Very upsetting that ACLU is pro-drunk driving.
Requiring in-car breathalyzers for people convicted of a DUI is not "a form of racialized wealth extraction."
People of all backgrounds are getting killed and maimed by reckless drivers. Let's stop the carnage!

CA leaders look away as road deaths skyrocket
More and more people are dying on California roads, and millions are getting injured. What are lawmakers doing as vehicle deaths increase?

I was surprised to talk to a real person this morning when I called Citi Bike Support. There has been zero bikes at the Carteret/Arlington Avenues in Jersey City for a few days now. I’m glad they’re opening up more stations in my area, but they need to rebalance so they’re useful. 🚲
