Americans are so anti-communism-pilled that our transportation departments have to sell "everybody taking turns so everyone gets there faster" as "zipper merging"

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

killdozer pickup trucks are rolling hostile architecture; their manufacturers and drivers should be thought of like people who install park benches studded with caltrops to prevent the homeless from resting on them

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:

"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

It’s unfortunately not uncommon for pedestrians to be killed by cars in the US.

If our TV networks had not been captured by the right wing, some very easy journalism would be to play this clip besides a very not on fire Portland and then tell viewers that the President of the United States is living in an alternate reality.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I really love Luis Castillo. Wish the Orioles jumped the gun and went after him in 2022 like Seattle did

I will remember that @alsobrooks.senate.gov voted against the rights of trans people. Do we have a JK Rowling-sycophant representing Maryland, or simply an opportunist who thinks of civil rights of trans people as negotiable. Shame on you, Angie.

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

The bill passed by a wide margin in the Senate and will be the starting point for negotiations with the House, which contain more severe anti-trans riders.

Why we do need bike lanes on Adams Avenue. Entitled drivers can't be bothered to move over when passing bikes and use the empty middle lane as is the law. Instead passing me within inches.

The newfound interest in the league has more men watching the sport than women, and the overwhelming rise of sports gambling has encouraged some to engage in gambling practices that experts warn aren’t just pseudoscientific, but sexist, too. www.wired.com/story/men-ar...

Men Are Betting on WNBA Players' Menstrual Cycles

Some sports gamblers are trying to predict WNBA players’ performance—and the outcomes of games—based on the athletes’ periods. One betting content creator has dubbed it “blood money."

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!
