Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

upon reflection, I have to insist once more that a society interested in its long term health has really got to discourage baldfaced lying rather than constantly rewarding it

A sound response, i.e. noting that the callousness with which federal workers are being fired reflects how all working Americans will eventually be treated by today’s billionaire-run government. . . and how the masses must collectively mobilize to stop it. www.youtube.com/live/QlrQKv1...

Congestion pricing is one of the most amazingly effective policies in NYC transit in possibly a half century. Which supporters predicted - and why pro-car advocates fought so hard to stop it, since its success may encourage its spread.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

On a bike, you’re not hidden behind metal and glass, you’re a part of the world around you. This visibility fosters human connection, whether through a nod, a glance, or just being seen. It’s a reminder of shared spaces and shared humanity.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
