Radley Balko • @radleybalko.bs... • 6h I think it was a huge mistake to make our society so car-dependent. But man. The Discourse today is a good reminder that when it comes to roadways policy, otherwise progressive anti-car people quickly become some of the most pro-carceral, anti-civil liberties people on the planet. 73 ₴ 166 O 632 人 Jessica Pishko @jesspish.bsky.social dude, totally, 100% this was a day for the "i'm a police abolitionist except for crimes i don't like" Dec 12, 2025 at 4:06 PM

Her home state has this campaign called #EndTheStreakTX because at least one person has died every single day in Texas since Nov. 7, 2000 from traffic violence!

40,000 American killed every year. Including my grandparents before I was born. Everyone of those deaths are preventable. Pick a side.

It's been 25 years since the last day without a traffic death in Texas #EndTheStreakTX www.kiiitv.com/video/news/l...

More than 1,000 people who died in collisions on Texas roads last year were not bucked up.

In memory of the 4,167 lives lost in traffic crashes on Texas roads in the past 12 months, I'm following the lead of @farmandcity.bsky.social and walking 4,167 steps as I reflect and strengthen my resolve to demand policies PROVEN to save lives.

#WDoR2024 #VisionZero #EndTheStreakTX

Tomorrow (11/17) I will walk 4,167 steps in Denton to remember the 4,167 lives lost in traffic crashes in Texas over the past 12 months.

No one should feel the pain of losing a loved one in a sudden violent event. I hope you'll join me in demanding change.

Since Nov 7, 2000, someone has died daily on TX roads. That pattern inspired #EndTheStreakTX, TxDOT’s road safety campaign.

But TxDOT says nothing about *its own* responsibility to reduce crashes by building safer roads – all onus lies on individuals.
