- Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Within a short period of time we have gotten to a political system where SCOTUS has given the President broad immunity, and Congress says clearly impeachable offenses are "not my lane."- This is most Menards thing I’ve ever seen
- Reminder: Sen @blumenthal.senate.gov (D-CT) is behind several of the most homophobic bills that have passed the Senate in the last several decades. #KOSA is no exception, and his coauthor explicitly said she intends the bill to be used to censor queer people. Call your senators and tell them NO.

- Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.
- What struck me most about the “pause the plan” folks is the lack of interest in a positive future. Just so sad to see a group of such fortunate people, each with a zero-sum, dismal view of the world as it is, endlessly catastrophizing about how any change will be even worse. #a2council

View full threadI currently live in Sunnyvale, California, which is like Ann Arbor’s Ghost of Christmas future: aging, dilapidated housing stock where teardowns start at $1 million, next-door neighbors have a 10x difference in taxes thanks to Prop 13, and the local schools can’t even afford school buses.
- My vision for Ann Arbor‘s future: vibrant neighborhoods with bustling sidewalks, density that supports transit, and local businesses thriving because their workers can afford to be both customers and residents. The choice of growth over fear, abundance over scarcity, and opportunity over exclusion.
- Such a sharp contrast to many of those who spoke in favor, articulating things like enabling their children to bike to school, their friends (even those not married to business professors) being able to afford a home, and wanting their children to not be priced out of their hometown.
- Realizing it's been 8 years since I posted this and crumbling into dust
- A dude on Facebook is trying to explain to me that driving a fuel efficient car is more environmentally friendly than biking because *wait for it* biking requires eating more and the environmental impacts of those calories outweigh the impact of producing, transporting and fueling a car. Amazing
- I got comments exactly like this a long time ago when I made a video comparing biking to driving over the same distance. A certain kind of person will simply say the first nonsensical thing that pops into their head just so they can feel like a clever contrarian
- The year so far: • Dems outperform in 19 of 21 specials and flip two deep-red seats • Liberals defend WI Supreme Court with double-digit victory • Dems win Omaha mayor's office for first time since 2009

- The Omaha mayor, who was very anti-transit and bike just got voted out :)

- RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing. Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign. Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.
- NEWS: Omaha Democrats just flipped the mayor’s seat from Republicans, who have held it for 12 years🔥🔥🔥
