A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

I would rather attend an event with a super shitty, MS paint made flyer, an event with a flyer scrawled in crayon by your nondominant hand, than attend an event advertised with an AI slop flyer.

Inside Trump’s Effort to “Take Over” the Midterm Elections When Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, the institutional guardrails of American democracy held. But if faced with the same tests today, those barriers — and people who held the line — would l...

Trump has destroyed federal guardrails meant to ensure secure and fair elections.

Some fear his actions are aimed at making sure the upcoming midterms go his way.

Eight *kids* and I had to ask my wife about it when it scrolled by on local news. We're a nation with massive brain-poisoning.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

Oh my God

NYC study shows men are 2.6x more likely than women to bike to work. When protected bike lane coverage is high, women’s cycling rates rise significantly faster than men’s.

When protected lanes are limited or fragmented, women’s participation drops sharply.

Good bike investments give women choices.

Why are Koch-funded activists trying to derail a US city's public transit? Phoenix will vote Tuesday on a light rail system expansion. It faces opposition from business owners backed by activists affiliated with the Koch network

“Koch brother groups have tried to derail public transit plans in other cities around the country, from Little Rock, Arkansas and central Utah, to Nashville and Michigan. They have frequently called such projects ‘wasteful spending’. The Koch organization is also heavily invested in fossil fuels.”

"They were so lucky I was looking"

Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.

Drivers Keep Crashing Cars Into This Avondale Building — Will The City Do Something About It? The issues stem from drivers speeding in the Western Avenue bus lane to bypass traffic, neighbors say. Crashes near Western and George are so common, neighbors stopped parking or crossing the street i...

Drivers on their phones have literally hit buildings. Should you be cautious as a pedestrian? Absolutely. Will it absolutely prevent you from being killed? Nope.

A related point I like to make: The act of riding a bike is inherently very safe. The danger comes from cars.

Oh yes let’s imagine that.

In a non car-brained world, the fact that elite cyclists are regularly hit, and often killed, by drivers should lead some of the victim blaming people out there to question what they're saying. You can do everything right and still die.

We used to be a proper country
