"The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives.

In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%."

Undeniable then. Selfishness can kill. Lives, especially tiny ones, take clear precedent over getting from A to B.

🚴‍♀️ London has done it.

We’ve just been crowned Europe’s favourite city for cycling, a fantastic recognition of the progress we’ve made to make our city greener and more accessible for all. Our cycling boom is good for Londoners and is putting us on the map for cycle tourism.

Q. When is a Christian not a Christian?

A. When they are anything but #Christian in their attitudes and behaviour.

This is Jorge, a loggerhead turtle kept in a shallow tank for 40 years, who has finally been freed.

He’s already swum 1,700 miles and is believed to be heading for the area he knew as a hatchling.

Anecdotal, but... The breadth of the turnout was astonishing to me. I drove around after leaving a protest, & EVERY LITTLE TOWN had 100's to 1,000's lining the streets with handmade signs.

I'm in my 70's, in college during Vietnam protest era, and this dwarfs anything I have seen previously.

They’re also giving SpaceX $22 billion

"Assaulting, kidnapping, and assassinating the government officials of the United States is a crime under various statutes, including 18 U.S.C. § 111
If assault results in personal injury penalty is 10 years imprisonment"

But would any attempt to prosecute succeed?

A US senator is assaulted and cuffed for asking a question at a press conference held by the Sec of Homeland Security. We now live in an authoritarian regime where the political opposition can be detained and rounded up.

This is bad for fish, Tribes, and the Columbia Basin.

Good for California Sen. Alex Padilla.

This is precisely what elected officials need to be willing to do.

Stand up and fearlessly speak truth to power, even at the risk of being physically hurt or arrested.

Let the country see a United States Senator get roughed up for exercising his free speech.
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”
