The second civil war starting in California is not a surprise to say the least. Things are developing quickly. Stay safe. Remember the real fight is not for peace but to stop oppression.

This is why calling for “peaceful” protests is disparaging. They won’t ever paint it as peaceful no matter how “peaceful” it remains. Being disruptive is not peaceful. To try to pretend it is, ignores the point of protesting and fighting against fascism, abuse of power, and the oppression we face.

Trying to improve pedestrian safety by speed limiting e-bikes instead of cars is like trying to improve child mortality by banning puberty blockers instead of guns.

We absolutely can deliver refrigerators with cargo bikes. But, of course, we aren't going to deliver steel beams to a construction site by bike. You can't lump commercial trucks in with "cars." This 100 year experiment with personal car ownership had failed. #BanCars

THIS is what's happening in Los Angeles. NOT violent protestors. VIOLENT LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I think Greta Thunberg is the best example of how there is no way of protesting that will satisfy the scolds. It'll either be called too aggressive or a self-serving publicity stunt.

20 MPH limits for cars and trucks should be the norm for cities across the world.

Another instance of “we’ll do everything to bike lanes that we should be doing to the street.” I really love 🙄 the way cars have a straight path with no obstruction but mobility lane users are forced to the curb (originally designed so cars could park) to maneuver around obstacle after obstacle 🙃

Besides extract trillions from the economy? Well I’ve got a list of the corrupt and horrific acts they have committed against each and every community they have any influence over. First starting with the fact they actively make the decisions that kill people and destroy our community.

"What we face is nothing compared to what Palestinians in Gaza endure," one ‪@freedomflotilla.bsky.social‬ member said. www.commondreams.org/news/freedom...

Every bus stop with a person sitting on the curb because there is no bench (just a sign on a pole) is a policy failure.

If I had to bet, I'd bet these tanks don't leave DC after the parade

Nestled within Arlington County, VA, is a rare Magnolia Bog wetland, one of less than two dozen in the world. This endangered habitat boasts rare native plants and animals but is under threat due to development.

This part!!!! The fact U street and 12th street were open to vehicles is just insanity! It’s like they decided closing down just one block off the parade route will be fine. It’s not like thousands are trying to attend WorldPride 🏳️‍🌈 or anything. 🤬🤬🤬 STOP 🛑 prioritizing cars 🚗 over people! 🚶🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Just bought my first monthly pass for Capital Bike Share 🚲 Excited to see how much I use it over the next month!

Mayor Adams thinks one of these is "an emergency threat to life and property."

After we ban guns, we ban private car ownership

Personally not a fan of Mario kart since it teaches kids to support car centric infrastructure

This is the horror Americans are facing! Our leaders should be doing more than give statements. Do more @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov

Another fire in GeorgeTown 🙃

HAPPY PRIDE! I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for the acceptance and liberation movements! These movements have been led and organized by Black, Queer, Trans, and Sex Workers who weren't allowed to have party allegiance and instead stood up for what is GOOD! SHOW OUT! BE VISIBLE! STAND PROUD!

This was great! So glad to have been able to attend 😄
