Investing in transit is an easy win. Common sense still applies of course, spend that money efficiently, but even the worst transit investment beats the best highway expansion.

Yes, let's mock bros in their stupid Child Crusher 5000s and soccer moms in their Grand Wagoneers, but there are plenty of lower-income, car dependent people who don't have other options and don't have the money to absorb sustained increases in gas prices.

Americans are addicted to cars, but in many ways it's a forced addiction. Decades of policy have made cars the dominant mode of travel at the expense of others, and marketing reinforces the car as the "best" choice. This isn't to excuse individual choices, but car dependency is a systemic issue.

These pix sum it up. I don't get the fear-mongering about "15-min. cities" back in the US. (Uh, something about herding sheeple into corrals.) Here in Tokyo, I can get the basics done w/in a 10-min. walk of home. My choices increase greatly when I cycle & grow exponentially when I take mass transit.

congressional democrats didn't give a fuck that we double tapped an elementary school last week with tomahawk missles and killed almost 200 little kids but they're about to express the purest outrage today because Line Go Down

Batshit crazy Christians have repeatedly announced the IMMINENT arrival of The Rapture, even giving specific dates... which have long since expired. So what's going to happen if Israel DOES get destroyed and Jesus doesn't appear?

Late last year, a white supremacist dating platform was hacked and its users leaked. One of those users is Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who CAHN has linked to thousands of posts made on far-right forums between 2019 and 2024. 🧵 www.antihate.ca/air_force_ma...

Complex speculations about Trump's foreign policy miss the point. On all fronts, at all times, Trump aims to do just one thing: to continuously project strength via violence. He aims to normalize extrajudicially murdering people so that he can eventually kill *you,* as well, should the need arise.

Both sides of the USA / Iran war have absolutely no problem with killing innocent children.

I need some opinions... y'all already know I like to go with a limited muted palette for my manga, but this time around I was thinking of adding some screen tones. what do you like better? toned or solid colors?

I'm gonna level with you folks: the fact that Americans keep discussing atrocities in terms of "this might influence the midterms" is perhaps one of the most obnoxious and disgusting parts about existing online with Americans.

Yeah. And it's run on slave labor.

It's now raining oil in Tehran as the US/Israeli attacks have caused "nuclear winter" like conditions. These are daytime photos - as you can see the sun completely blacked out. This is not liberation. This is generational extinction of life

Man, fuck daylight savings I usually wake up before my alarm and feel fine This morning, my alarm caught me snoozing peacefully and I was so surprised that I flailed and ended up punching my also previously sleeping wife

Trump is threat to every human being on this planet. His gift is death and chaos. He works to accelerate climate change, he is wedded to increasing pollution and his cruelty is unbounded. His presidency is marked by murderous wars and immense suffering #BoycottTrump #BoycotttheUSA

Permanent DST would be awful and result in increased deaths- anyone with a morning job/school would be waking/commuting in darkness for most of the year. Like it only *just* got back to being light out "early", now it's fucking dark again.

Bingoooooooo All it is is a way to destabilize and torture people through sleep deprivation and schedule manipulation.

The way the sun is finally up at a reasonable hour and it's back to dark ass mornings is just fucking cruel. We're really lucky that we can operate our schedules on daylight and not the clock but it still gives the feeling of "running late". Like how is it already 08:13? The fuck did my morning go?

The pain crushes my chest,&my body is worn down by injury. I urgently need surgery My wife suffers from a leaky heart valve and a painful shoulder inflammation,&my kids face hunger&cold every day Please Don’t Ignore My Message to raise 250$🥹😭 Vetted @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/lobnah

I've never understood any of the justifications for changing the time To me, it's nothing less than an abuse of power. A way to tell people: we can do whatever we want, including messing with the very tim you have use to measure your day

"Some babies need to be trafficked" "If you don't live in a city you're evil" "If you can't afford gender affirming care or you're non-binary you're not really trans" With leftists like these, who needs fascists?

We are so cold 💔😭 We are so cold 💔😭 We are so cold 💔😭 I need 150$ to buy a tent for my family 💔 Any donation, no matter how small, could save a life my family 🙏💔 @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1634...

I hope all y'all that want permanent DST realize you're advocating for the morning work/school commute to be done in darkness for a significant part of the year, and *most* of the school year. Better start paying firefighters, jerks.

These needs still haven't been met- could one of y'all that never reposts please bother to today? You might make the difference.

This is why I laugh when people buy new trucks. This fucker's only $7k

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. Happy International Women's Day from both of us. He writes, "Believe me, the last time I remembered this day was in 2023. / The war came and distracted us from many things we used to celebrate." Let's make sure his family will have a beautiful Eid at least.

He says he needs about $400 to buy clothes for the kids (seven in total), on top of everything he needs to buy enough food for 13 people. Can we help him reach his goal? Please share and donate if you're able to. Any amount can make a difference.

I’ve really lost support for Spark and I don’t know why. I used to send them something every week. Now it’s $200 every two weeks. Their operational costs per week are over $1,300. That money is donated by Palestinians in Gaza. I’m trying to get a fraction of that pledged as recurring donations.

What is the purpose of #IWD2026 ? Who are we as women in 2026 so long as women like those in Nabi Chit are martyred as the vanguard for the last ounce of dignity and humanity in the world?

We in Gaza are still living under annihilation every day; a suffocating siege, skyrocketing prices, and severe shortages of food and water, even during Ramadan. 💔🇵🇸 Your donation, no matter how small, can help us secure our basic needs and survive. Donate and save us.⬇️🕊️💸 chuffed.org/project/157281

Please stop to save me🚨 I'm still tired until now😭 My health is very tired& tired💔 I can't bring the medicines because of their high prices And I have to drink the medicine because my health is very tired😭 Please, any important donation,it was simple, it will save my life🙏 tinyurl.com/4pyj5dmd

I am not a beggar. I am a human being who had everything stolen — my home, my safety, and my children’s peace. When I ask for help, I am claiming my right to live with dignity, not to be buried alive under poverty, cold, and silence. - Sama’a 🤍 @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/157569

MY CHILD WILL DIE😭 My child Ahmed is very weak and has lost all appetite.He suffers before my eyes from a dangerous virus that threatens his life. He urgently needs food, vitamins, medicine.My heart is broken and I feel helpless… please help, any donation can save him.💔🙏 chuffed.org/project/mahm...

My little daughter Aryam needs your compassionate hearts — she urgently needs medicine 💊,milk 🍼,and diapers 🧷. Wesham and Hanan need food, and my husband’s mother needs medicine. We are going through very difficult circumstances, and any support can make a big difference🙏💔 chuffed.org/project/omsham

Just read this article about Rafah and Iearnt that Israel’s absurd restrictions on the city meant kids had to go through tunnels to see their grandparents during Eid otherwise if they went above ground, they’d risk being kidnapped or shot. 2004. www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/ra...

The thing about mutual aid is that it requires you to get out of a hierarchical mindset where those in need are below you, not your peers, & you can't assist because they're not worthy humans. If you're privileged get out of only hanging with the privileged & meet some social scum eye to eye.

In about a week a lot of you are going to be very upset about the fact that it still freezes and snows in spring, a thing that has always been true. The end of snow is *summer*, not spring, and that does not start until mid June.

I need MLs and Marxists to understand that shit like "Karl Marx was right about everything" is nothing but cultist-speak; The first step towards forming a good leftist understanding of the world is acknowledging that no human alive or dead was ever "right about everything".

Personally, I think that if a single person in a society sleeps rough or goes to bed hungry, that society has failed. And each person who has to sleep rough or go to bed hungry is yet another failure of that society, not of the individual. So like, America has always been a failed state.

The U.S. is now, as it has been since the colonizing centuries leading up to its invention, utterly fucking evil and deserves nothing more, or less, than the collective & specific traumas and havoc it has unleashed on the world for 250 years.
