Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

This is not morally or legally different than lining up two dozen men and shooting them in the face.

I learned about this guy from my coworker who thinks he is a genius. Which told me a lot about my coworker.

Thank you Portland for making Speaker of the House Johnson say that he’s scared of naked people on bikes.

Is he saying naked cyclists are too much for armored and gun carrying ICE thugs?

“Most recently, the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there," Johnson said. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

E-bikes are marvelous. I’m not feeling 100% today, and all it took to make the beautiful fall ride with my children happen was turning the assist up from Tour to Sport and Turbo.

Who’s running the show in the Senate?! Why does Sean Duffy not know that John Thune (R-SD) is Majority Leader?

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Over 60 cyclists pass on this side of the street in under 30 seconds. And their flow only stops because the traffic light turned red.

An efficiency impossible to match if these people were driving.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Cutting down on the junk in the air and on you helps! You might have had 0 good days without it.
When my oldest was 2, masks were still mandatory. They didn’t mask for meals and nap, and 2 year olds are obviously not all great at masking. But it was so much better than the next year with no masks!

Honestly getting rest when you can and leaning on your social network is probably the best you can do to get through it. Even just asking people to drop off soup for you is something that most people would be happy to do for you, even if it feels weird or bad to ask.

A drunk teen once crashed his bike in my yard, I am so thankful that he didn’t drive into my daughter’s room.

There were some teens doing wheelies in the road outside a high school (endangering themselves only). I’ll take that over teens revving the engine or speeding in a lifted pick up that daddy bought them (endangering all people around them) any day.

Every time someone tells you about how someone does something dumb in a bike, shudder and say “at least they were on a bike, imagine what they’d do in a car!”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
