In the Netherlands, over 40% of rail passengers arrive by bike. Since 2012 the country has invested €400m+ to add 200,000 new bike parking spaces at stations. The result? More rail use, fewer car trips, lower congestion and emissions, better public health - and far more efficient use of urban space.

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

An active weather pattern will continue this week across California, with widespread moderate rainfall. Some local flooding issues could occur in areas that saw heavier rain last week, but overall concern is low. #CAwx

Residents in these areas are urged to stay vigilant, monitor official weather updates, & avoid unnecessary travel during the storm-especially if they have been advised of potential mudflow risks. 🧵

California weather PSA:
Fact: Major SoCal storm *is* likely this weekend, w/2-4 inches of rain & t-storms possible in LA (more in mtns) & notable flood/debris flow risk in some spots.
Context: Snapshots showing ~10 inches of rain are extreme outliers, & very unlikely!

A high-amplitude flow pattern, characterized by near-record strength ridging and troughing (respectively) over the western and eastern U.S. and a very wavy jet stream, will bring a progression of notable weather to North America in the coming days.
