The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

I’m glad to see Leonard Peltier finally released from prison and able to return home to serve the rest of his sentence. To all of the advocates who raised concerns about the fairness of his trial and his health conditions — thank you. apnews.com/article/leon...

"Gaza development plan" is such an Orwellian turn of phrase, such an abuse of language to normalize a proposed ethnic cleansing

I’m terrible at positive self talk, so sometimes when I’m feeling bad about myself I imagine what my dog would say about me at a dogs-only cocktail party where everyone is standing around talking about their owners, and honestly it’s just the best little life hack

This is not normal. No one elected Musk—but Trump is letting him raid classified material and people's private financial information. A billionaire with his own motives and foreign entanglements. This is a dangerous, unprecedented power grab. apnews.com/article/doge...

Removing trans people from our military will only weaken our national security, erasing billions in personnel development and expertise, significantly harming our military’s recruitment and retention efforts, and ultimately making our country less prepared against threats. It will make us less safe.

People with eyes: "Elon Musk make a Nazi salute." Historians who have studied the rise of fascism: "Elon Musk made a Nazi salute." Mainstream Media: "Elon Musk made a heartfelt gesture that was misconstrued as a Nazi salute."

Read Audre Lorde, Barbara Smith, Jewelle Gomez, Pat Parker, Nikki Giovanni, and Jacqueline Woodson. Watch films by Marlon Riggs and Dee Rees. Listen to Sylvester, Bessie Smith, Luther Vandross, Big Freedia, Brittany Howard, and Janelle Monae. We've always been here. We will always be here.

We took 100+ hours of footage of Lexington Ave in Manhattan, capturing some 75,000 vehicles before and after congestion pricing started, and found the drop in vehicles appears to be coming entirely from fewer personal cars. Also no change in avg car value. Congestion pricing is working (for now).

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. 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.

“I see a difference, definitely,” said Tony, who has spent 18 years as a bus operator for the MTA. “There have been no delays the entire week, and when I look to my left and right down the avenues I can see all the way down – I’ve never seen it like that.” nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/01/10/m...
