At least three Virginia colleges have received bomb threats today: Bridgewater College, George Mason University and the University of Virginia.
Evacuations are currently ongoing at the schools as officials are investigating.
we recently made the switch to electric (finally) ourselves and I absolutely adore the Ioniq EV9. It's also true for road trips (youth basketball tournaments in central PA) it takes a bit more thinking/planning. But, after a few of those you get completely used to it and it's smooth sailing.

Americans do not have a "love affair" with cars, the term typically used in the media.
Rather we are in an abusive relationship, wanting to leave but fearing the consequences.
"Americans prefer a car-dependent lifestyle."
I can't tell you how much I hate this glib sentiment. The only way to determine someone's true, enduring preference is to give them full familiarity with their options. Americans have no familiarity with their options! They've only seen sprawl!
What is βthe E-Bike Effect?β
βThose who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.β
Fewer car trips.

UPDATE: Judge Nelson has ordered the release of a man "shockingly" described in a public post by DHS as "the worst of the worst" based on criminal charges that hadn't yet been filed and were later dropped.
That post may complicate his deportation too.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won todayβs special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Demsβ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

I feel some kind of way about people saying that we are docile cowards when we are being shot in the streets and teargassed on the regular and the response so many have is to figure out where they can go to add their bodies to the list of those willing to die to try to stop fascism from taking over.
