Valhalla. It isn't just a feast hall.
The best cycle lanes are wide, beautiful and completely separate from other roads. This type of infrastructure is common here in the Netherlands. They often connect cities and offer a great alternative for driving.

Americans are too cowardly to feel sympathy. I see it every day. Aggressive and distracted motorists. Uncleared sidewalks. Apathy towards fascism.

The Trump regime is smearing this man - Alex Pretti - as a “domestic terrorist.” We can’t let them get away with it.

Alex Pretti was a patriotic American - far more so than the ICE agent who murdered him on the streets of Minneapolis today. Far more so than Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of them.
A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Unrelated to the Trump administration and the current Congress, but damn. What a great headline metaphorically capturing our current federal government is shit and failing.

Of course, I hope the real sewer failure is fixed and no person comes to harm.

Massive sewage spill flowing into Potomac River upstream from Washington
A massive pipe rupture has sent sewage spilling into the Potomac River. The spill of about 40 million gallons of sewage a day is turning part of the river gray upriver of Washington, D.C.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Right now: Whether it's a polar vortex, or lake effect squalls -- 25% of Cleveland residents (higher in some neighborhoods) don't have access to a motor vehicle -- and they often bike where they need to go through it all.

So my stance on Trump is clear. He is a liar and a piece of shit.
Trump on NATO: “They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan & this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines.” #cdnpoli
158 Canadian soldiers died in Afghanistan.
Tell their families that they were "off the front lines."

How did Trump know when that Ford worker yelled out "pedophile protector!" that he was yelling at him?🤔

Yes.
Americans don’t want Canada, Venezuela, or Greenland.

They want to be able to afford groceries and have lower health care costs.

A witness to the ICE murder. Supposedly there is an AI of the ICE officer floating around so beware. Watch for Trump to do something this week to get this off the news cycle

Not ok with ICE. Definitely not ok with Trump. Is it not evident we are devolving into a worse country because of this man? Or do people not care?

If you go to a suburban mall, you will probably have to park outside and walk in. You don’t expect to drive in to your store.

But for some reason in urban areas it’s considered an injustice if you can’t park directly in front of the store you want to go to.
