Can we get traffic light and speed cameras too?
The number of NYC drivers caught blocking bus stops dropped 40 percent after the MTA turned on their new bus-mounted automated enforcement cameras. @mbta.com expects to deploy similar technology this year.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

RIP #FrankGehry. I never actually met the man, but working on one of his projects (MIT Stata Center) was one of the formative projects of my career, and opened the path to sustainable design consulting for me.
