The US Is Counting Traffic Deaths Wrong
By emphasizing the number of people killed per mile rather than deaths per capita, traffic safety groups risk normalizing the factors that make American roads so deadly.
"Yes, building less dangerous cars and more forgiving roads would help address the US’s sky-high tally of roadway fatalities. But another way to save lives deserves far more attention than it gets: Stop forcing Americans to drive so much." @davidzipper.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you didn’t voice your opposition to this war, we will hold that against you on Election Day.
If we can’t replace you this time with someone who did, we will continue to try. The primaries will not be kind to you. Ever again.

Judge in Oregon limits federal officers' tear gas use at Portland ICE building protests
A federal judge in Oregon has restricted federal officers from using tear gas at protests at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland
Federal agents are now restricted from using tear gas and other chemical or projectile munitions against peaceful protestors and freelance journalists near the ICE processing center in Portland.
We shouldn't have to fear being brutalized by the government for exercising our First Amendment rights.

I just left another briefing on Iran.

I just left another briefing on Iran.
Here's the only part of Trump's plan that is clear to me:
He won't spare a cent for the 15 million Americans who will lose their health care, but he'll spend a billion dollars a day bombing Iran.

Despite massive bombardment and the assassination of Iran’s leader, the US has failed to overthrow the Iranian government. Instead, the conflict is expanding and becoming more dangerous. The war is devastating civilians and the stock market.

America Still Has a Mission in the World
America’s greatest influence has never been domination. It has been demonstration.
After WWII we could have gone home and left the world to burn.
Instead America rebuilt Europe, defended trade routes, and helped inspire the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Because America has always had a mission.
One we're dangerously close to forgetting.

It's starting to feel like all of my days off are devoted to dealing with contact centres for things which can't be resolved via "digital channels". I don't begrudge the agents, who have a hard job. But the time invested shows total contempt for anyone who is a customer.

It is March, so the town is carpeted with Three-cornered Garlic. One of the prettiest weeds around.

Bush on why he quit golf during the war: “I didn’t want some mom whose son may have died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can. And I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.”

Anyone who needs the importance or relevance of the Epstein files explained to them in 2026 are not worth listening to. Their opinions are irrelevant because they are uninformed at the highest level.

In a stunning public breach of SCOTUS decorum, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson flatly told Brett Kavanaugh that the conservative majority's relentless use of the shadow docket to okay Trump's illegal policies is a "warped" disgrace actively destroying the court's legitimacy.

I think people who say things like this, especially prominent people with power, should be shamed and shunned and reviled — cancelled, if you will.
“Free speech culture” disapproves of that sentiment — says that it’s worse than what Ogles said.
