42 House Democrats voted to reauthorize warrantless surveillance powers for Trump. Why is a single Democrat voting for this? If Democrats all voted NO, it would have failed because of 22 GOP NO votes.

Zero workers quoted & only a wanking motion reference to “workers who will be inconvenienced by the shift” in the **15th** paragraph Our billionaire corporate overlords & our billionaire owned media despise you Time for another story about how economists can’t figure out why we hate everything

My favorite part of driving in Massachusetts is how every other intersection immediately makes you think "I wonder how many people died here"

#OtD 29 Apr 1916 the leaders of the Irish Easter Rising against British rule surrendered unconditionally at 16 Moore Street in Dublin. 16 leaders of the rising were subsequently executed. The brutal response by Britain spurred support for independence stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1006...

#OtD 29 Apr 1945 the body of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was dumped in Milan's Piazzale Loreto, where partisans were massacred by the Gestapo the previous year. His body was attacked by the crowd until it was hung up. More in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e77-...

People keep talking about e-bikes, e-trikes, e-scooters, and other power-assisted mobility like they are toys, shortcuts, or something to sneer at. But for a lot of people they are freedom machines. They turn impossible trips into possible ones. They turn pain into manageability, distance into

We’re now at almost 3°F of fossil fueled global heating Just what we need, more studies

Why don’t cyclist use the cycle lane? #405.

In California, we would still be in the middle of environmental review to figure out whether fewer cars and more bikes would help or harm the air quality.

Massachusetts lawmakers will not solve online safety by sacrificing their constituents' First Amendment and privacy rights. Instead, they should support comprehensive data privacy and digital literacy education measures that would help all users use the internet safely. www.eff.org/document/ef...

Riding my bike, I was just hit by a car that blew a red light - in the MIDDLE of the light cycle - on Sandy Blvd. I am okay. Two witnesses saw the whole thing stayed (legends). I got lucky. We shouldn't rely on luck to keep us alive. We need policy, budgeting, and infrastructure change.

Being a cyclist is terrifying because you'll ride by a long line of stopped cars, peer into each car, and see everyone playing on their phones. Then you have to hope they'll get off their phones and not run you over.

"It has arrived, oh feeble ones, the time for my automobile to barrel through your vicinity and announce my prowess—my vital and irrefutable masculinity. How is it that you know of my unquestioned and eternal virility? I have a vehicle that goes vroom vroom!"

This is a crime against all living beings in the world.

Vance running out of there like a tight end catching a check down pass in the open. Trump takes ten seconds to get up and promptly falls over.

Yglesias‘ business model is trolling both sides for engagement Yglesias‘ business model is trolling both sides for engagement (This is why his post starts “right academia is bad” before pivoting to “left academia is bad.”)

Rep. Jake Auchincloss uses generative “AI” to create slop for his kids instead of actual bedtime stories, which might be the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. www.notus.org/congress/dem... #Massachusetts #mapoli @repauchincloss.bsky.social

Ignoring objections from a wide spectrum of community members, LGBTQ+ advocates, and digital privacy experts, my opponent Rep Marjorie Decker voted for this bill. We need representatives who bring our communities into the decision-making process on decisions that affect us all.

The High Cost of Free Parking, car dependency, and lack of traffic enforcement all in one article Again Boston abdicating curb management. We need loading zones and 15 minute pickup spots so lots of people can use the curb. And expect tickets if you cheat www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/24/m...

“A #Massachusetts State Police trooper [Wendel Seney] accused of assaulting a woman several times over the course of a turbulent relationship was indicted by a grand jury late last month, records show.”

“A Shrewsbury, #Massachusetts, police officer was suspended and is now facing criminal charges after he allegedly assaulted his wife and pointed a gun at her, according to a police report.”

Farwell raped and murdered an orphan while wearing a badge. He belongs in a hole where he can't use his law enforcement connections to try and weasel his way out of anything.

Ban lifted pickups, then pass laws so you need a commercial driver's license to operate a regular pickup.

Just as easily could have been an entire family, she wouldn't have seen them either in this murder truck. Why are these street legal?

This bill is dangerous. It does not protect privacy. It lets Big Tech and Telecom do anything they want with your data. And it blows up all state and many federal privacy laws that we already have. Most dangerously, it may nuke all state civil rights laws. Here are some examples: 1/n

This will be the reason why waymo can't handle Boston - our construction zones are even more bonkers

Coverage Denied: How Health Insurers Drive Inequality is finally out in the world! Combining nationwide survey evidence, state administrative data, and 111 interviews with patients, physicians & others, it tells the long-overdue story of coverage barriers and their deepening of burden an inequity.

A look at what the Boston area's new five-year Bluebikes contract means for riders: — Small fare hikes on casual riders (starting today) — Hundreds of additional ebikes — First-ever charging stations — New communities (i.e. Quincy in 2027) www.wbur.org/news/2026/04... @wbur.org

The debate over who gets to regulate AVs and how is just a polite officialese way of characterizing which traffic laws AVs do and don’t have to follow. The idea that AVs will be safe simply because they can be programmed for 100% compliance is false, because we live in this imperfect society.

There's no reason why this man should still have a driver's license

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

“I went ahead and made a browser extension. Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link (even on custom domains) and redirects it to `archive.is`. Substack's numbers go down. You still get to read the thing tho.” what a great workaround 🤗

This is why they shouldn't be given veto power over traffic safety.

We could just ... not let them do this.

Holy Fuck the spontaneous full speed u-turns is right!

We are in the unfiltered cigarette, leaded gasoline, radium paint phase of AI. You know, the part where we let companies kill people for a while until the numbers get big enough that we decide to regulate it.

Governor, your proposed social media legislation would cut many of these Hatian families off from access to lifesaving online resources. Requiring social media companies to verify the age of every user means requiring online ID checks, which are completely unworkable for undocumented families.

Some people want to make children responsible for keeping themselves safe from reckless drivers, with the mantra "safety is a shared responsibility". In the real world, they aren't even safe from reckless drivers inside their schools:
