Something special is happening in Barcelona. It started last month when some parents organized a bike ride to school for just five kids. Now entire neighborhoods are joining. They call it Bicibús – or Bike Bus.

It’s actually simple: If you can feel pride in things you didn’t personally take part in, then you can feel shame in things you didn’t personally take part in. Some of you are motivated to make this hard, but it’s only hard bc you want the glory of our history but not the burden.

No verdict can bring #AhmaudArbery back, but we are grateful that his murderers are being held accountable. True justice will only come when Black men can jog/walk/drive/sleep/live without fear.

The guy who wrote my prayers has died. His words were my Torah. Sondheim wrote what he wished for himself and the world at large. We'll be learning from his work as long as people are singing songs and beyond. Thank you Steve. newstatesman.com/culture/music/…

JUST IN: The 80,000-member coal miners union, United Mine Workers, just called on Joe Manchin to support the Build Back Better Act, telling him that BBB will protect labor and give coal miners a *better* shot at getting jobs in a renewable energy future.

We've received state funds to help purchase the Panoramic, which will house 100s of formerly homeless people, incl families. Proud my district continues to lead in getting people off the streets, now lets increase state funding & ensure everyone steps up. trib.al/gx06Vhj

“Because every day is all there is”— Joan Didion, to a New York Times reporter, explaining why she put her “good” china to routine, everyday use. It has always been one of my favorite Didion lines, though it never appeared in any of her writings.

Many people continue to understand poverty as a failure of individual people rather than a failure of a society to care for those with the least resources. People are not poor because they deserve to be. No one deserves poverty. Those experiencing it deserve empathy, not vitriol.

I was recently on a flight to Charlotte, and when the flight landed two women, one Black one white, got into an argument after bumping into one another in the aisle. When they got off the plane, the white woman turned to the Black woman, red with anger, and called her the n-word.
