So, Bill. Why did you vote for RKJr? You’re a physician, there is no excuse. You know how dangerous measles is despite all the MAGAts wittering on how it’s good to get parties it & planning measles. Children will die. This is on you.

Regarding NYC’s congestion pricing, we can’t exclude Trump’s petty, vindictive nature as a possible reason for his opposition to the plan. He’s no doubt pissed off that he didn’t immediately get his way with the Eric Adams dismissal. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

I highly recommend the book "Killed by a Traffic Engineer" by @wesmars.bsky.social to the #Bikesky and #Booksky communities. 1/3 www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Seems to me that all these other news outlets should continue referring to body of water as the "Gulf of Mexico" until the WH backs off on the AP. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

I believe this is typical of anything from Trump: "With ... Trump’s previous ... promises to “kill” congestion pricing and otherwise ignore environmental law, the ... brief implies that the administration made a decision first and came up with a justification second." slate.com/business/202...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I received a rather ironic email from the Social Security Administration overnight. I wonder if they have some anti-DOGE tips... 🤔

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

Another petition to sign. I'm sure there will be many more. The key thing about Ekō is that they've had a couple ads on Facebook taken down by meta. That seems like a good enough reason to support them...
