Cyber Fuc*ed. #WorldBollardAssociation

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

It’s amazing that things like cutting FDA funding are never framed as, “I think private companies should be able to profit from having you literally eat shit and you shouldn’t be able to do anything about it”

Two army helicopters flew very low over town a few minutes ago. Less than 400 AGL. No ADS-B (neither was on FR24). I assume they’re flying VFR with only Mode S? Airspace here is all Class G. ATC can still see them right?

One thing I unironically love about Bluesky is that I'm confident I could assemble, from the folks I follow, a top-notch team of experts in ridiculously unrelated fields to solve a major crime. Need a microbiologist, an art historian, a database expert, & someone who can do 73 pull-ups? No problem!

I agee w Patrick. (We lived in China at same time, diff on many things, agree here.) Chinese leaders always reckoned with the vast *depth* of US strength. Institutions, networks, expertise. Now, in cold-blooded rather than triumphalist mode, they recognize they're dealing with nuts and clowns.

Bill Ackman freaking out about tariffs and saying "this isn't what we voted for" is as clear a crystallization of conservative self-delusion as you could ever ask for. Yes it is you idiot, you voted specifically for this! He talked about this NON STOP

I was also a protest medic at our local rally yesterday. Keeping the community and coalition safe is praxis.

We didn’t send a DART, but the USAID team we *did* send, we…fired. While they were there, doing what we sent them for.

I gave a speech at the Bainbridge Island #HandsOff protest about the destruction of #USAID and why foreign aid was a good bet for America. www.facebook.com/rbharania/vi...

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It is sad to see so many rich institutions: businesses, law firms, universities, politicians cave to these idiots without a fight. It would be so nice to see them display a fraction of the courage of a trans person trying to exist. Or a PoC not being white.
