Hit & Run on Granby Street.

I'm okay (not dead, at least). Some abrasions, my knee is sore. Filed a police report.

You can hear the driver honk just before hitting me. Didn't stop at all, but just kept going.

Granby through Riverview needs protected bike lanes as well. This was the 2nd time.

It is rare that i reach out to as many trump advisers and officials that I did today and get literally no one willing to defend this, even off the record.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.

Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

Our local news recently reported that a nonprofit is collecting toys for kids whose parents were deported. FB commenters were overwhelmingly negative. Many suggested ICE raid the toy drive and arrest the kids, too.

I hate that I’m now aware of how much of our country craves this sort of cruelty.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

But David French, the guys flipping out over Drag Queen Story Hour are the weak men creating hard times.

If they think something has gone terribly wrong, and that the thing is people reading books to kids at a voluntary family event, that's insanely weak. And an excuse to act on irrational hatred.

I can understand, even if I disagree, why French wants to try and empathize with the concerns of these RW culture war types. But that empathy is just reinforcing their whiny, spoiled attitude when what they need to be told is to grow the fuck up, those aren’t real problems.

The Trump admin’s beloved “journalist” Nick Sortor questions a survivor of the Parkland shooting, who posted about also living through the Brown shooting.

Sortor is wanted by the state of Kentucky for evading probation in a case where he harassed a woman but attended a White House event recently.

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.

It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.
