People who ride their bikes on the sidewalks should get 2-way protected bike lanes

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

Okay who has e cargo bike recommendations under $3k? Ideally able to carry another adult as well. Thanks!

In addition to purging the Army Chief of Staff Randy George, Hegseth also fired Gen. William Green Jr., the chief of Army chaplains who happens to be Black. I can’t even begin to count how many Black officers he’s sacked. You can bet his replacement will be a white Christian nationalist.

Hegseth purge of Black and women officers larger than previously reported "Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for MORE THAN A DOZEN Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Motorists become confused about whether they can park in bike lanes because police departments make it de facto legal to do so when traffic laws are not enforced. Also, bike lanes should be constructed so they are protected from cars!

Enough for basically every US household to have gotten solar power installed. Let that sink in.

A 3rd of the world's fertilizer travels through the Strait of Hormuz—assisting world-wide food production. For the sake of EGO & radicalism—they have disrupted people's right to EAT & survive. Extremist religions are TRASH. We need a united front against all 3 of them for endangering the world. 🧵

Our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is trying to suppress the vote in the midterms. Silence isn't an option. Join us on Saturday to make No Kings Day big, loud, and inescapable: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

We all need to put a spotlight on Russell Vought, the Project 2025 architect dismantling our constitution and government. There is not enough attention paid to this quiet lunatic.

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

A modern Green New Deal framework can address affordability and climate simultaneously, and this is the platform Democrats should run on, writes @daxx.bsky.social.

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

Car dependency is an extremely inequitable way to structure society. In places where car ownership is optional, low and high income households spend roughly an equal % of income on transportation. In car dependent places, transportation costs are 4x higher for low income households.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.

Sometimes I think about how both of my grandfathers served this country and how I’m glad they’re not here to see Pete Hegseth make a mockery of the world’s greatest military by caking bronzer all over his smarmy face before railing about DEI to distract from his own failures

Another hush money payment.

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

An emergency

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

I miss having a president who stood up to Putin.

We can afford healthcare for all We can afford childcare for all We can afford education for all We can afford housing for all We can afford living wages for all We can afford green energy for all We don’t have those things because a handful of evil old men spend that money waging endless war.

Trump signed an EO benefitting Bayer, the makers of cancer-linked weedkiller Roundup and deadly munitions component white phosphorus. It came after Bayer hired top Trumpworld lobbyist Brian Ballard and spent over $9M last year on federal lobbying. "Drain the swamp."

Just a reminder that we don’t need to change any federal laws to stick with standard time. Your state legislator could restore sanity tomorrow.

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
