@acluofwi.bsky.social Do you have or could you do an online program (or in person) about why you are suing over Flock etc.? Our city council is deaf to our pleas to drop it from our budget. I think they are cowed by the police chief. We need help. Please let me know.

💥 ICE terrorists run over U.S. citizen riding his bike—break his arm. Agents handcuff him behind his back without calling paramedics. They inflict even more injuries—send him to the hospital in serious condition. Then agents detain another U.S. citizen—for yelling at them on the sidewalk.🔻

Too bad our local legal genius decided for the state NOT to pursue a case. Pitiful.

Doug Ford’s war on bike lanes isn’t about traffic—it’s part of a global right-wing backlash to vilify urban residents and defend fossil fuel interests. @desmondcole.bsky.social reports from the frontlines of the showdown in Toronto. breachmedia.ca/doug-ford-bi...

✅ Low-car city-centre streets ✅ Protected cycle tracks on main roads ✅ Ample cycle parking at shops and huge underground bike parking at the station = Streets safe enough for families to cycle, quieter neighbourhoods for residents and more welcoming cities for visitors. 📍 Delft, the Netherlands

Findings of new study – released as fuel prices for motor vehicles soar internationally – include fatality rates dropping, per 10 million trips, by 88% in Paris, 82% in London and 62% in New York City Meanwhile in Ontario…Doug Ford is demanding that bike lanes are removed! 😱

Does replacing parking with bike-lanes hurt restaurant business? Of course not, as this new peer-reviewed STUDY of 15 years of Montreal data showed. ACTUALLY, downtown experienced significant restaurant growth after bike lanes were installed. @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/do-bike-lane...

A civilian geography professor was fired from West Point for pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change.

STUDY: “We estimate that e-bike rebate recipients also reduced their weekly travel costs by 12% after 1 year of ownership, and had a net increase to their physical activity during travel by 14% … they also articulated the value of enjoyment and improvements to mental and physical health.”

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Repeated dawn raids by the police on peaceful, decent people who have made social media posts supportive of Palestine Action. They are being treated as if they were building bombs. Tell me this isn't authoritarianism. www.middleeasteye.net/news/this-is...

The so-called president of the United States is a massive money launderer and cut off by the bank that discovered it. Yet the story barely registers with the legacy media. What a disgrace.

This morning we said goodbye to our best girl, Anna (Banana), 16.5. Border Collie/Maremma Sheep Dog. Chicken guardian, goofball, sweetie pie, car rider, scamp, substitute kittie, cat food thief, lover, beautiful soul. RIP. We will not forget you.

I'm sorry but this looks like the gutter. Pitiful really.

I am going to an honor ride this morning for a woman who was hit and killed by a truck driver while she was riding her bike in our city. Two months have passed without charges.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
