I've spent 3 years sounding the alarm about the need to invest *equitably* in our infrastructure to #RepairTheHarm done to Black & brown communities. Yet, our budget still reflects different priorities. I'm fed up with our communities being told to wait. @Spottnik, it's your move

To preserve open space we need more dense housing, transit, and walkable infrastructure, with less highways, parking lots, and suburban sprawl

The Railway is the only method to connect towns without ruining them while also preserving as much as possible of the country it passes through

1923: Hitler’s failed coup. No real consequences. No fundamental changes. 1933: Hitler takes power. I wish I could implant this into everyone’s brain.

Lake City Way & 82nd. Only took my best friend getting killed here at this legal crossing for a safe crossing to be installed. But that's the way our current system operates! Without people getting hit, harmed, and killed, there's "no justification" for improving safety.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is not just "unfit to serve" as President. He incited a violent attempted coup against our democracy. He needs to be barred from holding ANY public office again and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Millions of Americans will put walkable Christmas villages on their tables for the holiday season with no intention of seeing their communities look the same. (Buzz feed)

$556,539 per year That’s how much $$$ it costs NYC, per person, to jail someone on Rikers Island in deadly, inhumane conditions, We live in a society that will spend to more money to jail someone than to house, educate, & feed them combined. The cruelty is the point.

This is very impactful! Wow. 🙏🏽 #MuertosFest in San Antonio made an Ofrenda out of School desks in honor of Uvalde school victims. (📹: Cecilia Cruz) These students deserve so much. Rest easy sweet angels. 🤍 #Uvalde

You know we've lost our way when it's legal for armed, masked men to threaten people trying to vote but it's illegal to give voters a drink of water.

Everytime I hit a paywall on some respected journalism site and then simply don't read the article rather than subscrining, I think about how Fox, Breitbart, The Daily Mail, et al. never ever ever paywall their content. I think about this constantly.

.@AOC calls out the source of the political violence in America, "There is absolutely no doubt that the data shows that the vast majority of incidents of domestic terror come from white nationalism. And that we are really, truly facing the environment of fascism."

An eighty two year old grandfather had to undergo brain surgery after being attacked by a hammer wielding domestic terrorist and the right’s response is to make up conspiracy theories about it. This is who they are.

People love to say trite stuff like “we’re not gonna build our way out of this” We’re gonna build something—either housing or jails. The former is cheaper and it works.

I won’t share the anti-semitic sign from the 405 in Los Angeles. I do want to share this: Unchallenged anti-semitism has devastating consequences. So we must challenge and defeat it, along with all manifestations of white supremacist ideology. We can overcome evil with good.

It’s wild to me how everyone has roughly the same “world is ending” feeling right now but some people feel that way because of fascism and climate change while others feel that way, with equal intensity, because of drag queens at libraries and singular they/them pronouns.
