Flights of less than 350 miles should be a train ride. 🙃

At least 79 kids have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s immigration crackdown. In most cases, they were going about their days when officers shot chemical munitions near their homes and schools and into their cars.

"The war in Iran has cost U.S. taxpayers $25 billion thus far, the Pentagon tells Congress" Reminder: Spending Trump’s proposed military budget could: -Globally: End hunger -In the US: End homelessness, cover the uninsured, provide universal pre-K, & power 50% of households with solar. ht Semler

Just in case anyone forgot, the National Guard is still in DC ans ICE is still in Chicago, LA, Portland, Minneapolis and beyond…

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

I mean, why not give up the car entirely?

Palestinian photographer Saher Alghorra was awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography for documenting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. His photos are worth seeing, so here’s a gift link:

It’s #MayDay y‘all, LFG!!

*watches secret service taking suspect from the scene* and people say I am opposed to rapid rehousing

Where’s that cargo bike emoji when you need it

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

I can’t wait for these asshats to get what they deserve

"They were so lucky I was looking" Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.

Not the overarching message she's trying to get across here, but @aoc.bsky.social, welcome to The War on Cars.

he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.

Miserable country

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

DC implemented a new policy for its streeteries that cost restaurants $20,000 to implement. The result: virtually every restaurant eliminated their outdoor dining, many have reduced their hiring, & now a few cars can park more easily. Congrats on the successful policy change, DC government!

Dear G!  How are you?  Nice story about J. E. in New York mag, you look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania

Folks, I give you the New York Times

The way to stay safe on or near an ebike is to stay away from people driving cars, who kill nearly 40k people annually in the US, and well over 1 million people worldwide.

The Feds plan to rip out the 15th St bike lanes on the National Mall on Monday Join Hill Family Biking on Sunday for a giant protest ride! www.eventbrite.com/e/hill-famil...

"No human who has been alive during cherry blossom season ever thinks, ‘What we need is more room for cars to get around.’ It is cyclists and pedestrians that take over, and this is going to make the chaos infinitely worse.”

That would fund the NIH for 4 years.

The island of Lindau, Germany (pop. 3,000), sees 115 train departures per day. The entire state of Texas and all of its cities combined, by comparison, sees 56 daily Amtrak departures.

Q: “So, hundreds of millions of dollars in grants were terminated from the NEH. The deficit didn’t change much. And you were paid $150,000 to do that job of reducing the deficit. Do you feel like the $150,000 paid to you was wasteful spending?” A: *Laughs, frowns….long pause*

Hey, @russ41.bsky.social ! I just joined!

Once again, @mayorbowser.dc.gov ‘s MPD cooperating with fascists. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/m...

The Council has made it clear this is DC’s money. The mayor has made it clear this is DC’s money. The Attorney General has made it clear this is DC’s money. DC CFO Glen Lee needs to authorize these funds or get out of the way.

More of this, please

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

At least 4 homeless folks froze to death in DC during the recent winter storm. In the capital of the richest country in the world. Where we're spending $1.65 million a day to pay for the Nat'l guard to do nothing. It does not have to be this way.

It does not matter if you take the child you use as bait and then kidnap to McDonald’s!!!!!

Ring trying to compete with Flock launching a nationwide surveillance system via doorbell cameras under the guise of looking for a missing dog. *whispers* this isn’t about dogs

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Ricky was assaulted by ICE tonight for merely standing on public property.

It took a month and a chance encounter more than 1,000 miles away for an elementary school principal in Minneapolis to learn that a missing fifth-grade student, along with her family, was being held by immigration authorities in a Texas detention center.

Checking in again about this, @mayorbowser.dc.gov @ddotdc.bsky.social

This is interesting: New Mexico seems likely to pass a bill banning private ICE concentration camps in the state, despite some loss of jobs
