Having done my best to piss off a lot of people on this website one thing that stands out is how people who are accustomed to driving their car everywhere have never even really given car culture any thought. Like, no part of it.

That video of Mitch McConnell is tough to watch but not nearly as tough as it is for the many millions of people in our country who can't afford lifesaving and life-dignifying health care specifically because of McConnell's career-long efforts to ensure they don't.

Today, Ohio voters rejected an effort by Republican lawmakers and special interests to change the state’s constitutional amendment process. This measure was a blatant attempt to weaken voters’ voices and further erode the freedom of women to make their own health care

Next time Ohio politicians start lecturing you about the importance of fiscal responsibility be sure to remind them that taxpayers just shelled out roughly 20 million dollars to pay for a special election that simply maintained the same voting rights we've had since 1912. #OH

It’s illegal for Class 3 e-bikes in CA to have a throttle (quick accelerator) The Hummer EV has a “Watts to Freedom Mode” that goes from 0 mph ->60 mph in 3 seconds Make it make sense 🤷🏾‍♀️

The rich and powerful are literally telling us "I don't mind if you die." It's in this video. You can see it with your own eyes if you watch til the end. What more must we say to convince you? What more must we do for you to understand the truth?

It’ll never stop blowing my mind that we can build stuff like this for one day of an automobile race but can rarely do the simplest things to improve transit or the pedestrian realm

Stop whatever you are doing. Drop it. Nothing else matters. Nothing matters besides this graph. We could lose it all. We could have bloodshed and suffering at scales never seen. It doesn’t matter you got promoted to associate analyst at fucking Deloitte. Don’t you see?

I hate mugshots. I get that it may feel great to see Giuliani, Powell, Eastman line up, but mugshots and the prevalence of them literally ruin the lives of millions of ordinary people. The more we celebrate horrible features of the legal system the further ingrained they get.

Hard to believe that our current situation is some climate scientists saying it’s too late, most climate scientists saying it’s not too late but it nearly is, and most of the public completely unaware that it’s even a fraction of as serious as it is

If you would like to understand why zoning abolitionists exist, read this thread about a high school that cannot move across the street into an existing under-used community college campus while its building is being renovated because the campus isn’t zoned for K-12 education.

I've been surprised to hear from a few of you who ride regular bikes who are support e-bike licensing. This is a bad idea -- for you, personally, as cyclists. (Even if you're white or rich or don't care about delivery workers. I promise.) Let me explain. Reason number one...

ARGH!! HOW MUCH MORE CATASTROPHE DO YOU PEOPLE NEED BEFORE YOU DECLARE CLIMATE EMERGENCY AND START FUCKING DOING SOMETHING!!?

Remind me again how addressing the #ClimateCrisis will “cost us too much?”

Ok I’m gonna stop tweeting again because talking about this is actively absorbing my entire life. But I just wanted to say this here. Okay

Every one of her points is completely valid. No one should have to surrender their entire waking life to work and in fact Gen Z's disgust with mandatory, in-office 40 hour workweeks is a tremendous opportunity to instigate change.
