Americans cant clock generational wealth like British people can. Its mostly about Americans wanting to believe that even they can become Elon Musk and Trump if they work hard enough. That hope needs to stay alive like a pilot light in the American brain.

Never in my most pessimistic moments did I expect the response to modern biotechnology saving countless lives in a pandemic to be a powerful elite captured by a conspiracy theory and dismantling our defenses against the next one out of some misguided notion of revenge

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

A friend of mine who works in government helping veterans received an email from a south African billionaire demanding he justify his job to our draft dodging president. That's how absurd this shit is.

I continue to believe that urbanism is not inherently partisan, which is why it’s so sad that the culture wars have melted people’s brains enough to polarize against things as obviously good as active transportation.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

We are in a time where anything can be faked. This is really important to remember. If you want to convince people of your view, make it easy for them to verify its true.

The way other female conservative influencers are turning on Ashley St. Clair, leaking her texts, and smearing her should be a sign to any conservative woman that a movement built on misogyny will not protect you. That your female peers will weaponize misogyny against you, too.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

Not fresh observation but the idea that “government should be run like a business” is an exceedingly stupid one that fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of a functioning democratic government. Redundancies in the event of any problem occurring are the point, not a failure or “bloat”

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Before it's taken offline, I want you to know about the NASA website where you can learn about the stratospheric ozone hole and check on how it's doing. It has cool movies like this one, showing the growth of the ozone hole during the Austral spring last year. ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/SH.html

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

With the cancellation of 08-166 the total money "saved" by cancelling CRP projects is $6.6 million. Some of the projects were nearly finished. If you're a transportation person who relies on NCHRP, TCRP, ACRP, or BTSCRP - talk to your peers about this. Silence isn't going to save us.

I've never seen so many mobilizations, rallies and actions, honestly. They're happening pretty constantly, in cities but also in small towns and in every single state. They're not getting tons of coverage, but they're happening, and they're growing. Join one, or start one, you're not alone in this.
