In the East Bay this includes the San Pablo Ave projects, East Bay Greenway, Oakland’s Downtown MLK cycletrack & Broadway bus lanes, Richmond’s Harbour Way cycletrack, an Alameda bikeway, 5 Contra Costa bike projects… the list goes on and on. Some of these were expected to break ground *this year*
NEW: U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has ordered officials to stop action on all Biden-era discretionary grants to build bike lanes and other "green infrastructure" so the agency can review the project for possible removal.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

It is Friday afternoon of a wild, wild week. And yet for me a reassuring one. My greatest fear was not of what they would do. It's that we would let them. And I'm seeing a lot of beautiful intransigence. From federal workers. From people all over the country obstructing ICE....

At least the LA Times linked to the SJVWater.org story. Support local journalists and local journalism.

First story yesterday: sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

Additional coverage today: sjvwater.org/trumps-emerg...
I want to stress something important.

I know about the Times’ owner, and his interference in the Ed page (and maybe more).

But without the LAT, you would only know what the White House told you about this.

Support journalists and journalism.

Like, if you see Elon Musk or any of the DOGE crew show up at your agency or if there is a new memo you need to contact me via your bat phone STAT. signal/whatsapp: 510-449-6359
I wrote this story the day after the election. Since then: every day is a firehose of tips and news about Elon and what he's *actually* doing. If you work for a federal agency I am eager to talk to you on a secure, non work device!

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.
