ask why we don't build cathedrals anymore. Well, this is cathedral enough for me.

Time for new blue state laws that bar people with ICE/CBP work histories in 2025 and 2026 from service in state government, including police departments.

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

Updated: Seattle police officer Denise "Cookie" Bouldin will receive $750,000 from the city in the settlement of her race and gender discrimination lawsuit. PubliCola obtained the information through a records request this morning. publicola.com/2024/02/26/d...

Elon Musk took over Twitter and turned it into the anti-woke, fascist-amplifying X. There’s been debate about whether to stay since he bought it. But seeing how it’s evolved and the recent Grok deepfake scandal, there’s no good argument to stay. I stopped posting there. You should too.

Sharing is for suckers. Empathy is for losers. The only correct worldview is contrarianism.

As horrifying as the Minnesota killing spree stuff was, you need to remember that: that is what they were willing to show you in public: imagine what is happening now behind closed doors and walls.

if your pleasure harms someone then it is a guilty pleasure. like.... who does chocolate pudding or romance novels harm. chill out with the puritanism pleasure makes life worth living in addition to fulfilling work

Currently on France TV, the new mayor of Paris Grégoire celebrating his victory by biking around on a bike share. He’s now taking an interview while riding.

BREAKING: Emmanuel Grégoire @egregoire.bsky.social is the PROJECTED WINNER and next PARIS MAYOR, succeeding Anne Hidalgo (& presumably continuing that legacy). "Paris has decided to remain true to its history” by choosing “the alliance of the left & environmentalists." Congratulations Paris voters!

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

Nice empirical data how upzoning works to reduce prices. By reducing the cost of the land component of housing. Also a good explanation of why one can’t take the observations from upzoning a single parcel and think they work the same for broad upzoning (a fallacy also known as Condonomics).

The second round of Washington's e-bike rebate program is opening for applications on March 30. links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2...

Anyway, "Kill someone with your car and you'll never drive again" is a message that would have immense benefit to society.

Build the damn trains!

Honestly don't even have the words to express how grim this is, but also absolutely the right call by the Danes

Just an update on this - the "ICE arrest" had to do with "leaving a child unattended" with the child going to Child Protective Services, according to SPD. No additional details about the circumstances or why the arrest appears to have involved federal agents.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

Even with all the news organizations and their taking-heads, this is still the best explanation for Trump's predicament I've seen so far.🗽

Geno says good vibes only!

I just...Eugenio Suárez. Having his citizenship application canceled. Getting the game winning hit for Venezuela. Holy shit. I love him so much. I'm so happy he gets this moment.

Baseball is great. Everyone should watch baseball.

No idea what's going to happen in Illinois tonight, but I think we can safely say that almost $100 million spent in a handful of primaries is a full-spectrum disaster for democracy

i'm sorry this is so funny. great stuff www.404media.co/ceo-ignores-...

Really late to the party with this paper, but the implications are massive. Construction worker productivity roughly tracked other manufacturing occupations until the 1970s when local land-use controls began taking off. This killed innovation and made construction workers less productive over time.
