I want to win cases in court against criminals. This makes that less likely, because your case ends up relying on proven liars. it's bad for public safety, and undermines the police.
Brady Disclosure - when a cop has been proven to have lied in official documents or testimony in the past, attorneys have to disclose that.

This is yet another cop that is a liability in court because he's a proven liar.
In police and court documents, the officer who drove the car claimed that he had been heading straight west on E. Second St. in the East Village, and had tried to avoid Davis, who he said slammed into the NYPD vehicle. The surveillance video that captured the crash contradicts that claim.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

SDOT says that Columbia City doesn't have enough parking so we have to create more paid parking on a few streets which are currently part of the RPZ zone, but the offstreet paid parking we have isn't filling up.

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.
My teenage son just told me that all of American Politics right now just "seems like a more complicated version of The Sneetches" by Dr. Seuss.

I can find no gaps in this analysis. 10/10 endorse.
Jesus. Get on a plane and go there. Ur crazy.
It’s way more than just biking- this is the exact same thing as @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social or Katie Wilson on a bus. People who put their actual bodies in the city instead of driving past it in a sealed box understand the city better.

Tigard's new mayor is an everyday bike rider
The morning after being named mayor, Yi-Kang Hu rode with his local bike bus.

We ask everyone outside of the car to be safe so that drivers can be dangerous.

That’s the entirety of our approach to road safety.
Is his company based in Seattle? I thought all the Microsoft jobs were in the burbs.

Attorney General Bondi recently threatened to put me in jail. Now, the President has threatened to put the Illinois governor and Chicago mayor in jail.

This is about as authoritarian as it gets.
The grid is better with solar + storage.
The historically volatile Texas grid was entirely stable this summer, despite extreme temperatures. Grid operators never once had to ask Texans to conserve energy or shut off their air conditioners.

Why? Solar & batteries. Want a stable grid? Try solar & batteries.
Solar and batteries had a record-setting, grid-stabilizing summer in…
Solar has set 17 power generation records in Texas so far this year, shoring up the grid alongside batteries as some gas plant developers step back.

This Reuters headline. Oof.

Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE.
www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
“investigation determined that James was crossing the westbound lanes… when he was struck by a Nissan Murano headed west… The driver… stayed on the scene. No charges have been filed.”

The driver killed a kid. “Was struck..” sounds like a nut fell out of a tree. A person killed another person.
They’ve had chance after chance after chance after chance after chance after chance… before and still stuck with him.

I don’t believe they will change until I see it and it sticks.
This is getting very close to something very scary. If ICE and the National Guard come into direct conflict... that's a terrifying problem. If they are commanded to protect protesters, and ICE attacks someone, and the Guard do nothing, that's worse.

Here’s video of the incident
~20y ago I chose a neighborhood in a walkable neighborhood. I could've had a bigger house/yard, but I chose this.

I walk to the grocery store, library, parks, light rail, bus, coffee shops, bars, & restaurants. I bike more places.

All in <15mins. Awesome life. More people should have this.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Shouldn't there be a bunch of comments like "Bellevue is dying" on this by now?

Weird, that's what they do when it happens in Seattle.
We purposely made it illegal to build more housing, denser, in more configurations, in more places. It's illegal to do that in most of the city. We did that.

What if we just didn't make that illegal anymore?

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her
ICE has been caught lying multiple times, caught escalating needlessly multiple times, arresting the wrong people for the wrong reasons in the wrong places constantly.

Anything this organization says should be presumed a lie. Prove it in court. Until then, they're lying until proven truthful.
