What do you think of LADOT’s #TorontoBarrier bike lane pilot in #DTLA? Located on 3rd between Spring and Main
Not like we haven't known this for decades. The Clean Air Act improved life expectancy. Go ride your bike to the store.

Here's something that's not talked about enough

The air pollution from burning fossil fuels kills an estimated 10 million people a year

1 in 6 deaths is caused by fossil fuels

Republicans want you dead, but they are mostly killing other Republicans. Social policy at the state and county level plays a big role in mortality. Stay unmasked, buy guns and sit around MAGA.

I think the cycle of crazy is peaking. Time to go on a long bike tour.
And here we have a good reason to ignore the Bible and those who thump it.
It’s not him I’m worried about. It’s the Millers in this administration that are the danger

Hey House GOP we all know you want us dead. Go back to the Hitler loving, fantasy violence closet you crawled out of.
Just think about now millions of Americans are going to their basements to lovingly craft big beautiful signs that tell trump to go to hell.

16 October 1943 | Raid of the Ghetto of Rome. 365 German security & police forces sealed off the area of the ghetto. 1,024 Jewish men, women, and children were arrested. Two days later they were deported to #Auschwitz.

Only 16 of them survived the war.
So, is there an analysis of this device's (Door Dash unguided thing) sensors? Asking for someone else.
And so the greatest nation on the planet schlumpfed off into the history books trailing a too long red tie and ranting about what ever stray thought wandered by.
Everyone sing along!

🎶Don’t cry for us, Argentina.
We’re like Canada, only much meaner.
And we gave up healthcare,
For your peso to be finer,
So you could steal our soybean exports.
That went to China.🎶
Aah so you support the murder of political opponents. That's so cute.
Not this old man. Sleeping in till 8 then coffee with friends and Labradors, a bike ride and more building projects. Arguing creates nothing but CO2.
