Pedestrian & cycling fatalities have risen quickly in the US. But impacts vary. Our new research on Boston shows that: —Traffic injury rates are 4x higher in communities of color than largely white areas. —People of color experience much higher traffic injury rates outside of their home areas.

“I was expressing the views of the US government not my personal view.” Sounds a lot like “just following orders.”

It's do or die for SB 79, the bill that would legalize multifamily housing around rail and BRT stops across the state. The vote could be held as early as tomorrow morning. Californians: call your state senator tomorrow morning to help us get out of the senate! cayimby.org/legislation/...

There's been a lot of research showing increased vaccine hesitancy attitudes among Republicans since COVID-19. My new paper shows that this is reflected in post-COVID Flu vaccine behavior. academic.oup.com/jpubhealth/a...

Good example of what is annoying about the libs here: taking issue with an absurd claim "The US almost allied with the Nazis in WWII" by smearing Howard Zinn for same something totally different: "The US allied with the UK for the usual reasons of state." nathangoldwag.wordpress.com/2025/04/22/d...

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

New — 34 members of Congress are demanding answers from DHS, ICE, and the State Department on the arrests of Rumeysa Ozturk and several other students, seemingly for their political views. "Absent compelling evidence," the members demand Rumeysa's release & visa restoration.

Yesterday USCIS began arresting people at their immigration interviews if they were out of status. Before yesterday, USCIS did not call ice unless a person had a removed order already. This is a significant escalation. These are people who are trying to get legal through the legal process.

It clear that if you are a US based academic, but not a citizen, leaving for conferences is no longer an option. I also don't see it too much of a stretch for them to start harassing US citizens on re-entry.

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

Hamas has proposed ending the war. Israel doesn't want to. That's why Israel violated the ceasefire and is massacring Palestinians right now. Anyone saying otherwise is just trying to obfuscate the obvious. These headlines would be laughable if the situation wasn't so sickening.

I understand that the Senators from swing states facing re-election have some self-interest in voting for this monstrosity. As for the Senators from NY (two of them!) HI, IL, and all the retiring Senators - they have shown themselves to be completely worthless. Good luck with the book tour Chuck.

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/s...
