WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Chuckles Schumer gave me a chuckle.

The best bike plan starts with a better car plan. Dutch cities don’t just graft bike lanes onto busy streets. They practice “ontvlechten”—untangling cycling and driving at a structural level by restricting car speed, volume, and access. Fewer conflicts. Calmer streets. Networks that actually work.

Sweet, I’ve wanted more Mad Hatters in my life. 🎩

On the plus side, the Supreme Court did something good for the American people. Ok the downside it might give Republican incumbents a little economic boost to keep their seats. I’m always in favor of helping people, it should never be a partisan issue.

It’s amazing that people still say this. More room for cars means less room for people. It’s as simple as that. We gutted American cities to make room for cars in the 1950’s, which of course destroyed neighborhoods and hurt local business. The cities recovering are the ones that are fixing that.

I don’t get it. It’s not like it’s “new” knowledge that alcohol is bad for you. This is known fact. What I don’t get is what about today is causing the massive decrease in consumption? Follow up question, and why is that a good health choice but the measles vaccine is not? Make it make sense.

A progressive candidate is a clear path to victory for the Democrats. We want someone who will fight for us as strong as Trump is fighting against us. If leadership forces a centrist compromiser again they are choosing to lose www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Unlike a credit card number, you can’t simply get a new Social Security number. The entire system might need rebuilding from scratch.” Honestly, the SSN is outdated and not a reliably safe number in the first place. You’ve already been forced to give it to less secure entities in the past.

This is exactly the kind of thing multi-decade prison sentences were designed to deter. If only we had laws in the USA: www.gadgetreview.com/government-d...

The KSIs mount in New Jersey... This year to date; 53 dead including 19 pedestrians, not one killed hit by or riding an eBike. Every single one killed either in or by a car. Are you sure eBikes are the problem? #bikeped

When you look ata map, the US is going to be represented as the tailpipe of the world.

Today East Bay Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan introduced the "E-Bike Accountability Act", proposing mandatory registrations & license plates for all Class 2 & 3 e-bikes. Learn more & join us in opposition to this counter-productive proposal by signing our petition at bikeeastbay.org/SayNoToEbike...

A female ICE thug posing as a distressed motorist in neighborhoods of Brooklyn Park (63% non-white), MN, to entrap good samaritans. This is the same MO Ted Bundy used to lure his victims to their demise.

Help stop the misguided attempt to license bikes in CA, it will only lead to making it more difficult for people to adopt bikes. We don’t need new laws, we need the existing classifications of e-bikes to be properly enforced. bikeeastbay.org/say-no-to-ma...!

Great comments from Slotkin here. But I don’t for one minute believe the DHS doesn’t have a database of people they deem risks. Remember that thing about getting access to your FBI file? Is he saying the FBI doesn’t have a DB on people in this country they consider risks? Does he know what a DB is?

Teachers should at a minimum make more than police. It’s about investing in the future, this graph is probably similar for lots of cities, not just San Francisco.

A US Marshal who is part of Trump's surge of feds in DC shot and killed someone in DC yesterday evening and there is barely any coverage and not a single post on here yet about it? wtop.com/dc/2026/02/u...

Kurt Cobain was murdered?!

So, assuming all this info is true… You being a safety conscious FAA person ask a simple question, “So, could this anti-drone tech possibly mistake a civil plane for a drone and shoot it down?” Military: “not likely, we have tested to 95% accuracy.” FAA: “HOLY CRAP! SHUT IT ALL DOWN!”

So important for e-bike access. And as others have pointed out, e-bikes have given more access to people with various disabilities.

As a tax payer, there’s a ton of crap the government uses my money for that I don’t agree with, this is right up there as one of the dumbest things I’ve seen. Although, now that I think of it, I bet most of the money the Feds spend I don’t agree with, a that goes back across administrations.

Something to keep in mind the next time the city tries to repurpose parking and drivers complain that every last car is necessary at all times. The storm was two weeks ago.

Is this what paid protesters look like?

The football I’m watching today.

New paper finds that US bike deaths have "trended toward lower-density suburban areas" rather than central cities Those killed tend to be poor and non-white. Lesson: The suburbanization of poverty could be contributing to the surging number of cyclist fatalities. doi.org/10.1016/j.jc...

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Dems are now overperforming the 2024 lean of red districts by, uh, 30+ points in special elections I’m not sure “apocalyptic” is sufficient to describe how the environment is starting to look for the GOP in November

Holy shit. You MUST watch at least the last 5 minutes of this. It's breathtaking.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Everyone can play a part in helping prevent this from getting worse. You don’t need violence to try and touch people’s hearts and convince them to do something. It’s good to find examples for others to follow that can help lead everyone to a better place.

I really wanted to correct this sign. The crosswalk is not new, the paint is new. All corners where streets meet with sidewalks in California are considered to have crosswalks, some are marked. It should just say NEW PAINT AHEAD or nothing at all. Literally the pedestrian rights have not changed.

This should be illegal. Since everyone and anyone seems to be running for Governor, I’m going to throw my hat in the ring and run on a platform that makes it illegal to pave streets without fixing the street after there are tragedies like this. All streets should be safe streets.

TIL that the building of the Mass Turnpike through Newton paved over a Black neighborhood. patch.com/massachusett... via links posted by @mekka.mekka-tech.com

As if the relationship between rent seeking of oil and cars wasn’t obvious enough, just saw a trade in deal on an ad that gives you a much better price when you trade an EV.

And the that movie Civil War will finally make sense, where Texas and California join to form the Western Forces.

Since California’s “Freedom to Walk” act went in effect in 2023, decriminalizing “jaywalking”, the number of pedestrian fatalities has dropped at an even higher rate than the national average. We need to stop pretending that pedestrian access restrictions are “for their own safety”.

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

We Ride in Unity We Ride in Solidarity Thousands of us have turned out on the street, on our bikes today in PDX to say we're ready to support a free & fair future! @indivisible-oregon.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a special election for the Texas state Senate on Saturday, flipping a reliably Republican district that President Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024. n.pr/4kcbr5h

I didn’t know Bruce Wayne lives in Sant Clara now? Come on SFGate, we all know Batman is Bruce Wayne, that’s like disclosed with in the first 10 minutes of every movie. Just say Batman. Batman reprimanded this City Council for being spineless.

I’d like to see city councils and state legislatures from around the country bar the hiring of former ICE agents into any government position, especially Policing positions.

Start of today's Unity Ride at Rockridge BART. Impressive turnout! Kudos to @bikeeastbay.bsky.social for helping to get the word out.

Didn’t get great pics bc I can’t bike with one hand but the NYC ride for Alex Pretti was huge—this is the back! My favorite part was biking through another protest and all of us cheering for each other

Yall ready for the next war over Hopkins? Im not. Berkeley citizens should just put a comprehensive cycletrack and bike blvd plan on the ballot and be done with it.
