Calls for action pour in after third pedestrian killed in Richmond within two weeks
Three pedestrians have died in Richmond, VA in just two weeks!
For me, this is especially upsetting to me as my 26-year-old daughter Rachel lives in Richmond and gets around almost exclusively by biking & walking.

Trump is mentally ill and needs to go!
Not that JD Vance is a good alternative...
In 8 days, Trump will have been in office, this time, for one year.

Sort of reminiscent of Queen Victoria also being the empress of India. Like I said, Trump seems to have gone from isolationism to imperialism without passing go: wapo.st/4pApDGu

I am more in favor of them being tried for treason against the American people!
I called my US Senators & House Rep again today. My message: "Impeach Trump & every member of his regime, & remove them from office. It is your sworn duty to uphold & protect the Constitution. Do it now before there is nothing left to protect or defend."
I'll be calling everyday until it's done.

Trump has no problem killing people in and out of the United States.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

Not just changed the lives of many.
But, also saved the lives of many!

Since congestion pricing began one year ago, about 11% of the vehicles that once entered Manhattan’s central business district daily have disappeared. This may not seem like a lot, but it has changed the lives of many. Here’s how. trib.al/xSygqCm

In the state of Virginia it is often easy to spot a Trump supporting MAGA Republican.
They are often in big trucks with a "DON'T TREAD ON ME" license plate.
A vehicle which could easily kill a bicylist or pedestrian.
In this case it couldn't be any clearer!

Richmond woman (Jamie Brown) says there’s no excuse for driver hitting museum director: 'The pedestrian has a right of way'
My daughter Robyn was at VCU before she was killed bicycling in NYC.
I know the City of Richmond has been making improvements for pedestrians.
This was reckless driving.

Thanks El Cerrito/Richmond Annex Walk & Roll for holding a powerful vigil yesterday for Donna Revecho, who was killed while crossing San Pablo Ave.
It was inspiring to join dozens to stand up for safe streets.
We need to hold Caltrans accountable to make San Pablo safer & prevent more tragedies!

I lost my daughter Robyn on June 24th, 2019. They were killed while doing bicycle messenger work on New York City, when a speeding & distracted box truck knocked them off of their bike and then crushed them into the road.
December 24th is roughly 6 1/2 months from that date.

When Donald Trump is gone, I fully support his name being expunged from every landmark in Washington D.C and across the country.
However, a nice statue of him could be erected at the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (AWTP), the world's largest advanced wastewater treatment facility.

"The League of American Bicyclists, working with the mircromobility outfit Lime, recently reported a whopping 207-percent increase in shared bike and scooter trips along corridors where the city of Baltimore had installed new protected bike lanes."

It is heartbreakingly cruel that a woman is simply walking across the street to get to where she’s going, and in seconds, she’s gone. Another SUV driver has killed an innocent person in NYC in a crosswalk. A family is about to have the worst holiday season of their lives.
Woman fatally struck by SUV in Lower East Side hit-and-run
According to police, a black SUV was northbound on Clinton Street and turning right on Stanton Street when it struck the woman as she crossed in a marked crosswalk.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇
