I've had drivers in PB swerve around my car while I was stopped for a pedestrian. This isn't an isolated incident.
Another death in an intersection designed to trade lives for speed.

The intersection at Garnet and Gresham only allows crossing Garnet on the far side of the 1400 block, and that crosswalk is only protected by pedestrian flashing lights. I doubt this driver would've stopped for those either.

Submitted a complaint to their feedback form here, not sure if anything will come from it but maybe if enough people yell at them to the point they can't ignore it something will happen.

Terfs are the liberals of gender.

In this essay, I will explain how terfs are themselves victims of patriarchal violence, but they do not wish to free themselves from this hierarchy of violence, but rather to build another layer of hierarchy below themselves that they may commit violence upon.

Liberalism seems like an extraordinary ability to think "these are the principles that should apply to my life", and then without the slightest bit of friction switch to thinking, "but those principles should not apply to the people who grow, pick, cook, and deliver my food".

Do you ever stop to wonder specifically why police repeatedly (and predictably) refuse to protect people outside of vehicles?

Do you ever wonder specifically why regulators allow these unnecessarily large vehicles that cause worse injuries, more pollution, more road wear?

There are reasons.

To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve?

The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

"A more accurate way to think about immigration is to view it as a type of population growth. When babies are born, we can be ... confident that some small percentage of them will one day commit crimes. Does that mean that we should ban all babies from being born for public safety?"

When police talk about pedestrian "visibility", they're giving drivers permission to act like this.

SCOOP: Tensions at Palantir have grown in recent weeks over the company's work with ICE.

On Friday, CEO Alex Karp tried to calm concerns in an hourlong video that offered few specifics—instead offering NDAs to workers who want to understand how it's empowering ICE.
