Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7 km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change. Streets for people are good for business.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Thomas Massie: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we’re yelling ‘election fraud’? We won all the damn elections.”

The fact that I didn’t question this kind of behavior until I was 50 just shows how brainwashed we are by Big Oil and Big Auto.

Please, while driving, watch out for bicycles. This week, Boston lost Louisa Gag, local biking activist, nature enthusiast & friend to everyone she met. Today, my city's heart is broken. Please be careful out there. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

How can this be real

🤣🤣

Regulations help consumers.

True.

Democrats need to distance themselves from people like this.

🤣🤣

My guess is in a short while he will declare himself a Republican because the Democratic Party is a woke mob.

the biggest positive story on climate is that it doesn’t seem to matter how much of the world is run by reactionary fascists: the rise of solar is unstoppable

🤣🤣

How much do I love that the corrupt, pos FIFA bowed to shitler, and the US mens team LOST anyway? Very, very much. That's how much. Every single thing he touches DIES.

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

Double bus lanes on Madison Avenue and an offset bus lane on Lexington Avenue will make commutes faster and more reliable for 163,000 New Yorkers. We congratulate DOT on getting these twin projects done, and we hope to see similar haste for bus priority projects across the city!

Yes.

Has any politician in history been worse at reading the room than Hakeem Jeffries? “Yay for Trump’s corruption! Kickbacks get the job done!”

Honestly feels more like incompetence than deception, just still…

We’ve always known that climate change would affect the most vulnerable. Now we are seeing it.

New separated cycle lanes popping up on Shaftesbury Ave. All it takes is political will + the removal of some unnecessary parking spaces. London is becoming a cycling city, reflecting a generational shift that recognises driving in urban areas as slow, inefficient use of time.

This is one of the most delightful cat threads on this website. I would go to war for Jim.

Needless to say, some of the greatest anti-Communists were Social Democrats. Trump wouldn’t know since he never was an anti-Communist—he wanted to cut business deals with the Soviet Union and admired the brutal repression of the Chinese regime.

THREAD. A collection of photos I have taken of excellent cats I have met on walks. You will find the captions to the photos in the alt text.

A reminder: the largely admirable nation the "Founding Fathers" announced 250 years ago denied the vote to all women, most minorities, many poor whites. It enabled slavery, forbade laws to curb it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 If you're not a rich white guy and you have rights - thank a liberal

Mamdani’s speech here is excellent (video link in article):

Obama won, yet again. 🏆 He threw a concert, people actually showed up, and had a damn good time.

🇺🇸🇺🇸

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

Tell me again how Biden stuttered?

Hahaha

This makes me so sick. Happy birthday America!

A good man.

“I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” ~ James Baldwin

Wow.

😮😮

When the environment and animals are treated as expendable resources or commodities, we can be absolutely certain that (some) humans will also be classified as such resources and also be collectively expended. It is inevitable.

Could not agree more.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

speaking of Moses

Please!

No mention of pro-Israel and corporate funding, no mention of capitalist ideology—just ‘good-faith’ worry over what will play in Purple America. - by @ahjohnson.bsky.social

No member of Congress should be able to profit off the stock market while in office, and if you can’t agree to that, you have no business being in public office.
