Remember this one? “Humans aren’t very efficient movers—until you put us on a bicycle, when we become some of the most energy-efficient land travelers in the animal kingdom.” Via Scientific American @sciam.bsky.social #CityMakingMath

“We dishonor those who came before us if in this moment of crisis we remain silent,” Mr. Stevenson said. “I don’t think it’s just unempathetic. I don’t think it’s just cowardly. I think it’s dishonorable."

This Day in Labor History: October 10, 1917. The red light district of New Orleans, known as Storyville, closed due to the efforts of reformers seeking to eliminate vice from the city. Let's talk about sex work and how banning red light districts just made workers unsafe!

More from Justice Eddins on Hawaii Supreme Court, Troubadour with a gavel
taniel.bsky.social Taniel @taniel.bsky.social · 25d
NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court.

The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on.

The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:
Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS - Bolts
Hawaii justices ruled that their state constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaiians—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

In the long-run and even if only looking at the last five years, politically motivated murders in the US are mostly a from the political right.

Epstein victims' lawyer: While we have seen the documents, you haven't. When you see the documents, you're going to be appalled.

The American people deserve to see everything.

Evil flourishes in the darkness.

HUGE: "Nevertheless, at Defendants’ orders and contrary to Congress’s explicit instruction, federal troops executed the laws. ... In short, Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act."

Working link here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
GAVIN NEWSOM, et al., Plaintiffs, v. DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., Defendants. Case No. 25-cv-04870-CRB OPINION GRANTING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF Congress spoke clearly in 1878 when it passed the Posse Comitatus Act, prohibiting the use of the U.S. military to execute domestic law. Nearly 140 years later, Defendants— President Trump, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, and the Department of Defense— deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, ostensibly to quell a rebellion and ensure that federal immigration law was enforced. There were indeed protests in Los Angeles, and some individuals engaged in violence. Yet there was no rebellion, nor was civilian law enforcement unable to respond to the protests and enforce the law. Nevertheless, at Defendants’ orders and contrary to Congress’s explicit instruction, federal troops executed the laws. The evidence at trial established that Defendants systematically used armed soldiers (whose identity was often obscured by protective armor) and military vehicles to set up protective perimeters and traffic blockades, engage in crowd control, and otherwise demonstrate a military presence in and around Los Angeles. In short, Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act.
