Pole on sidewalk before an intersection. Green rectangular sign on pole had a circular blue light that goes on when a bicycle rolls up.
It is so thrilling to pull up and watch the bike detected blue light go on.
No pushing a beg button far away on the sidewalk.
No waiting for a car to trigger a green light for me.

mamdani being a cheerful normal guy that people project absolute insane things on is one of the things that make him very relatable to me, personally
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day
The current 12-game Jeopardy champion works at an affordable housing finance agency in NJ, and shamed New York for not building more housing:
"NJ's doing really well, we're ahead of NY, CT, PA. If you're from one of those states, shame on you, build more housing."
Ian!
CBS headline reads: "Supreme Court to weigh Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship in test of second-term agenda."
This movement has never been about violent criminal aliens, undocumented immigrants writ large, or even immigration in general, but about the country’s changing ethnic and religious makeup. It has always been about white Christian nationalism.
I worked on Dem congressional campaigns when he was head of DCCC (and met him thru that), and he was v. good in that role.
His presidential run, however, is quixotic and I don't see the appeal/his lane.
A reporter should know who Rahm is, tho (won the House, WH CoS, Chi mayor, Amb, famous brothers).
i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin
Nothing wrong with that, but seems kind of random. Maybe he was also on a West Coast fundraising swing or had some other events nearby?
IDK why he was there, but cool to see Sen. Chris Murphy at the No Kings Rally in my sort-of hometown.*
*I grew up in neighboring Redondo Beach, but I was born in Torrance and went to middle & high school there.
Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.
Six months into Bari Weiss’ overhaul of CBS News, new ratings data obtained by Status shows its flagship programs are shedding viewers at an alarming rate, collapsing to historic lows and accelerating the network’s decline.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.
ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.
The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.
Budgets are moral documents.
ICE was at SFO airport last night, terrorizing a mother while her daughter watched. So much for the “hey we’re sending ICE to airports to fill in for TSA” BS.
ICE OUT OF CALIFORNIA
The 15th Street Protected Bike Lane south of Constitution Ave is slated to be removed on Monday, per 2 sources
Reportedly DDOT did not raise strong objections to it and has further not objected to using the Hains Point bike lanes for car traffic during the cherry blossoms
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him
I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit
A story that is not being told enough about the Iran War is that the U.S. and Israel have totally different, incompatible goals. The U.S. says it’s targeting weapons systems. Israel wants regime change and a failed state. This conflict leads to total incoherence.
Arizona: RTC supports Connect Pima/RTA Next, Props. 418 & 419, as they would provide funding for bike/walk infrastructure improvements in the Tucson area, as well as public transit. Learn more: https://www.connectpima.com/impact/
So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region.
The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well.
Incompetence everywhere.
after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.
Much more serious things happening in the world, obvi, but if you live in the DFW region, Dallas is taking a vote on March 4 to decide the future of one of the most important pieces of 20th century architecture, IM Pei's city hall building. Contact the city council and urge preservation.
This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.
When I worked on campaigns 20 years ago, getting support from AIPAC was a third-rail you didn't touch. It's awesome how casually they drop not getting AIPAC money.
Breaking News: The Justice Department did not release key records in the Epstein files about a woman who made an unverified accusation against Donald Trump. In 2019, the woman said she had been sexually assaulted by Trump and Jeffrey Epstein decades earlier, when she was a minor.
