I took @veronicaodavis.bsky.social’s advice and just finished ‘When Driving is Not an Option’ by @nondriver.bsky.social.

Honestly can’t recommend this book highly enough, especially if you work in/around transport.

Involuntary nondrivers need more recognition, voice & power in decision making.

Late reply, but I didn't see anyone mention "Inclusive Transportation" by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social and had to right that.

The take away for me as things popped of you had 1 group (confederates) that was meeting and was organized. Everyone was falling in line. The union was struggling to respond. The number of conflicting messages sent through pony express created confusion.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I want to introduce a policy that all people are required to have XXX number of therapy sessions starting on their 25th birthday. A lot could be avoided if they both went to therapy.

HE SAID WHAT HE SAID!!!

First of all, Rep Green is about his business. Of all the project briefings I had to do with the Houston delegation, he made every one and he was always so kind! Second of all, THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES. This is the energy we need.

U.S. Representative Al Green @algreen.house.gov · Mar 6

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid
