"I broke the law, endangered my community, and now I'm the victim because driving safely isn't sexy."
This is the exact entitlement that makes our streets too dangerous for kids to walk or bike to school. The carbrain mindset compounds itself.
The bodies of the two missing workers were found last night around 1:00 AM. Today, Mayor Parker issued an executive order requiring the Law Dept to investigate what went wrong. The report is due in 180 days then a special committee will recommend reforms:

$7.25/hr. Unchanged since 2009. Every bordering state pays more. Pennsylvania legislators? They get automatic raises every year. Funny how that works. Sadly, PA's closed primaries mean you must register under your candidate's party. vote.pa.gov (1/2)
But ya are, Blanche! Ya are the weird stuff!
Register as Democrat by May 4 at vote.pa.gov and Vote Rep. Jenn O'Mara & Sen. Tim Kearney on May 19. If you're not into labels, just know that you'll be represented by amazing folks like O'Mara and Kearney who believe that your vote = your raise. #RaiseThePAWage (2/2)

Map of Florida with text: "Florida SAVE Act Challenged in Court"
The SAVE Act appears dead in the US Senate, but a severe new version popped up in Florida last week. A pro-voting group including the Florida League moved quickly to challenge it. The Florida NAACP argues that the act violates First and 14th amendment rights. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Iconic Andy Singer cartoon with a driver saying “Public Transit wastes money. It always has to be SUBSIDIZED!” He is surrounded by evidence that driving is heavily subsidized. In fact, investing in walking, biking, public transit, and housing for the otherwise homeless saves public money.
One of the biggest disinformation campaigns ever applied to cities involves the constant claims that “driving pays its way.” It’s actually MASSIVELY subsidized, while things like walking, biking, public transit & supportive housing for the unhoused actually SAVE PUBLIC MONEY. #UrbanTruth

My friend Cecilia is the original Zohran and has been a fearless leader for Berkeley. She taught me this city’s politics; she stood next to me at People’s Park. I’m very proud of her.
Syrak has my vote, stay tuned for ways to support his campaign to finish the job Cecilia started!
“It’s not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It’s the same as if you bought a cow or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you’re going to put them.” – Miguel Anxo Fernandez Lores, long time Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain
Remember, don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth
