Rode my ebike down to the Georgia State Capitol to join @sairaforgeorgia.bsky.social to rally support for our public health workers at the CDC, and to call on state leaders to grow a spine and push back against indiscriminate cuts by "DOGE." I can't believe I gotta rally for this sh*t...

It was nice to be in her corner, cheering, for just one day. Apparently one day is all you get.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

in his statement "cancelling" congestion pricing, sean duffy calls people who ride the subway "an elite few" and i just feel as a communication professional that they gotta decide if they're going with that or crime-ridden drug den homeless shelter

Here we go. Trump is moving to kill NYC congestion pricing (which is working spectacularly well). USDOT is trying to pull federal permits that have already been given. Very much an open question how this will unfold.

I wrote about the great Don Shoup, who was the kind of person you'd go to for an answer to a single question about parking and come away with 20 more story ideas about how to fix everything in LA

Got an email about the annual FAFSA filing for my college-attending daughter. Immediately got into an online chat with a Dept. of Ed. agent to voice concerns about data security and privacy with DOGE's Muskrats pillaging government servers. I suggest everyone in a similar situation do the same.

Some absolute HERO used packing tape to keep the beg button pressed at the Bill Kennedy Way / Memorial Drive pedestrian scramble. The only thing wrong with this is that I didn't think to do it first.

This is insane. How is offering resources for communities working to ensure fewer people are killed on streets and roads a partisan political issue? Yet here we are. smartgrowthamerica.org/federal-acti...

Georgia Department of Transportation has proposed two safety-enhancing projects -- one along East College Avenue (SR 10) in Decatur and Avondale, and another along 14th Street (SR 9) in the City of Atlanta. Each project includes new bike lanes and pedestrian safety improvements.

Short, clear overview of how the government's payment system, which usually operates out of sight for most of us, is critical for nearly every facet of daily life, regardless of your political party. Good to share with your friends and family who aren't following the news. youtu.be/RIHNlUygxlI?...

As our new president and his favorite broligarch move to dismantle US foreign aid in the name of making America “great again,” consider this:

@USAID is enduring an unlawful shutdown, purge, and dismantling. It’s thrown its vital work into turmoil—based on spurious, absurd, and willfully slanted attacks. Here's what’s real: the massive and growing harm now being caused. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...
