appropos all the silly online debates we have about housing and car culture, here's today's headline on Realtor Dot Com: www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup. If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock. www.thedriverlessdigest.com/p/what-cpuc-...

Back in 2019, @ntsbnewsroom.bsky.social did a bike safety report. They analyzed a big sample of US cyclist fatalities, and found that a plurality were hit from behind by a driver away from an intersection. You can’t VC your way out of that. They recommended separated bike lanes to mitigate risk.

Between 2010 and 2023, yearly #deaths caused by #cars and trucks striking #pedestrians rose 70 percent So much for #VisionZero #transportation @oregondot.bsky.social @bikeportland.org www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

How Faux news (aka #Fox) Trumped up the fantasy of a #WarRavagedPortland #ICE #Trump #Immigration www.propublica.org/article/port...

NYT had details of Trump's engagement with Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking and *hid it for him*, at the same time it was crucifying Clinton as untrustworthy due to her document retention & security.

Huge H/T to @jonseidel.bsky.social‬ for this real time coverage of U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis's absolute smack down of #Trump #DOJ #ICE Ellis also finds that the feds' use of force in #Chicago "shocks the conscience."

Kudos to #Maine for soundly rejecting the anti-democratic Ballot Measure 1. It would have adding a voting ID requirement and adjusting absentee voting regulations. #voting #democracy

This piece by @adambonica.bsky.social is a crucial read. The @nytimes.com editorial board leans into their priors in their own recent editorial on the need for moderation to win. As @adambonica.bsky.social suggests the story is more complicated. 1/ data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-new-yo...

The week in review from #WarRavagedPortland protests at #ICE facility ICE PROTESTS Horses, choirs and frogs "On Tuesday night, dozens of protesters danced salsa and a person dressed as Moses walked around with a sign promising a plague of frogs." reader.theoregonian.com/horses-choir...

BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit administratively stays the panel’s 2-1 order staying the initial TRO in Oregon v. Trump through 5p PT Tuesday. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... The initial Oregon TRO is not stayed. A resolution on en banc consideration is expected(?) to happen by 5p Tuesday.

"..government “admitted that 115 FPS officers have never been redeployed to Portland,” Only a fraction of that number “was ever” in Portland ..urged the panel to throw out their ruling [due to] the government’s “material mistake.” @chrisgeidner.bsky.social #PDX #ICE #DOJ shorturl.at/B9R1B

Justice Sotomayor with a graphic dissent as the Supreme Court allows Alabama to move forward with the execution of Anthony Boyd by lethal gas:

Not news to anyone with kids or those who work with kids 😂 "Adjusted virus detection rates were highest in pre-K (1.46) and elementary (1.51)" Consistent "with older research that found that young kids play a key role in spreading respiratory viruses at home.” publications.aap.org/pediatrics/a...

Good reason to #walk, #cycle, use #public #transit....and for government to invest in the related infrastructure. And it's good for the #environment #Car ownership costs $12,182 per year or $1,015 per month on average, according to a 2023 #AAA report wapo.st/4npPXlK

Ongoing mainstream media coverage further demonstrates that #Trump #ICE characterization of #WarRavagedPortland protests at facility are "untethered from the facts". The 2 Ninth Circuit #MAGA judges should read this rather than rely on #TruthSocial. reader.theoregonian.com/the-scene-in...

Important: Sen Chris Murphy just sent pointed questions to Kristi Noem about DHS's account of shooting of US citizen by Trump's paramilitary forces in Chicago. The official line is imploding. Murphy wants Noem to explain why DHS misled. More like this, Ds. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2019...
