Still have the Star Wars Trilogy on VHS from before they messed it up with cartoon Jabba. Biking is transportation. Walkable cities and towns are everything.

“Car bloat”—increasingly oversized automobiles—worsens road safety, affordability and the environment.
Here are some of the stories I wrote in 2025 examining the trend and proposing solutions. 🧵
In @vox.com, I likened car bloat to secondhand smoke (which helped bring down the US tobacco industry).

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

@amtrak.com this is discriminatory. You do not have sufficiently large facilities for women to begin with, but almost without fail on busy travel days the bathroom closest to the food court is closed, making what would already be a long wait much longer. #Moynihan #NeedWomenInSTEM

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

So true! Thank you to all who turned out today too in West Lebanon, NH and White River Junction, VT for #NoKings. #LebanonNH #UpperValley
While it's fantastic to see a gigantic No Kings turnout in large cities, when you see an enormous turn out for a small New Hampshire town...that really says a lot. We tend to stick to ourselves up here.
BRAVO small town America! BRAVO!

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Some truly horrific stuff from these accounts. Terrifying that our official government resources have been commandeered by malevolent, immature, unserious people to the point where they cannot be trusted to provide factual information. I worry too about what information might be getting destroyed.

Let's talk about Tylenol and pregnancy.
Fundamentally, this is about making sure women do not get one ounce of relief, but it's also about criminalization.
How long do you think it's going to be before they arrest someone for taking Tylenol during a pregnancy? We are going down that road.

This is because a smart judge closed the case against the Mayor so Trump couldn't threaten him with it. The judge took Trump's stick away, forcing him to resort to the carrot. Dear fellow New Yorkers, don't vote for the candidate who needs/gets/wants Trump's assistance by getting Adams to bow out.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams has been reluctant to abandon his reelection bid — but an influential post in Trump’s administration could incentivize him to bow out.

Seth Meyers put together clips of Trump yammering on about "big strong men" in the military. His infatuation with strong men is well known, but the flip side is that it sounds like he's setting the groundwork to drastically reduce women's roles in the military. www.facebook.com/share/v/15X6...
