As both a teacher and a parent, I see every day how challenging it can be for families to figure out how to give their children real freedom in the world. Again and again, the #BikeBus shows me that it is one of the best tools we have for scaffolding independence.

Winter biking (& all biking) is not “all or nothing.”

Bike when it works for you.
Walk/take transit/drive when it doesn’t.

Use the bike & weather gear you have.
Add/upgrade as you see fit & can afford.

You may be surprised at what works.
Just got back from biking home and I have to say as someone who also drove someone's car in the snowfall for a little bit today, I felt safer and more in control on my bike then the car.

And I don't even have fat tires or studded tires. Just my regular road bike tires.

You can't buy a station wagon because the CAFE loophole allows them to sell massive trucks and SUVs that don't have to follow those standards.

You don't have to throw out fuel economy standards, you have to throw out the loophole.
If you pull air-quality data (or childhood asthma rates) comparing the 1970s to now, you'll see tougher fuel economy standards have had a huge positive public health outcome. The chart below (for ozone in SoCal) is similar for carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other nasty stuff.

Trump would kill people if it helped him politically.

He said as much about being able to murder someone on 5th Ave and get away with it.

He wants you dead if it helps him stay in office.

He is pure evil.

Maybe Trump's glazing of Mamdani is entirely based around the margin that Mamdani won New York by and Trump misses New York and wants to be popular there.

The combination of unique politics, climate change, and bad luck have brought a true drought emergency to Tehran.

"Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Tehran’s residents would have to ration water—and eventually evacuate the capital—if there was no rain by late November."
Prolonged water cuts across Tehran have created widespread panic among the Iranian capital’s 10 million residents.
Tehran’s Residents Are Panicking as Taps Run Dry
Years of drought and neglect have left the city nearly unsustainable.

At this point the thought leaders of the GOP are a collection of sex pests, nazis, and hardcore zionists. I don't see how that coalition stays together much longer.....

"Mamdani has presented some sort of existential threat to the media, both on the right (full-on panic) and in the establishment press (somewhere between hostility and puzzlement)."

Good @sulliview.bsky.social on media and Zohran (cites mine positively!)

I don't get Medicaid.

I’m not on food stamps.

I rely on no Social Safety nets.

But I still believe in FULLY funding these programs.

Why?

Because I'm not a cruel ruthless selfish piece of shit.
