This rips. Hint to fellow planners: always talk to disability advocates first, you’ll make better plans for everyone.

We do not support alteration of the three classes of low-speed electric bicycles to include other types of devices. We understand that a broad and constantly evolving range of electrically powered devices are entering the marketplace and that their use is growing nationwide.
However, the three class system and its accompanying model legislation was specifically designed to facilitate the regulation of low-speed electric bicycles that closely resemble traditional bicycles in their equipment, handling characteristics, size, and speed. As such, we do not think it is appropriate to insert other types of devices into this bicycle regulatory structure. Accordingly, we have not been supportive of modifying the low-speed electric bicycle class system to regulate devices that: 1) are dissimilar to bikes in their functionality (tor example, products that lack two or three wheels, a seat or pedals); 2)

People for Bikes has been pretty clear and consistent on the 3-class system for e-bikes, I can pretty much guarantee that they were citing this as an example of an e-moto that is confounding rather than conforming. www.peopleforbikes.org/electric-bik...

Simultaneously, they mock & degrade women athletes for not being athletic enough, and then when a few of us are that athletic, they say we must not be real women. The end state of this reasoning is a world where “real” women don’t — and then can’t — play sports. Policing gender hurts women athletes.

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.

How do you even begin to recover from a disaster like this? How do you clean up even after the acute phase is over? This is horrific.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

it’s also all related. the men who traffic children with impunity are the same ones who start wars, bomb schools, support genocide, ignore laws, shirk taxes, beat their wives and children, and steal every dollar they can from the people. it’s all an expression of the same belief: no one else matters

There won't be another movie like Sinners coming from Warners anytime soon and it was brilliant and a hit! People need to understand that part of it. It's not just what they're going to do to your TV. I'm convinced part of the reason they're so hard for WB is they're mad about Cooglers success

Denver will end relationship with Flock as mayor announces new provider for license plate cameras When asked about his views on Flock, Johnston said he had concerns “over the course of the process” of working with the company and that ultimately, they were “not the right fit.”

Denver will end its contract with Flock Safety, the controversial provider of a network of license plate-reading cameras, and will instead propose a new deal with competing company Axon, Mayor Mike Johnston tells @elliottwenzler.bsky.social

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

How Trump Weaponized the Department of Transportation The policies that govern how we get from place to place are usually immune to partisanship. This administration is using them to advance Trump’s authoritarian agenda.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

Trump thought he could intimidate Minnesotans and that we would react with riots. Instead, we showed up with compassion, resilience, and strength.

We showed the country what real resistance looks like.

For observers:

**Keep your distance**

Record the date, time, location, number of ICE agents, and a brief description of the events.

For everyone:

Don’t answer any of their questions and don’t allow them to go through your things. Invoke the 4th & 5th amendments.
