“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

I read this morning that Penn Station serves more than 2x passengers per day as Atlanta Hartfield, the country’s busiest airport. So I had to map them at the same scale. 🤯

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.
It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

Growing list of reasons Trump should step down:
- Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring
- Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment
- Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power
- Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy

Mike Johnson is really committed to covering up for Trump and Epstein

Good discussion.
I agree with @hcrichardson.bsky.social on targeted strikes vs. a general strike in the US. The political scientist in me urges many to go back and better understand the period from 1870 through Jim Crow.

In votes over the past 2 days the Senate has voted to repeal Trump's tariffs on Brazil and Canada. It's a remarkable rebuke of Trump, a sign of growing discontent inside the GOP.
