The arc of history is a foot-long, but it bends towards justice.

Service-led planning is exactly for use cases like this! The whole region should be playing moneyball to squeeze performance improvements wherever they can be found. And by “performance” I mean better experiences for riders. @seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social @dereksagehorn.bsky.social

The story is the government gets the cut, but how does that even work, number one? And number two, how does he personally get the grift? Is there some paper intermediary that holds the stock and funnels him the cash? Anybody have a guess? Or know?

You’re god damn fucking right this is how you do it.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @democrats.org don’t fumble this while you’re on the goal line. Last night proves you have the people on your side so long as you keep fighting. Republicans will fold—they’re losing and they know it. People blame them for this mess. Keep holding out.

Mayor-elect Mamdani announces co-chairs of his transition team: Maria Torres-Springer, Lina Khan, Grace Bonilla and Melanie Hartzog All women.

But will it (literally) play in Peoria?

Lack of pedestrians often indicates unsafe infrastructure, not the fact that people prefer driving 3 blocks.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Word on the Hill: Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, and other centrist Democrats want to end the shutdown. Every poll shows Republicans are losing this fight. Secure the ACA subsidies. We do not capitulate to a fascist tyrant and especially not when we’re winning you morons. Blow up their fucking phones.

As we're remembering that Dick Cheney killed a million Iraqis, remember that the death toll from cutting USAID funding will be still larger than that. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Buckling now would make this entire painful endeavor worthless -- pain for pain's sake, without value, without resolution. So if one of these senators is yours, yell at them not to buckle.

California climate orgs need to take a hard look at all the ostensibly environmental regulatory bodies of our state and why they've all been captured by fossil interests. From the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, to CARB, to the Coastal Conservancy. www.calbike.org/response-to-...

I could not agree more than I do with this statement!

If you lose, the mission is to keep organizing for the change you want to see. And if you win, the mission is to keep organizing for the change you want to see.

Politely, they can go fuck themselves.

I don’t know how John Oliver gets to do this great work, but I’m damn glad he does. Especially on this topic. Please watch! youtu.be/wVFXUkFx5Y8?...

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO.  This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting. 

With quotes from the inimitable @sgoodyear.bsky.social! The costs of cars are everywhere around us, as cars are everywhere around us…

If killing your grandmother through rank mismanagement of the COVID crisis and then faking the numbers count for separate accomplishments. Also, separately counting each woman he sexually harassed…

This week I had someone tell me they're not worried about SNAP being cut off because "that's illegal, so it's impossible Trump could do that, so obviously it's just media sensationalism." Another person told me they weren't worried about ICE because "they can't detain you if you're legally here."

It's scary how cute Park Slope was tonight. Happy Halloween, NYC.

As we suspected they would do. Privateers at large in the US

A summary of the BS happening in the senate ⤵️

Editor’s Note: eliminating the bike lane does not “ease traffic” www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

Evil, but also weak. Weak, but also, evil.

Super exciting that so much can be done at once using low cost methods. More please!!!

Tragedy after tragedy, and completely preventable

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.

This state ebike rebate program was such a clusterf**k all the way through. Meanwhile similar, locally-organized programs on the county & city level have been very successful. If anything, the state funding should have just been redistributed to the local programs.

Brad Lander, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social!

What this person is saying is that this entirely innocent man was tortured to the point that he spiraled into death. ICE is brutal in the streets with cameras rolling, and yes, they are far worse when out of sight.

💯

Truly, one of the greats

Boiled down to a single post!

More potential right-wing political violence, again targeting women of color. Fascist weasels need to be brought to justice.

That whole second graph is worth the read.

Yep! Great show, btw

"What are you going to do, shoot me? I would die for this shit." Until congress responds with the rage, fear, and courage of this man, they are letting me down and they are letting you down.

Private prison executives casually discussed the "3,000 arrests per day" quota in earnings calls—despite the Department of Justice previously denying any quota exists. This is fueling immigration raids nationwide while companies rake in record profits.

Great event! Thanks all! And BUY THE BOOK!

Agree

The economics principle behind bad traffic can be used to create good traffic. I wrote about INDUCED DEMAND for @fastcompany.com 👇 www.fastcompany.com/91418253/eco...

We talk about how we want vibrant third spaces, like the plazas of Europe, but Maia touches on the underlying truth: severe inequality in the US, and affluent distaste/avoidance of the underclass, stands in the way. Social isolation upholds social stratification to the disadvantage of everyone.

When will California get serious about reckless driving?
