"We are certainly not activists, “anti-car folks” and “bullies" ... The mayor has now given me motivation to indeed become an activist and fight against his dangerous policies — apparently driven purely by politics." houstonchronicle.com/opinion…

We appreciate @khou covering this story; we interviewed today to explain why a HAWK signal is not a solution here. Spoiler: the Mayor is not a traffic engineer. Our statement here:
We're not showing the moment a teen was hit by an SUV near Lamar HS, but we're showing what happened to raise awareness about a crosswalk that has parents concerned. The 15-year-old was injured but will survive. @JMilesKHOU will have more on the story on KHOU 11 News at 6 p.m.

Parents: remember @houmayor @whitmire_john had a raised crosswalk, part of a safety/traffic calming initiative along a bustling part of Westheimer, destroyed because it was a burden to driver’s commute times. This admin has 0 regrets about putting pedestrians; your kids, at risk.

In 2017, Houston set the goal of becoming a gold-level bicycle city within a decade. Here's a look at how the city's commitment strengthened or wavered over the years. bit.ly/4oG54cp

Public Works says Austin St. work is part of a drainage project, but during his second month in office, @houmayor texted an advisor, "I'm resurrecting the fight against the 2-way bike lane on Austin St" and called @BikeHouston and @RodneyEllis "bullies." axios.com/local/houston/2025…

Text messages from Mayor John Whitmire, obtained by @atotbinc, raise questions about the city of Houston's justification for removing the Austin Street bike lane in Midtown earlier this year axios.com/local/houston/2025…

Once again, @houmayor is making transportation decisions without support from the community, and without guidance from experts. They're called the "Mayor's Guiding Mobility Principles" because they were cooked up @houmayor, not by planners and engineers. houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

We’re incredibly honored to be featured in Greentown Labs’ recent article, “How Climate Startups Can Lead the Critical Minerals Transition.” The piece spotlights ABTC among industry leaders and innovators all pushing the boundaries to secure a resilient and sustainable critical minerals supply chain. “Startups are spearheading technologies that can redefine the way the world extracts, refines, and recycles the materials essential to clean energy.” At ABTC, we’re proud to be leading the charge in urban mining, turning end-of-life batteries into a domestic source for critical minerals. Our long-term partnerships with BASF and Greentown Labs—which has evolved over the past six years ago—are at the core of this mission, enabling localized, circular battery recycling ecosystems that can recover up to 95% of critical elements like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and more. “Recycling is one of the most promising ways to boost critical mineral supply without new mining, and startups are proving it can be done profitably and sustainably.” Our inclusion in this feature underscores why ABTC’s work matters so deeply: achieving true energy independence demands that we close the loop for critical minerals, reduce reliance on imports, and safeguard national security and supply chain resilience. We’re grateful to be recognized alongside such visionary companies and are committed to delivering innovative recycling solutions that help power America’s clean energy future. Read the article to learn how ABTC and other climate startups are transforming the critical minerals economy: greentownlabs.com/how-climat…

Him: but you also get to tell your kids “it’ll be awful because for the first time in mankind human thinking will be taken away and you will no longer have a conscience or free will that is yours and yours alone. It’ll be owned and directed by someone else” Wow.

This Thursday (7/10), we will be donating 100% of profits from all 36 locations to support Texas flood victims. Donations will benefit the Austin Disaster Relief Network's "Central Texas Flood" efforts. Visit any P. Terry's location with your to help support those in need.

Replying to @BayouBikeyBoi
Atlanta (population 500,000) has a whole transportation department, with an infrastructure management team, a strategy and planning team, and an engineering team. Houston (population 2.3 million) has a senior advisor in the mayor’s office who thinks bicycles are toys.

On Monday, the Mayor ordered the removal of many Austin Street safety barriers. On Tuesday, I told him those barriers saved my life.
