need t-shirt for TSA line: "ICE agents are traitorous oath breakers"

Sticking ICE agents in busy airports surrounded by a bunch of angry travelers is going to do wonders for their already cratering morale

Whispers: Trains don't need heavy security

Bombing all of Iran's electrical infrastructure should surely compel them to capitulate in an existential conflict. I, too, remember the great Ukrainian surrender of 2022.

Americans following this:

Currently on France TV, the new mayor of Paris Grégoire celebrating his victory by biking around on a bike share. He’s now taking an interview while riding.

I think I've said this before but it's striking that the Trump administration has no concept of positive policy. The only thing they can imagine doing with the federal government is inflicting misery and paying off bribes, because that's what they've been told the government does for fifty years

This is in response to a little kid wearing crocs on a bike. Because the crocs are the danger, of course. Not the cars. People will find any excuse to blame bicyclists instead of cars and bad infrastructure.

If you do wear a helmet and bright colors they will find a way to blame it on your shoes

Transportation cyclist. "I just want to bike and not die!" @waba.org #bikedc

Nothing is actually authoritarianism. It's all just increasingly more aggressive political maneuvering.

Yay! bsky.app/profile/yona...

Happy to hear that Paris mayoral election did not fall to conservatives that might undo some of the current mayor’s great urbanism changes. Phew.

Tonight at 6, I'll be live on The Young Jurks to discuss my successful lawsuit to force the Northwestern District Attorney's Office to release the names of police officers charged with crimes.

Gas prices so bad, drivers wheel sucking to save fuel

Seeing Jake Paul get beat up again would cheer me up

Sean Duffy is going to deploy ICE to remove all the bike lanes

“We have not heard anything official from TSA leadership that ICE would be coming to any airport in New England,” said Michael Gayzagian, president of AFGE Local 2615, which represents TSA officers in New England.

the perfect bike accessory does not exis...

fucking hell, stop telling/showing everyone what tucker fucking carlson says/thinks about anything, fuck him and fuck you

you have to understand that shitty Ezra Klein take in this context too; he was attempting to climb onboard what he believed to be a cultural bandwagon.

"planning is a woman thing, alpha males just act" is the subtext

It’s honestly infuriating. One to two blocks away, there is plenty of legal parking. Why do drivers think that walking a few blocks is oppression?

After church, my family ran a couple of errands in the little walkable area where our church is. In the very short time we were on the street, I saw 11 parking violations that included people parking their cars in bus stops, crosswalks, and disabled spots.

"Planning not complete" is the tagline for this administration

If you live in Massachusetts, call or email your legislator and demand they vote to pass the PROTECT Act, which will limit ICE's ability to kidnap people in courthouses. miracoalition.org/news/take-ac...

If the fire only spreads out to a dozen acres or so, we can limit the damage, I tell the reporters as a 200-acre apocalyptic blaze consumes the countryside right behind me.

fun fact: BMW tires can run $300-600 a piece unrelated quote post I don't know how to get rid of

flexposts will solve this! at only $400 each for some reason

Once again proving that paint is not infrastructure.

Drivers: Use the bike lane Also drivers:

Happy boy

I like the way I ride my bike I like the way YOU like to ride your bike That’s it.

The Northeast's housing crisis didn't start in 2020. Or 2010. Or 2000. It started in the 1970s with land use policies designed to constrain supply & it's never been able to meet demand since.

The fuck it does not.

it's wild that we're doing media analysis of regime propaganda constantly across our modern society

Gonna practice pretend talking on the phone to someone about how ICE is just a bunch of insecure babies desperate to prove to daddy that they are big tough guys because they’ve been utter failures in the rest of their lives as I walk by them at the airport.

I highly recommend the @onthemedia.bsky.social podcast, hosted by Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger. Both are highly skilled interviewers. If you want to understand what is happening in the US, this is critical listening.

Somewhere on here earlier someone commented that they'll likely be deployed optically but not functionally which will be the exact worst thing this administration could do.

Journalist here: I've been pretty consistent in calling what ICE does as terrorism.

If ICE in the airports does materialize this should be yet another sign to journalists to stop using terms like "immigration enforcement" or "immigration crackdown" with regard to ICE. They are merely Trump's paramilitary force to be used as he pleases.

This is just pure nationalism with no context from MDBreathe. There are hundreds of open residency spots in pediatrics, family medicine, and IM. Most of the unmatched US grads were applying for competitive specialties like ortho. They can apply (SOAP) for an open spot or try again next year.

There's still room in this starter pack for more independent/worker-owned/reader-funded news sources, if you have any to recommend! And if you prefer lists, this one includes both starter packs: bsky.app/profile/did:...

It's a strange thing, because Americans cannot imagine the reality of being bombed like we do to others. We got bombed, so to speak, by another country, once and it completely changed everything. And yet we nevertheless live through constant daily barrages of gun fire that we metabolize as not war.

Just exploiting narcotizing dysfunction.

Liberal media grifters are not nearly as harmful as grifters on the right, but they push a lot of bad information. Instead of supporting those accounts, people should subscribe to independent, nonprofit, and worker-owned media outlets. This list by @laminda.bsky.social is a great place to start.

I’m going to mute “Putin”

Every person *who has had any interaction with US immigration enforcement* could essentially say the same thing.

It feels so good to be able to ride my favorite rail trail again
