Still have the Star Wars Trilogy on VHS from before they messed it up with cartoon Jabba. Biking is transportation. Walkable cities and towns are everything.

So true! Thank you to all who turned out today too in West Lebanon, NH and White River Junction, VT for #NoKings. #LebanonNH #UpperValley
While it's fantastic to see a gigantic No Kings turnout in large cities, when you see an enormous turn out for a small New Hampshire town...that really says a lot. We tend to stick to ourselves up here.

BRAVO small town America! BRAVO!

Huge turnout for #NoKings in our rural New Hampshire town of Plymouth.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

When you’re making your #NoKings posters, remember… Donald Trump LOVES a good nickname.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.
Some truly horrific stuff from these accounts. Terrifying that our official government resources have been commandeered by malevolent, immature, unserious people to the point where they cannot be trusted to provide factual information. I worry too about what information might be getting destroyed.

Airports in at least Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland, citing the Hatch act that bars use of public resources for political activity, won’t air a video where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem blames Democrats for the shutdown.

Activist @lindseyboylan.bsky.social spoke to me about Andrew Cuomo's sexual harassment of herself and other women. Lindsey slammed corporate media platforms including The View that invites Cuomo on the show but doesn’t press him on the women he harassed. youtu.be/2J7RbQogs4g?...

And now REI and Starbucks choosing to close locations seeking unionization.
I thought this was a strange move seeing as we are not as big a consumer of foreign film as they are of ours until it occurred to me this is part of their aim to make the USA hostile to people for whom English is a second language.

Let's talk about Tylenol and pregnancy.

Fundamentally, this is about making sure women do not get one ounce of relief, but it's also about criminalization.

How long do you think it's going to be before they arrest someone for taking Tylenol during a pregnancy? We are going down that road.
Thank you for bringing this up! I was on the train home thinking about how it was odd they would switch tactics away from vaccines when it clicked in my head that this is aimed at policing pregnant women's bodies. Banning women in the workplace would be another "how long before".
Thought this was a headline about Florida Universities for a second. Might as well be and it sure as shit is the direction we are heading.

Dropped by the Austin Open Street in Forest Hills to get a pulse on the years-long movement to do something about the strip. I beleive at the very least the street should go 1-way & sidewalks widened!

It will make the state unsafe for the elderly. Maybe Florida can take tips from Cuomo on how to hide retirement/nursing home deaths.
This really seems like an assault on a private business AND trade war activity AND an attack on alternative energy using his new unregulated immigration army as a secret police.
I knew it was a woman without seeing her or hearing the audio just based on Trump's body language. The way he leans down over her in a threatening way, very literally talking down to her.
This is because a smart judge closed the case against the Mayor so Trump couldn't threaten him with it. The judge took Trump's stick away, forcing him to resort to the carrot. Dear fellow New Yorkers, don't vote for the candidate who needs/gets/wants Trump's assistance by getting Adams to bow out.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams has been reluctant to abandon his reelection bid — but an influential post in Trump’s administration could incentivize him to bow out.
