For the 'cyclists should pay to use the road' types I'm happy to pay if it is proportionate to the damage I do It would take a road bike 3,044 years of doing the same journey every day to damage the road as much as 1 journey in an SUV roaddamagecalculator.com/ H/T @CS3Count

Project 2025 shifts taxes from the wealthy to the middle class— a family of 4 earning $100K would suffer a $2,600 tax hike, while a family earning $5 million would get a $325,000 tax cut. cc: @Brendan_Duke

If you think a nightmarish, unconstitutional round up of innocent people, merely suspected of being enemies of the state, can’t happen in the U.S., then you’re forgetting that it already has. I was among them, along with my entire family and community.

Unpopular opinion: everything about a drone show is better than a fireworks show. All the awesome, none of the dogs with PTSD

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism. It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman, Tommy Robinson and the entire Right.

To all the motorists who think cyclists should ride in the gutter, you can go f*ck off
This is why you should ride in the center of your lane. "¡Andá por el costadito, biciboludo!". Sí, claro, agarrá la bici y andá vos por la orilla...

Constituents have been calling my office all day to demand that NY’s #CongestionPricing plan move forward as scheduled. “Postponing” a program that the Legislature approved 5 years ago, and was set to take effect in just weeks, is unacceptable. Let it roll.

“Ruiz attempted to flee the area in her car, but since everyone else in her neighborhood had the same idea, traffic jams made getting out quickly impossible. She went back to her home and grabbed her bike, which was equipped with a toddler trailer big enough for her two girls.”
One trope in nearly every disaster and post-apocalyptic film from Hollywood is a scene where a protagonist saves themselves and their families by creative and aggressive driving. It's a very deep American fantasy that even in crowded cities that the car represents rugged freedom.

i am once again offering to pay a $1 bicycle registration fee if drivers all pay an equivalent share for the damage they cause to roads (at least $17k)

If a bartender is accused of theft, police will come and investigate. If the allegations are true, the State's Attorney will prosecute. If a bar owner is accused of wage theft, the police will not act. They'll refer the victim to an underfunded agency or tell the victim to sue.
A bartender at The Avenue Kitchen and Bar in Baltimore's Hampden neighborhood claims in a federal lawsuit that the restaurant paid her and other employees only in tips, which would be a violation of state and federal wage laws.

the car industry killed more people yesterday than Boeing has killed since, like 1998
right now Boeing is having an emergency, all-night strategy meeting in which they're trying to choose between recalling all their planes or killing like 70 more people

I really could care less about Royal drama but I do find it quite interesting how decisively powerful media entities fact checked this photograph while some of the most powerful entities in politics run a non-stop disinformation campaign with comparatively little pushback.

Love this quote about Rush. Also applicable to Fox News and other rage-baiting right-wing media.

Many who are engaged in Maryland politics have had to endure constant attacks by @RyanRMiner @AMinerDetail He uses the court system to silence anyone who stands up to him. I am extremely disturbed that Eric Saul is now facing criminal charges for standing up to a bully.

"If you want to kill someone, do it with a car." Powerful read from Dan Langenkamp, the husband of Sarah, who was killed riding her bike by a truck driver who failed to yield crossing into a bike lane. Legislation to strengthen penalties is being heard in Annapolis today.
