Hey @michaelduggan.bsky.social @cityofdetroit.bsky.social why are Detroit Police and PGA staff directing people to park in the 'protected' bike lane through Palmer Park when there is open available parking on both sides of the street already?

18 or older, living in the US & not driving? This short eligibility survey is for a research study on the experiences of people who don't drive, their transportation challenges & how different transportation options might impact their lives.

A U.S. citizen on their way to work abducted by ICE then locked in a basement, with federal government employees refusing to consider indisputable proof of citizenship. Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it. What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.

My only commentary on the NYC mayor race is that yeah you can take away that voters want more progressive policies, and/or also you can take away that i dunno forcibly kissing women is Bad Actually.

"You CLODS! You absolute RUBES! Can't you see? Vaccines are ploys to get pharma companies rich! WEARABLES are completely legitimate ways to enrich TECH companies while bolstering surveillance state!!! And that's GOOD for some reason!"

Abortion is banned by the State Constitution in TN.

“Veep” but they’re going to kill us all.

Encountered a new genre of AI Facebook slop: fake Holocaust victim stories. A well-meaning friend shared one, and I read it. It had that uncanny feeling to it, a little too tidy and designed to evoke emotion. The level of detail was more than you usually encounter for someone who did not survive…

Scenes from Detroit’s #NoKings protest. @wdet.bsky.social

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

NEW: In a letter to the Senate, the U.S. Postal Service says a proposal to auction off 7,200 USPS electric vehicles and rescind Inflation Reduction Act funding for more EVs would hurt its ability to deliver mail and "waste crucial funds for no reasonable purpose" about.usps.com/who/governme...

Extremely bad. Very bad. “Would be regulated or litigated out of existence in a rational system” bad.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your support. Our incredible Bargaining Committee worked into the night for us and reached a Tentative Agreement at around 5am! 🙏💪🥳🎉 As of now there will be NO STRIKE! Please continue enjoying all our work, knowing you all helped us get here! #unionstrong #voxunion #1u

Even if you're a careful human driver, kids running out from behind/between cars is one of the scariest things that can happen, and it requires a high level of situational awareness. I cannot imagine turning over the avoidance of it to a system like this.

Extremely satisfying to see Zohran lay this out so plainly! (Also I think he cares about making life better for the people of NYC and would work hard to do that!)

Well…

Food prices ain’t gonna like this

Between them, Brian Wilson and Sly Stone account for a hefty percentage of the greatest American songs of the greatest decade in popular music history. This week is a bit much on all counts

BREAKING: Judge says Mahmoud Khalil cannot be detained or deported based on Rubio’s determination. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Can’t emphasize enough what a disgrace this whole sad episode was

*looks directly at camera*

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

My X feed is currently half videos of the military celebration at Fort Bragg and half videos of military/militarized police clashing with protesters.

My favorite ice cream stand in Detroit, MJ’s North End, posted about the possibility of doing a summer reading club inspired by the old Pizza Hut one, and I’m so excited about it I’m gonna wait til I see them in person to say something. I don’t think I could write a normal IG message about it

I just gonna go ahead and say that putting active duty United States Marines on the streets of an American city is, in fact, heavy handed.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.
