one of my most consistent positions is that the broad coalition of people who are not fascists have a lot more in common than a lot of folks on every part of that spectrum will admit and I wish we spent less of our combative energy on each other
I've been running GrapheneOS on my phone and think its great fwiw
In fairness though, my recommendation was full reconstruction of the roadway, but that'll take forever if it even happens.
I wrote a three page memo today recommending against installing bike lanes on a road, and I felt like a traitor the whole time.
There is an empty space for a grocery store in downtown already...

Well, good.
@mikiesherrill.bsky.social Us next?
Except WaPo didn't just die. This isn't a natural death. At best, this was negligent homicide. At worst, murder. Bezos killed WaPo, either deliberately or through willful neglect.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets
Not anymore. This is what you get when you hire an engineering firm to do urban design though.
Because those luminaries are the absolute worst. The style I specified for a project in Millburn are much better. www.arterialstreets.com/project-deta...
@kim.senate.gov oversight isn't the answer.
I have two that aren't doing much.
Liz Lemon and the fuckin guy that is played by the piece of shit who killed Halyna Hutchins. The top panel says “what a year, huh?” And the bottom panel says “lemon, it’s January”
Political Scientists would call it a "tactical concession" (RRS' Spiral Model). Human rights and democracy campaigners need to make sure it leads to more gains (positive spiral) instead of stalling progress (negative spiral).
This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
This family statement is absolutely devastating to read.
First, it should never have had to be written. The ease with which Trump’s admin takes someone’s life, and in this case a citizen, is disgusting and wrong. 1/2
Fixed my snowblower, so central jersey is no longer going to get any snow this weekend. You're welcome.
The people are saying it loud and clear: ICE is dangerous, violent, and operating with impunity.
Our elected leaders must seize this moment and take bold action to block any more funding of ICE's operations.
Outgoing NJ governor Phil Murphy pardoned a killer driver on his last day in office. The driver was the son of a powerful South Jersey Democratic boss. That looks pretty corrupt to me. A killer hit-and-run driver, who stuck and killed a pedestrian. www.nj.com/politics/202...
Minneapolis schools are closing because non-white families can't go outside and Senate Dems are like "ok but you gotta buy some body cameras for ICE"
A video from CSAM website of Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker X.com Today I'm taking action to bring accountability to federal law enforcement like ICE. New legislation I'm announcing will require ICE to adopt rigorous training hiring standards, and for their agents to wear body cameras. These are best practices used by aw enforcement agencies use across our country. We need to bring transparency and accountability to ICE in order to make Americans safer.
Abolish Cory Booker.
Jonathan Ross was so well trained he trained other agents.
“New legislation I'm announcing will require ICE to adopt rigorous training hiring standards, and for their agents to wear body cameras.”

A sign on a pole telling pedestrians to push a button to cross this street.
This sign looks like a ransom note. Also I didn't see anyone actually push the button to active the mid-block crosswalk signal.
Give me liberty or give me death.
The pedestrian committee had basically the same conversation.
Well that is rude.
Hi, my name is ________ and I live in _________. I’m calling to register my opposition to (IF ASSEMBLY) Bill A6235 (IF SENATE) Bill S4834, which would require licenses and registration to operate low-speed e-bikes. License and registration laws for e-bikes will not address roadway fatalities, but it will create barriers to bike use, leading to more car traffic, more pollution, and more dangerous roads in New Jersey. The number-one source of over 500 fatalities and 3,000 serious injuries on New Jersey's roadways in 2025 were cars. Please vote no and ask your colleagues to do the same. (if leaving a message): If you have any questions, I’d be happy to talk and can be reached at ______.
NJ Residents
