In todays adventures in car-lite living, we rode bikes to the community garden and picked up a bag of mulch from a friend on the way. Oh the places you can go when theres infrastructure to do so.

My husband and I test drove a minivan yesterday and the car itself was great but the experience at the dealership was so profoundly terrible that we never want to buy a vehicle again. I now understand why something like Carvana is still around.

I often daydream about the America that could’ve been if the auto industry hadn’t blocked real mass transit. Like, what if we could just hop on a train to get anywhere? And that’s just one fork in the road. What other pivotal decisions have we made along the way that would’ve changed everything?

Jeff Van Drew’s support has been “critical” to the Vineland data center. We’re fighting back against corporations driving up energy bills and hurting our environment. We need a moratorium on AI data centers and leaders who stand with working families, not big corporations.

astronauts on the moon. affordable college for everybody. building a ton of housing for families. vaccines to end cancers. we can have all this cool stuff if you just vote for the people that want to do it. we can do so much great stuff. put down your anger. great things are right there.

I went to buy a 12-pack of Diet Coke and I shit you not it was more expensive than a 12-pack of High Life. The audacity to charge that much for soda.

this is why I reserve most of my annoyance with dems for those who are actually in power (supermajority blue cities/states) and are in fact doing nothing or making things worse

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

Hell isn’t deep enough.

GET ARRESTED

Start making calls. If you’re in NJ heres some numbers

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

The ultimate sub-compact family vehicle. #bikesky

We should redesign cities for autonomous kids, not autonomous cars.

Your daily reminder that we can make big seemingly hard changes and we will be better for it.

People in my city would kill you if you even suggested this, ripping down a highway

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

Personally i think congress and the press should stop enabling him BEFORE he uses a nuclear weapon

At some point, you must rely on the people you have elected to make a call. Who’s gonna fund a project that’s subject to late-stage direct-democracy?

What is a group of peeps called? A legion of peeps? A murder of peeps?

Grateful to the William J. Hughes Center at Stockton University for inviting me to talk with students about the Iran war and share my experience at the State Department on the Iran policy team and at USAID!

Here's the ultimate solution to this—and all future—oil price shocks: The Non-Polluting, Autonomy-Building, Fitness-Enhancing, Non-Middle-East-Oil-Burning, Happiness-Producing, Self-Driven Vehicle.

Not knocking the employees but TSA is security theater and this is not a thing anywhere else.

In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year. And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone. “All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”

Oh hey we did a thing! As part of the Executive Board for the Woolwich Township Democrats Club, I am proud to endorse @winder4congress.bsky.social for #NJ-02! All politics are local, find your local dems club and get involved.

Behold the carrying capacity of an Urban Arrow in the suburbs of NJ where gas is $4.18 per gallon today. #bikesky

$4/gal gas and rising and here I am looking up how to insure and register my e-bike because @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social has its priorities ass backwards.

The current 6-day Jeopardy champion works at a housing tax credit agency in New Jersey and for his banter with Ken he just looked directly at the camera and said "New York, California, shame on you, build more housing" and folks when I say heroes walk among us

Three of my favorite quotes are from Tony. Go watch his youtube channel Crime Pays but Botany Doesn’t and plant some native plants in your yard this spring.

Weekends are for trips to the ice cream store by bike 🚲🚲

"700 children are killed EVERY SINGLE DAY in car crashes."

we’re about to learn why them cars were small to begin with

When I ride with my toddler son, we can have a conversation about what we see, say hi to neighbors and easily explore the neighborhood. We can’t do any of that in the car because we are sealed off from the world.

If all people are equal under the law, than "a bus with 100 people has a right to 100 times as much road as a car."

The only reason BlueSky even exists is that it's essentially Twitter methadone.

I didnt make it to #NoKings but I did lead a community garden(s) cleanup today so 💪

Rokin, Amsterdam in 1979 and today

This cat is so ridiculous it almost makes the 4am wake up face taps worth it. (I haven’t slept through the night in weeks, thanks Mollie).

You know what I've never seen in a Cybertruck? A passenger.

NYT editorial board issues a full-throated endorsement of congestion pricing: "Over its first 14 months, the [NYC] congestion pricing system has exceeded even the high hopes of many supporters. It has reduced traffic, improved the quality of life and even provided a boost for businesses."

This is brilliant. Pass it on.

I have no interest in this man’s problems

baseball is back

Almost 3 year old is in his root cause analysis phase (asking why 850 times per hour).

6abc in Philly shared a video on fb in which a drunk driver killed 3 people. In the comments people are lamenting dangerous driving and deaths from cars. It is a choice to accept this in our society. We choose to hand licenses back to people and call it an accident. It does not have to be this way.

the perfect bike accessory does not exis...

Gas prices need to go higher the sound of the Turnpike is drowning out the peeper frogs.

PEEPER FROGS ARE HERE! 🐸🐸🐸

I don’t share photos of my kids face on social media and I just had my paranoia confirmed on fb by an onlyfans account reposting a photo of my kid in the urban arrow. So uh, don’t share photos of your kids on the internet. Theres also no way to remove their repost without taking the photo down.

Don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth
