Sad truth: "The closer you look, the clearer it becomes that the US traffic safety crisis is not a reflection of geography or culture. It is the result of policy decisions that elevated fast car travel & automaker profits over roadway safety." bloomberg.com/news/features/…

US Traffic Safety Is Getting Worse, While Other Countries Improve

The rising rate of road deaths in the US continues to defy global trends. Here’s what traffic planners in other nations could teach their American counterparts.

US drivers collide with buildings 100 times a day, with an average of 16,000 people injured over the course of a year. @yitgordon helps tell the story of one homeowner whose life has been turned upside down by those crashes. (HT @ggwash) usa.streetsblog.org/2022/11/…

Most people ring in the new year with a glass of champagne and perhaps even a kiss at midnight for good luck. Richmond resident (and my neighbor) Marilyn Joyner started her 2022 in a far worse...

Proud of this and always will be. My workers are union, make a living wage, have full healthcare, and aren’t subject to racist treatment in their workplaces. Items are made in USA. Team AOC honors and respects working people. You should try it sometime instead of union-busting.

We couldn't agree more, @POTUS. @RepRoKhanna, @RepPeterDeFazio, @RepBowman, @SenSanders, and @SenWhitehouse have bills to tax Big Oil's excess profits and to return that money directly to the people. Let's pass them.

President Joe Biden on Monday will raise the possibility of imposing a 'windfall tax' on energy companies if they don't boost domestic production, as his administration aims to combat high gas prices just days before the midterm elections. apnews.com/article/biden-bus…

Shamefully, AIPAC is working for Republican control of Congress and further destabilization of US democracy. Let’s rally for @SummerForPA. Help her out with a volunteer shift or donation today: summerforpa.com

Whoa... AIPAC's Super PAC is spending against Democrat Summer Lee in PA-12. This looks like the group's first spending in any D vs. R election, and comes as there's some concern over Lee's race because her GOP opponent has the same name as the outgoing Democratic member.

The very best thing drivers can do after 5pm on Monday is: NOT DRIVE. At all. Just leave the car parked.

Drivers: 🎃 Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. 💀 Enter/exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. 🧟 Get rid of any distractions. 🥷 Turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances.

We can’t respond to the current mental health crisis in our schools with more tools of violence like police & restricted freedoms. We need more peaceful solutions like more counselors, social workers and restorative justice. Our kids are hurting and don’t need any more pain.

It’s bike tune up day in the Pittsburgh office! Does @tooledesign subsidize car parking? ❌ Do we pay for transit passes and in-office bike tune ups? ✅

Ever heard of Toulouse as a city centre whose improved street design is revolutionising local prosperity? It’s not normally lauded as a case study. But quality of the street design is staggering. The results are stunning. Literally no empty shops in town centre. How? A short 🧵
