Agreed! It's mighty fishy...

Suburbia is Subsidized: Here's the Math [ST07] YouTube video by Not Just Bikes

WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown and all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by #NotJustBikes with #Urban3 & @strongtowns.bsky.social. And PLEASE SHARE it as much as possible.

I’ve sent it to a LOT of politicians.

i.e. look at the stuff I never look at, eh? 😜

It's frighteningly clear when a military action is launched by a "leader" with zero military service and/or zero diplomatic acumen. This illegal action by Trump should not stand.

Thanks to @petebuttigieg.bsky.social for being so clear about the real consequences of this horrible situation.

Ok, I really laughed at this.

Anti-vaxxers are bad parents. Not vaccinating your child is abuse.

We should eliminate all non-medical exemptions for vaccines.

Sorry, not sorry.

How I arrived on Bluesky.

"It ain't so!"

Do I win a prize?

Perhaps a "peace prize" of some kind?

If FIFA had any spine it would revoke the hosting duty of all U.S. cities in the 2026 World Cup and move them to Mexico and Canada - *all* of the games.

But they won't because they're a bunch of crooks and liars...

Would you prefer snow?

Where did you find this elixir?

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Not the point of the thread, but how about we don’t chauffeur ICE around?

Who is making the US unsafe for visitors?

Lather, rinse, repeat.

My new video with Mayor Mamdani just dropped 📼

Our partnership has shown that politics doesn’t have to be sour or ego-driven. It can be a team sport in pursuit of values and our hopes. ⬇️

This is what should happen if you honk at a pedestrian in a crosswalk or creep forward while they're crossing

Get a grip NYPD. It was a snowball fight. Stop acting like New Yorkers enjoying a late winter blizzard is some sort of doorway to crime.

Nice to see Toronto exporting some of its cycling best practises south of the border.

If you're cold, they're cold.
Bring them inside. 🔥

Can I temporarily halt my federal income tax payments until the US government starts taking its responsibilities (and the Constitution) seriously? I'm hopeful I'll be able to resume funding by 2029.

After reading this account of the oversight testimony of Interim MPD Chief Carroll, the only conclusion I can come to is that MPD is not acting in the best interests of the people of DC - and by association, neither is Mayor Bowser by not resisting DHS or Trump.

Both are unfit to serve.

One of NDD's few remaining sycophants.

This is EXACTLY it!

970 The number of agents deployed in Operation Metro Surge that currently remain in Minnesota. 407 The number of agents deployed in Operation Metro Surge and will remain in Minnesota into March.

This shows why you can’t trust headlines or press conferences from the Trump administration. We still need people out keeping watch and staying vigilant until every last agent is off of our streets.

I guess McDuffie believes he can just phone it in.

That tracks with how he's run every campaign he's ever done: take zero positions, don't ruffle feathers, be the "well, he's breathing so there's that!" candidate.

🤷‍♂️

Notably, no McDuffie on this list as I'm hearing lots of people wondering when his campaign will get more visible.

He missed last week's big Anacostia gathering to attend a fundraiser with Bowser pal Ben Soto, multiple sources tell me, which many see as a big missed opportunity.

That's especially the case here in the States, where many winter sports are inaccessible to transit, self-selecting those with the means to participate.

And, well, you know the rest.

Maddening, saddening, you name it - it's not pretty.

Indeed! I just salted my walks because, as you note, things *are* starting to freeze and most sidewalks aren't thick enough to retain the heat of the past few days.
