OTD in 1943 German student, anti-Nazi activist Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans, and Christoph Probst were tried & executed. Sophie’s last words: “Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?”

"Trump also revealed...that he wants to use his power to remove one of the biggest contributing factors to traffic congestion in the first place — bike lanes. 'They should get rid of the bike lanes and the sidewalks in the middle of the street,' he said. 'They’re so bad. They’re dangerous.'" (NYP)

Lovely afternoon ride along the Fallowfield Loop and Ashton Canal. So nice now it's a bit warmer.

Hey @translink.ca this driver said they do work for you so they're allowed to use the bike path. Is that cool with you? #bikesky #bikeyvr youtube.com/shorts/CIVw3...

I really enjoy this channel . Bike talk by bike riders in #chicago . Lots of difference perspectives and experiences. Sometimes YouTubes algo can just throw up the ‘rode across Patagonia in a week’ type videos . Good to watch but this is everyday cycling by everyday people . Alt-cycling is everyone

My favorite bakery complains in the newspaper. They spoke out against a bike path in front of their shop. The path was built on a parallel street. Now they complain that fewer customers come every day. They have left the customer selection set. Marketing for dummies. Sorry, I am not sorry.

Infrastructure standards: If your bike lane can't support pulling a suitcase on wheels behind your bike, it's not engineered properly.

Keep thinking about the twirly wirly cycling bridge in Leuven- will get a better video next time. It was delicious! Alt text: it’s circular so you go round and round to get up there. So good!

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Per @juliadavisnews.bsky.social: “The Trump administration wants revenues from Ukraine’s natural resources, according to a draft obtained by The New York Times, with no security guarantee in exchange. Some of the terms appear even worse than in a previous draft.”

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

NEW: Trump has fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Chief Naval Officer & the second in command at the Air Force. He is also firing the top lawyers in the Army, Navy & Air Force. These are EXACTLY the steps you’d take if you planned not to step down peacefully in 2029.

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.
