The suburbs kind of suck to live in. But how can we make them better? New video out now!

From the Portland neighborhood that every right wing grifter uses for their propaganda. So dangerous that families are walking with their kids! And commuters are heading home from work! Scary stuff!

The Republicans are just out and about fascists

Democrats are bad because they do not give a flying fuck about their constituents demands and will do less than the bare minimum to protect their rights or secure any minimal amount of social safety nets. Also they don’t learn from their losses.

How did Portland and Minneapolis start getting people to cycle more?

Simple! They utilized modal filters and created neighborhood greenways. Not only prioritizing pedestrians and bikes but also reducing rat running on side streets.

More cities need modal filters!

We in America are often taught that insane reactionary ideology is just the standard.

While most of the time we think of the depraved evil doings of groups like ICE or the lack of social safety nets we have. Car dependency is another one of these reactionary ideals.

Fascism is a death cult and allowing it to exist is a crime.

Taking at least 1 trip a day without your car is the least you can do to fight car dependency.

Big reminder that sports teams do not generate enough revenue or create enough good jobs for your city to be shelling out billions on their new stadium.

This week from Today the 29th to the 5th is the annual week without driving. It’s a really great experience to see how not driving is in your community and i highly recommend trying it out to see how easy (or how difficult) it is in your community.

Good chance it’s the narrower lanes and traffic calming

This street also does carry cars. The train has its own lane and priority when it comes to the signaling at lights.

Socialism with cascadian characteristics

The current Trump regime only values human suffering and giving more welfare to the rich.

Rather than benefitting communities that have been impoverished for decades

The St Louis Metrolink Green Line project was just recently cancelled because of the Trump Regime

This project would’ve provided a reliable north/south connection bridging a decades old line of segregation and providing more transportation options for people in North St Louis

The USDOT is currently a terrorist organization actively promoting more road violence

Car dependency is an extreme ideology that destroys cities. The moderate position is prioritizing pedestrians,bikes and transit over cars.

Our president is actively opposing all road diet projects

Projects that make our streets safer

Projects that reconnect and make our communities stronger

The right has actively declared war on traditional cities

It’s become impossible to satirize how dumb America has become

Happy world car free day everyone!

If you’re driving today I wish you many hours stuck in traffic!
