Like you’re not gonna get BRT infrastructure built in a rural city of 10,000 people. It’s not gonna happen. And a roundabout is safer than a stoplight on two 60 MPH highways, so don’t rally against the roundabout. Build on the community’s strengths instead of inventing a new problem.

I was rudely reminded of the existence of Str*ng T*wns this weekend and as a planner, I need these wannabe planners to focus on the real problems happening right now.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

This is how you troll a fascist Gov while still standing up for the people in both states. 🏆👏

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

An anti-abortion MAGA Republican posing as a cop assassinated the former Democratic MN speaker of the house and her husband and their golden retriever, then attempted to kill another Democratic lawmaker. This is disgusting revisionism, and Pam Bondi is a lying, miserable cunt for this bullshit.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

Okay so the intro is cringy and racist (at the top of the screen), but the ending is satisfying. Please watch the whole video!

It’s insane how the article is written in a “both-sides” lens (leaning toward favoring the white woman over the Hispanic man) when you’re absolutely right - the woman is in the wrong.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

They aren’t negotiating, they’re hollowing out *your* government, bc they hate it, bc they hate you. This is fascism rapidly consolidating power. They’re shooting the hostage (that’s you, America) like they were always going to. They wanted us to be their accomplices. This implodes in a month.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Reading this letter proclaiming the man to be in great health while he’s actively eviscerating the CDC and NIH seems like a lesson in a graduate course for Dissociation.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email
