Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

We must better prioritize the safety and well-being of pedestrians and bicyclists, especially our children. We have lost too many on our roads.

This is a time for our community to mourn together and support the families and students impacted by this tragedy.

So, I helped @divvybikes.bsky.social by reporting a maintenance and safety issue. Is this a “negative ride”? If so, why? Also, my reward is a ride in ridehailing car that might kill another cyclist?

Divvy bikeshare rewards screen. “Positive rides” continue streak, “negative rides” end them.

Rewards for Divvy include Lyft ride hailing credits

I’m starting to think they might not have been serious about wanting to stop fentanyl smuggling and child sex trafficking

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded.

“A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected.

“Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed”
