Jimbo is up and about. He is still quite poorly but I convinced him a little 200 yard walk would do him good. He is winning his battle now… (1/5) 🧵

Too many electeds are drivers (in a country where almost one-third are not) and view public transit as a charity and bike infrastructure as a luxury for a few recreational adult cyclists.

There are so many insane wildly misleading stories coming out about data centers almost every day now that I'm mostly having to give up on commenting on them to focus on actually getting blog posts out, but it feels like a tsunami. This is one of them. Will go into it in a thread below.

In Opinion After the Virginia Supreme Court overturned a state redistricting vote, “the correct response is to fight back in the name of the people, who made their choice in a free and fair contest,” Jamelle Bouie writes. “Democrats must meet the moment. Or move over for people who will.”

no laws. lawless.

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

A must-read thread 🧵

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

Really excellent article and excellent Substack open.substack.com/pub/whoshall...

At some point we are going to have to admit that the whole system is a complete scam.

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

when car drivers decide things, non-car drivers are screwed.

imo this is a crappy bike stand.

Dear @govevers.wisconsin.gov This + renewable, NOT nukes.

one of the wilder stories out there right now in public transportation: basically everything could stop in 30 days because no one wants to sell insurance to the railroad usa.streetsblog.org/2026/05/04/t...

I thought SCOTUS has taken away the ability for a circuit court ruling to affect the whole country? Why does the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals' mifepristone decision happy natiobwide? Obviously I'm not a lawyer. PLS explain.

The AP has been pretty cringe in its regime reporting. I think they've been flipped.

This is what the “EV scam” crowd keeps missing: 👉 EVs produce ~73% LESS lifetime emissions (ICCT) 👉 Includes mining, batteries, shipping, all of it 👉 Fossil cars don’t just start dirty… they stay dirty You don’t compare the top of the iceberg. You compare the whole system. #Bettrification

I wish there were a toolkit with all these great outcomes & studies in 1 place WITH a suggested plan of action so small city transportation cycling/safety/climate advocates could enlighten city councils & decisions wouldn't be made by superstition & projection. If electeds don't get it, we're stuck.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

Right wing domestic terrorism -- by every measure, the overwhelmingly most common kind of domestic terrorism -- cost a legislator her life and the national press did not give a shit. Barely covered it. Read this lovely tribute.

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” What if your city actually MEANT #VisionZero?

Not all EVs need to be giant. Check out this tiny 1959 Trident. I can imagine bopping down to Powell’s Books in Portland, blasting bossanova music with a cup of Puff Coffee in one hand piloting around a corner at maximum speed which is probably 18 MPH. 🤣 #ev bringatrailer.com/listing/1959...

Israel kidnapped hundreds of people from the Global Sumud Flotilla this morning. They were in Crete 1,000km from Israel. But despite this being international Piracy and Kidnapping and being a gross violation of International Law. Nobody has even mentioned it.

Watch the movie King of Hearts and it will all be clear.

perfect timing. our city is updating its zoning code. thx!

Solar tech has improved so much and come down in price some in CH use them to build fences. Balcony solar panels for flats produce enough to charge most devices. Rainfall capture is a big thing here too. So your house is completely off the grid for water supply as well.

“When you’re unable to drive, the flaws in our public transit system become obvious. Sidewalks that end suddenly, street crossings that feel like a sprint for your life, and bus routes perfectly timed to miss the train. When transit is your only option, these things aren’t minor inconveniences.”

"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced." This is how you do a just transition. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.
