Government is fundamentally broken.

Horrible news: Fifteen have died in a shooting at Robb elementary school, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who said there are 14 students and one teacher killed. The shooter is dead.

I know this is a national phenomenon, but it's truly wild how panicked, mean, and unruly the roads are out there. I live in one of the most pedestrian/bike friendly neighborhoods in the U.S., and yet it still feels like a battle to get my kid home from school without a car.


When my youngest was born 9 years ago I thought for sure there’d be structural reform in cost before he went off to college. I was completely wrong.

I'm all for efforts to reduce college debt, but the cause of the debt is the cost of a degree, which is - with some exceptions - way out of whack with the value. If we don't start forcing higher ed to engage in radical structural reform soon, we are all going bankrupt.

I think something useful to provide potential bike share users are maps of the most safe routes (if there are any) to public transit, GMU and other destinations. @CityofFairfaxVA

Never forget, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. As for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. V/@StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…

As a parent, I would like to be empowered and have the choice for public schools to be funded well enough that my kid’s teacher doesn’t have to beg in verse for tissues.
