Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.

Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

Graphic with busy car congested road. Text says car dependency is the opposite of freedom. Mobility freedom comes from mobility choices. Ad is from the Urban Truth Collective.

How about those gas prices? Brutal, huh?

You know what really costs us all a lot?

Car dependency.

hard to overstate how broken it all is if Crude can trade $81 -$119.40 in a day

Co-mingled (like recycling)? 😉

A photo of a white bike helmet in a meeting of international transportation experts and municipal leaders. NORMALIZE THE BICYCLE!

There are choices you can make with active transport: try and hide your reality (e.g. leave the bike helmet or leg strap behind), or embrace and advocate your desired outcome (i.e. “dress for the job you want”).

I choose to normalize the bicycle as a mode of mobility in the U.S. and everywhere.

Or just be like British Columbia and never fall back again...

This sort of thing is always hit with, "LOL he doesn't care he'll never face voters again." In fact, he does care. He has privately said he fears being impeached by a Dem House. And I don't know who I need to tell this to, but presidential approval matters in midterms.

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. 🔥
