vision zero sign talking about a school being 2 minutes by bike, while having zero bike lanes (not even a bike gutter in sight), as well as a "school zone drive slowly" sign with no traffic calming in sight #topoli #biketo #visionzero #zerovisionto

University of Waterloo student strike today, protesting with students across Ontario to OSAP cuts! Begging all of u, especially non-students, to write/contact ur MPP, Post-Sec Minister Nolan Quinn, & Premier Ford. They need to hear that all of us care about education, & that students are our future

My latest on how Trump and toxic tech bros are weaponizing AI to target civilians. People are pushing back. There is a worldwide boycott of CHAT GPT. The stakes are high here. charlieangus.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

Guys, I can’t do another one. I will retire to run a bar in Malta if this happens.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people. We do not want another forever war.

A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes* Arkansas state house special election. Flip from R to D.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

There is ZERO excuse for joining the USA military. Being in poverty doesn’t give you the right to go participate in the mass murder of brown folks. And this includes non-combat military members too. Their entire job revolves around supporting the combat that is happening.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen. Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Canada ‘abandoning’ international law with support for U.S. strikes on Iran, say former diplomats www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

Glad people are talking about this.

Omfg Crossing the GTHA with only local transit, no GO or VIA rail. Tbh I’ve always wanted to do this youtu.be/IacZs7FwDNw

I will not vote for Gavin Newsom. I will not vote for Gavin Newsom. I will not vote for Gavin Newsom. I will not vote for Gavin Newsom. I will not vote for Gavin Newsom. Reskeet, plz!

Shut up

*of course* one of the first responses to this was a finger-wag about him not wearing a helmet

As people outside of cars, we’ve all been at the receiving end of right turns on red. How many near misses have you experienced or witnessed as a result? Yet City staff recommends against a blanket ban of right on reds. Oppose their recommendation. Take action now! 👇 bikeottawa.ca/2026/02/21/r...

Unfortunately the reality is that cops have a history of killing people by dropping them off in inhospitable places. In Canada it’s called a “starlight tour” when cops detain an Indigenous person and then drop them off miles from home in the wilderness, sometimes causing them to freeze to death

Local Mojo, Kat for Illinois, and Allianza are teaming up to ICE a benefit concert supporting immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees right here in Chicago. ALL proceeds go to the National Immigrant Justice Center. Live music by Inertia, The Mee-ow Band, and DJ Fat Dog Slim.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Officers responding to a planned snowball fight in Washington Square Park were struck by members of the crowd. The NYPD commissioner described the incident as "illegal" and said authorities are investigating.

The Rookie itself was a huge win for the humanization of the US police, who are all jackbooted thugs, and anyone who was involved in this from Dropout is only letting the cops take a victory lap. Copaganda made to normalize the evils of policing to woke nerd types.

Hasan reacts to Kat Abughazaleh owning Laura Fine in the IL-9 debate

Kat Abughazaleh on ICE in IL-9 debate "We need to fully abolish and prosecute ICE. We need to repeal the Patriot Act. We need to lift refugee caps. And we need to offer complete amnesty and citizenship to any immigrant here who has not committed a violent crime."

Kat Abughazaleh makes an argument that Biden and Trump conflate Hamas with all Palestinians.

Kat Abughazaleh: "This is the exact type of hypocrisy that people are sick of in politics. Over and over again, the lying the bickering over who likes AIPAC more"

Kat Abughazaleh: "We need to, first off abolish and prosecute ICE and DHS and we return DHS' responsibilities to Departments of Justice, State, of Treasury, of Transportation. All of these responsibilities that were taken from those departments... We need to repeal the Patriot Act."

Kat Abughazaleh: "Last night at the SOTU would they [elected Democrats] have listened to Hakeem Jeffries and watched or stood aside or gotten kicked out like Al Green did?"

Kat Abughazaleh: "Democrats are still operating as if the only levers of power are legislation and votes and conversations behind closed doors. We need to talk seriously about general strikes about breaking quorum about exploiting parliamentary procedure."

Here is a thread of Kat highlights from the FOX32 IL-9 Democratic debate. Kat Abughazaleh: "I do want to issue a little correction. As much as I respect the term of influencer, I'm a researcher and journalist."

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

Zero. That’s the number of kilometres of new bike lanes proposed as part of the 2025.IE23.6 Cycling Network Plan - Second Quarter Update. City Council meets tomorrow. Help us tell Council and the Mayor that this is a time for leadership: www.cycleto.ca/zero_kilomet...

Thank goodness we’ve had elected municipal reps in #TOpoli fighting tooth and nail to prioritize the safety of vulnerable road users… Wait…sorry… My bad. Scratch that whole sentence. h/t @ffsafestreets.bsky.social #VisionZero #BikeTO bsky.app/profile/grap...

Another weekend in the suburbs and once again, contra every urbanist, it feels incredibly obvious that the vast majority of people in this country don’t consider the car-dependent suburb as a “problem to be solved” at all. It is simply the way things should be.

Doug Ford is correct that money doesn't grow on trees. Everyone knows you inherit it from your parents like he did! #ONpoli #Onted #TOpoli

the scourge is over soon. the worst vestige of the Miller-era will be off our streets if we do it right.

Now's your chance to tell the City you enjoy sitting down in public and sheltering from the rain on occasion.

Dropping King-Liberty because the area's density makes construction more challenging is somehow the cherry on top. "We can't build transit here! There's too many people!"

Toronto pays off-duty police $100 an hour to oversee construction sites. Some councillors want to know why www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor... #TorontoPolice #TPS #TOpoli #VisionZero #VisionZeroTO #ZeroVision #ZeroVisionTO

"Doug Ford’s government said traffic officers could help replace banned speed cameras. Three months later, here’s what Toronto police say. Most of the 150 speed camera locations in Toronto are not eligible for traffic-calming infrastructure." www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

"It's a cash grab!" Oh my sweet summer child. Come, let me show you how much a dedicated police officer — trained in the application of *deadly force* in upholding the law! — is paid to poke a button, read a number and deliver a ticket that could have been sent through the mail...

73% of Ontarians support speed cameras. Police chiefs support speed cameras. Studies show they work extremely well. Who doesn't like speed cameras? "said he regularly racks up $300 to $400 a month in parking and speeding tickets." He should have his license taken away www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

Thanks Michael Koy for this piece in @thegrindto.bsky.social about how the Province is tightening its grip over city roads including not just Bill 60, but also removing Toronto's ability to charge a vehicle registration tax. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thegrindmag.ca/the-province...

Thanks @bikeottawa.bsky.social for challenging their city staff recommendation against banning right turns on red. It's unfortunate Toronto hasn't seen much advocacy on this matter; not even for their downtown core. #ottbike #ottwalk #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

Bike lane abruptly ends with snowbank northbound on Yonge & Davisville and isn't even close to plowed on Winona & Ava Rd on Saturday. Particularly scary on Yonge where there seemed to be a lot of impatient drivers. #bikeTO #toronto #TOpoli

Counterpoint: No. ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.
