I am an advocate in the United States for infrastructure & transportation improvements which will save lives, for not just for the drivers of motor vehicles, but also the most vulnerable road users such as bicyclists, pedestrians and the disabled.

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

This is what first came to my mind...

One can only hope!

I hope to see the day when Trump, his enablers and sycophants spend the time they deserve in jail!

Trump was for all types of voting as long as it got him elected.

Now, he is not in favor of voting, which may help Democrats get elected.

In the video Trump sets the groundwork to stay past the 2028 election.

With the renovations being done on the White House, he clearly doesn't plan on leaving!

To be impeached requires a 2/3's (67) vote by the Senate.

While the Constitution's Treason Clause (Article III, Section 3) defines treason as levying war against the U.S. or giving enemies aid and comfort. It requires only 2 witnesses for conviction. As detailed in Federal law 18 U.S. Code § 2381.

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.

The winner of the 2024 presidental election was "Non-voter" at 34.1%.

They are the ones I blaime for Trump being in office again!

He had no mandate...

The same goes for fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela!

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

He believes he is immune to prosecution because of the SCOTUS rulling...
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

This might explain why Donald Trump, unlike many previous presidents, does not have a dog.

You will never here from Trump about proven approaches at reducing bird fatalities, for that is science and he doesn't believe in that. Or the alternative, using fossil fuels is more harmful to birds.

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!

This is a video from Families for Safe Streets of a similar crash in NYC.

A young child Alison Hope Liao was killed while she and her grandmother were clearly in a crosswalk walk.

This sort of reckless driving should not be tollorated and punished accordingly!

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.

I re-watched all of Star Trek Voyager (Seasons 1 though 7).

There were several court cases in the series.

Though I wish it hadn't ended so abruptly, Season 7 Episode 25 was quite good!
