I’m kinda in to transportation, but there’s more to me than that. (Like St Paul and Madison. And Grinnell!) And, of course, all statements here are my own personal views.

We’re seeing a wave of disgusting rhetoric and false claims coming from the far-right about the Minnesota shooting. As real families grieve the loss of loved ones, rightwing accounts are working overtime to circulate disinformation on social media.

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

It takes just a minute to submit a comment (and to point out that we should not be in the position of imploring the government to give us access to the vaccines — that in a functioning country, the government would be encouraging *everyone* to get a booster.)

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

If you take seriously the idea that we need to have zero trade deficit with every country, we better get to helping massively develop every poor country until they’re rich enough to afford our high value manufactured goods. Sounds like a job for USAID.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
