Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

Private tow companies should have carte blanche to tow cars parked like this, or blocking crosswalks, curb ramps, bus stops, or truck/bus turn clearance areas, without prior city approval as long as they can document the offense with a time-stamped photo.

Pedestrians & wheelchair users can simply *deal* bc this driver has decided to use the sidewalk illegally & unsafely as their VIP parking space.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Throw everything at the wall, and write down what sticks.

Tactical diversification and adaptability is the way of successful movements.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results - in either direction.

"The Frog might, as a person, have a message to convey, but the Frog’s costume has no meaning, either. It is the juxtaposition against an increasingly militarized ICE that makes its big googly eyes so powerful."
Incredible writing, give it a read

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Hey big biz—worth fighting this as your voice still carries weight with this regime and absent any cyber security really have no other kind of security at all this era.

As if any more evidence was needed that the regime was not protecting us nor working for America but rather the opposite.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.
