Man, the journey from pro-growth urbanist to fascist appeaser is a lot shorter for some people. It's like Matty found his own personal desire path through the park or something.
I’m sorry, what???

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem
Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.

What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.

Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

We see here a self-styled "honest broker" with decades of experience in downplaying climate change presenting an age-old climate denial trope: using *annual* rainfall data as argument against an increase in *extreme* rainfall.
Does he *really* not know better? Or assume his readers won't?

Three Texas House bills are trying to kill Austin’s light rail, Dallas DART, and defund bike lanes across the state!

Please help us by calling these representatives ASAP and tell them you oppose anti-transit bills HB 3879, HB 3187, and HB 4348.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

A supermajority of voters, California's governor, and Democratic leadership in the Legislature all support California High Speed Rail. As Trump and Duffy try to override the will of the people, let's band together to #FundHSR and #FinishTheLine.
California’s high speed rail project is extremely popular, with two thirds of voters supporting it. That’s huge growth from 2008, when $10B in bonds passed with 52% (though CA HSR has always had majority support)
Forget Trump. Democrats are still high-speed rail's biggest threat
While Trump and Musk are attacking the $100 billion plan, it's Democrats who hold the real power over its fate — and they're not fully on board.

It's one of my constant refrains: We need leaders who understand that "cyclists" are not a fixed constituency but that "cycling" is a thing that should be cultivated.
A personal pet peeve: Politicians and car owners who talk about “cyclists” as though they’re a distinct human species.

In reality, urban cyclists are just regular folks who decided to travel by bike. Many, many more people will make that decision if a city provides high-quality infrastructure.

One of the nice things about being on the left is that most of the shit you believe, reducing poverty, climate change, not randomly bombing places, also allows “humanity to persist on this Earth” in ways not involving asking women if they’re ovulating
No, sorry, not becoming a birthrates weirdo doesn't "yield to the far right the notion that humanity ought to persist on this earth." We can just be the party that says you can have whatever number of kids you want, you fucking dumbass

It’s housing. Democrats should be talking about rent and housing non-stop at every level. It’s tempting to just dismiss this as an NYC problem, but it’s national.

This highlights the absurdity of both sides coverage we so often see on housing, public transportation, or bike infrastructure. One side is advocating for basic human needs and safety and the other...wants an easy place to put their car. It drives me mad that journalists fall for this.
"Saying the need for housing outweighs parking needs is like saying the need for water outweighs the need for food. Sure, you can survive on one for a bit, but not forever."

PARKING IS ESSENTIAL FOR HUMAN LIFE!
