I feel the same way about "pay attention" scolding as I do about high-viz PSAs
The reason why cyclists and pedestrians push back against these types of campaigns is not because we think visibility is bad (I wear hig-viz!), but because it's victim blaming that diverts attention from the real issues: dangerous drivers and poor infrastructure
“Where the built environment separates human skin and bone from lorries, cars, and buses, there is no need for our frantic striving to make fragile bodies hyper-visible”

Target says they can’t keep ICE out of their stores because they’re open to the public.
After we were *kicked out of Target yesterday*, this NYPD officer helpfully explained to me that Target can keep out:
⁃ shoplifters
⁃ protesters
⁃ ICE
⁃ anybody, actually

Sadly, the push for anti-mask laws is back. The Alabama House has passed a bill that would criminalize protesting in a mask without a doctor’s note.

Anti-masking laws have never been taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court and have had mixed results in lower courts.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
