While some enslaved people did not know about Lincoln's order, many learned of it while the fighting was still ongoing through informal networks, rumors and sometimes from slaveholders themselves. n.pr/3QBz7pk

On this day ten years ago, 49 people were shot and killed and 53 others were wounded at Pulse, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The shooter was armed with a Sig Sauer assault weapon and high-capacity magazines. Most of the victims were both Latino and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

I love to see it when the WSJ acknowledges the benefits of Dutch cycling infrastructure, even if its a letter to the editor instead of a full article. wallstreetjournal-ny.newsmemory.com?publink=49ec...

No matter your line of work, whenever you are in a room with an industry association and discussing work- bring up car dependency, and gently ask what your industry is doing to end it. It moves the needle on people in leadership understanding there is an issue to solve.

Pedestrians - Watch out! Even the Netherlands used to shame pedestrians to promote motordom. They at least realized this as an absurdity of the past and put such propaganda in the Rijksmuseum as a distant memory. @thewaroncars.bsky.social @americanfietser.bsky.social

I arrived in Amsterdam today for a week vacation to bike ride all over the place. I’ve been a few times before, but it has been years. Has anyone ever said just how glorious this place is! Why yes, many have. And yes, it’s not just bikes!

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

Voting is a RIGHT not a PRIVILEGE!

History to know this #PresidentsDay: Ona Judge escaped enslavement from George and Martha Washington in 1796, fleeing the President’s House in Philadelphia for freedom. Now the National Park Service has removed an exhibit telling her story.

Trump belongs in prison.

Awesome event underway with @oaksandspokes.bsky.social in Raleigh, NC

I’m so proud of my my cousin Aviva Hoffmann at DCTV for this outstanding video and narration. Watch If you need uplifting! youtube.com/watch?v=16SZ...

Let’s turn hope into action in 2026, and work towards a blue sweep in the November midterm elections!

People are rightfully concerned concerned about losing voting rights in the USA. Hong Kong shows how true democratic rights can be destroyed silently. False elections where all the choices must be approved by the regime. wallstreetjournal-ny.newsmemory.com?publink=1334...

Traffic engineers designed this road for speed, ignoring (intentional even?) that there is an elementary school and library here that attract people of all ages and abilities, not just abled drivers. No matter the posted limit, average speeds here are around 55. Kids in or out of a car risk death.

How many more children will die here? Zooming out, it is clearly a place where kids SHOULD be welcome! An elementary school on one corner, a library on another, and housing on the other. Why do we choose to build this place “for kids” to be so hostile to kids???? Why do we build car dependency?

The 15 year old was killed at this intersection. Even a casual observer can see it is designed for speed. - 3 forward lanes in every direction. - Every turning move is a conflict. - No bicycle protection whatsoever. - wide turning radius makes crosswalks dangerous.

We have sacrificed yet another child to Traffic Violence. The victim who was a 15 year old girl, cannot speak for herself, as her life was sadly cut short. As strangers we can stand up and demand change. Not doing so is accepting child sacrifice. www.wral.com/news/local/t...

ICE is disguising its vehicles as Uber and Lyft cars. Pass the word

“The notion that American anti-Semitism is an outside influence operation rather than a homegrown menace is a comforting story. Unfortunately, it’s not true,” @yair-rosenberg.bsky.socialwrites. “Foreign actors may exploit our divisions, but they don’t create them”:

A tragic and sad loss for the Wolfpack. Bad driving behavior coupled with subpar car dependent infrastructure caused such horrible harm. This is not acceptable. We MUST stop normalizing this carnage! And she was “hit by a car”? ffs, the driver killed her! abc11.com/post/natalia...

Its a great evening to curl up on the couch with my cat and ‘Life After Cars’ by @thewaroncars.bsky.social, relaxing after a pleasant walk to pick up the book at @quailridgebooks.bsky.social.

Thank you @bikeleague.org for these really awesome stickers. Members of my family are arguing over who gets them, cause they’re so cool. THANKS!

If in Raleigh, plan to show up to stand up as true patriot for American Democracy tomorrow afternoon. We must not allow a further erosion of our liberties by the Administration. www.wral.com/news/local/n...

I’m relieved that in the past few hours, the only new news is about preventable traffic deaths and random gun violence. Maybe the dictatorship won’t have any impact after all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fuck the poors! No more housing can be built for them! wallstreetjournal-ny.newsmemory.com?publink=1109...

How RFK Jr.’s misguided science on mRNA vaccines is shaping policy − a vaccine expert examines the false claims

Look at what a youth e-bike rider did! Speed limiters on all ebikes now!

I am really quite disappointed in the framing by the WSJ of this issue. The comparison is not e bikes vs other bikes, but rather bicycles compared to cars as personal transport. Are cars going to be limited to 15mph? wallstreetjournal-ny.newsmemory.com?publink=2fb1...

When it was a photo of a Palestinian child used to spread misinformation about hunger in Gaza, they amplified it on X. But when it’s an Israeli hostage, emaciated after over 660 days in Hamas captivity? Silence.

BREAKING: The U.S. attacked three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says, joining Israeli air campaign as Tehran promises to retaliate.

Happy Summer from the @raleighgov.bsky.social greenway. Make your summer great again by getting outside and using any new bike/ped infra nearby. This glorious Delk Memorial Bridge over Crabtree Creek is worth a special trip. Thank you @oaksandspokes.bsky.social and those who brought it to life!

The spat between the Nazi car dealer and the fascist dictator is just noise. It’s entirely possible the whole thing is a charade to distract attention from their destruction, whilst entertaining the herd.

The fascists in the Executive branch are now physically attacking the Legislative branch. Judiciary: Its time to step up. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

I’m watching the pop culture hit TV series “The Last of Us”. The premise is a Zombie Apocalypse. Of the many implausible things, one is people would ride horses if all the cars are defunct. We’d be much more likely to ride bikes. Simple, robust, no fuel, widely available, nimble and fast. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

Love them or hate them, roundabouts are safer than traffic signals and stop signs.

Wall Street Journal, welcome to the War on Cars! It is great to see one of our country’s leading newspapers print a serious article about #trafficviolence and how drivers imperil the elderly. wallstreetjournal-ny.newsmemory.com?publink=0c1a... @thewaroncars.bsky.social

I just walked over to @quailridgebooks.bsky.social, the best independent bookstore in NC, and pre-ordered Life After Cars by @sgoodyear.bsky.social and @brooklynspoke.bsky.social of @thewaroncars.bsky.social This is a hint to everyone: Do the same! It is sure to be a best seller, so be early!

This story about the MAGAt Kristi Noem, theoretically the person overseeing our country’s security, having her bag swiped, is just too hilarious. 😂 Wait. The joke is on us. We’re the real mark of the Chief Felon. #FuckFacism

Late last night, an arsonist attacked my friend Gov. Josh Shapiro’s official residence in a reprehensible act. Thanks to law enforcement’s swift action, he and his family are safe. Anna and I are praying for them and the immediate apprehension of the coward who set the fire.

The tariffs are going to cause maximum cost, pain, and disruption, with little benefit economically or for transportation. Raising car prices will just frustrate drivers, without shifting anything about car dependency.

#TrafficViolence strikes again, this time sadly close to home. Pierre-Louis was a student from France, studying abroad here in Raleigh NC with Skema Business School, where I am an adjunct. The entire school community is devastated. Find the driver! www.wral.com/news/local/p...

I’m honestly surprised that there is an acknowledging of a problem. #TrafficViolence is supposed to be ignored, to benefit car advertisements. abc11.com/post/dangero...

#CarsSuck Since my community is designed to be car dependent, I have to have these machines. Today I am waiting at DMV. What a waste of time. I can’t help but notice there’s enough people here spending $$$ to throw a kickin party. Instead we wait in a line angry at being here together.

I ❤️ Zelensky The fascist regime in the White House is trying to destroy the credibility of the USA around the world. Stand strong against Putin and dictatorship.

How to find climate data and science the Trump administration doesn’t want you to see

In spite of the office of the President being disgraced and destroyed by the regime, I will fly my American flag today to honor George Washington. We have to stand tall, and we have to resist, starting by saying this is still our country. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preside...

A reminder to all allies working against the regime. Take care of yourself! Get out and walk, especially if you can displace a car trip. Plus, its incredibly beneficial. www.health.harvard.edu/staying-heal...
