We’ve got to get past this “bike infrastructure is only for rich white people”phase. Go to any majority Black or lower income neighborhood, and you’ll see more people biking for day to day needs than anywhere. And usually, with little to no bike infrastructure.

For my first story @latimes, I went to Mexico and got drugs. Specifically, @ConnorASheets and I went to pharmacies, got pills & tested them. Turns out, some are selling oxy & Adderall over the counter – but the pills are actually fentanyl & meth. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Talk to parents IN Florida, talk to Black people IN Florida, talk to the folks resisting censorship IN Florida because some of these takes that don't center the folks who live and learn here are something... I get it, you got Florida jokes ha ha—but this is not a joke to us.
