WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.
Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes
Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

It's important to know that the British student targeted by ICE and by Google is Black. Racism here has the function of providing a vanguard for further attacks on all our rights and liberties.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

A truly wonderful video on the lack of science or sense in Forester’s “Effective Cycling”.
How were so many people convinced by his baseless assertions?
WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

Greatest American Grift continues.
Trump's attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which have included gutting its workforce and dropping enforcement actions, have cost consumers nearly $20B in the last year alone.

It's a new golden age for corporate crooks.

And Trump is happily letting them rip us off.

It's remarkable this can even portrayed this way. It is the DJT Government committing treason. The vast majority of citizens of the United States want this disaster of a government GONE. Get rid of these treasonous villains.

Looks like one of those jets flew from San Francisco to San Jose, which is absolutely wild

If you widen that highway

you won’t reduce emissions

or congestion.

What you WILL do

is spend a lot of public money

to induce even more cars

emitting even more GHGs and pollution

in the same or worse congestion

with people still demanding that you widen the highway.

Period.

ICE armed with assault rifles break down bedroom door—yelling "I'm going to take you down!"

"I'm going to use this!" agent said pointing to gun. "We are going to gas your whole house."

I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless.

So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms.

Tonight at 8:30 PM our constituent Ricky was pepper sprayed by ICE on 18th & Polk. 2 agents parked their car, got out and approached observers, started pepper spraying Ricky on public property, and then drove away and left.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minnesota. ICE must be abolished.
