Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse. So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries. It’s your turn.

First the VP, now the Speaker. The just war response is not the gotcha they think it is. I wonder if they can show me where Jesus talked about such things. Hint, it was invented by the medieval church to enshrine the alliance between church and state. It certainly doesn't bind Pope Leo.

With the confidence built through years of mansplaining, JD steps up to explain Catholicism to the Pope.

One a Republican, one a Democrat, this seems like the way a slave state was admitted every time a free slate entered the Union, just to keep Congressional balance. Probably a whole lot more need to leave.

Orban is a better democrat than Trump, and Victor is horrible.

And let's not forget market manipulation.

Because they suck is the answer to almost any question about fascists.

This is fundamental to the survival of American democracy. Trump has proven that the safeguards we believed existed weren't viable. We need a new system that more firmly places power in the legislative branch.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

This is really good as well. So far Ted Lieu, Chris Murphy, and Elissa Slotkin making this point with crystal clarity. More Dems need to do this.

Sadly true.

Heroically expediting the airport security process, or hiding in the corner like a bunch of cowards?

Looks like these new zebras installed by @streets.boston.gov aren't very effective. What happened to the cast in place concrete plan? Will another bike rider have to die for @mayorwu.boston.gov to engage on this issue?

This guy's taking a lot of heat for this post, both in comments and reposts. First, I want to be clear that the pedestrian always has the right of way. It is the responsibility of drivers to look for pedestrians, see them, and allow them safe passage. 1/2

"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." ~ Babe Ruth #MLB #Legend #Baseball #FridayMotivation

Not impressed so far by the Netflix broadcast. It's clearly not intended for baseball fans

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

I see these clowns are hard at work, helping TSA.

Because treating people fairly can sometimes mean treating them differently.

Yes, this seems like it should take care of things. After these matches, does Netanyahu receive a FIFA Peace Prize?

One of the best features of bike based transportation is predictability. For any given trip, the time requirement will always be the same, regardless of time or day. If riding to work takes 25 minutes today, it will take 25 tomorrow, 25 next week, and 25 in 6 months' time. Traffic, what's traffic?

Wow, seeing Miggy Cabrera crying after the game was quite a thing. Baseball is magic.

Congratulations to Team Venezuela! The real baseball season starts in two weeks.

By his own words, Trump acknowledging that Iran can disrupt Hormuz shipping forever if it so desires.

One day of the United States raping Iran could buy 5 miles of light rail transportation.

Juat using the bases without permission would actually be a military invasion. Spain is a NATO member, that's an article 5 circumstance Teump is hinting at.

Probably the dumbest thing I've seen all day.

there's a madman in the white house, he's illegally started a war, he's offered no explanation to the public other than an insane conspiracy theory that Iran somehow tried to interfere in last year's election, and the opposition leaders are releasing statements full of mixed support and concern

Fortunately there are many Boston residents stepping up to ensure safe intersections and path access for pedestrians, bike riders, and other vulnerable road users. But it would be good for the city to figure out a way to include this in the larger snow removal plan. Cc: @wutrain.bsky.social

This is hardly surprising. Trump voters are deranged, of course they might be dangerous.

And Dunks always comes through!

It's kind of wild watching the complete nervous breakdown by Canadians today.

5 authors I've read at least 5 books by: Isaac Asimov Bernard Cornwell Mark Twain Patrick O'Brian Agatha Christie

The best way to help transit riders is to invest in improved service. That means more frequency, more destinations. If we instead use our resources to fund free rides, we can no longer entertain the idea of a more useful system.

The only way to avoid that outcome is to imagine some new funding source that will appear in response to the beauty of the free fares vision, but any such funding source would be better spent on service, regardless of whether the goal is ridership or access to opportunity. 6/

Take the time to read this. The United States government is engaged in systemic human rights violations, it is time to get angry enough to do something.

As you may know, red light and speed cameras are illegal in Massachusetts, effectively giving us NO enforcement of traffic laws. Because the legislative cycle works in a 2 year unit WE MUST ACT NOW to legalize them or kiss this lifesaving tech goodbye until 2029. JOIN US NEXT WEEK AT THE STATEHOUSE

Automated enforcement is one of the most important actions the legislature can take to enhance traffic safety for pedestrians, Cyclists, and drivers/car riders. Please add your voice of support!

Strange how they keep saying that releasing the names of the ICE murderers would be doxing, but are announcing this plan to dox thousands of heroes.

Minnesota has shown us that large, organized resistance can be effective. Time to expand on that idea. We do not need to accept the dictates from Trump. We must instead be clear that authoritarianism can not stand. Don't wait for attempted federal occupations, make them fear us before they arrive.

Amazing! Everything the NRA says in this statement is completely wrong. No real surprise that they are a bunch of boot lockers, of course.

Abolish ICE, prosecute Noem.

Every person in the chain of command who is now loudly lying about the murder of Alex Preti is an accomplice.

In a sane world, this would be the sensible path, but we have a federal government that actively wants escalation, and brings more and more violence to our cities.

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Reminder that our Constitution guarantees due process to ALL persons — not just citizens — and enshrines habeas corpus as a fundamental right. Either everyone has due process — or no one does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=metN4EiDtmQ

the vibe-economics of biking to work are so unexpected, like bicycling seems like a dramatically more leisurely way to travel but then it isn’t actually much slower than traffic on the 101 and also the quality of time itself is SO much improved that the whole day is better and more useful?
