Trump was furious the Secret Service was screening people at his rally for weapons. "They're not here to hurt me. Take the F'ing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here."

Showing strength and protecting the right to choose is **unifying.** Doing something shows people their vote is worth it and translates to change. Doing nothing is catastrophic. It is not a neutral choice. It’s the destructive choice. It’s time to be brave. Fear is not a plan.

We are witnessing a judicial coup in process. If the President and Congress do not restrain the Court now, the Court is signaling they will come for the Presidential election next. All our leaders - regardless of party - must recognize this Constitutional crisis for what it is.

1/ Dear Republicans: We Tried Your Way and It Does Not Work (a thread):

2/ Do you have to like or support Elizabeth Warren? Of course not. But I damn well believe a man with her same message wouldn’t get half the grief or bullshit. He’d probably be president right now.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's via Urban Cycling Institute 🚲 . The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.

Re. Last night’s #TrumpRally: While often taking on the appearance of entertainment, rallies actually serve an incredibly important purpose in fascist movements, and we’d be wise not to write them off as a sideshow that can be ignored. 1/

The depressing and infuriating context to the UAz shooting — and that's without a single square look at US gun culture

GNU Radio is available to install on Linux, Mac, and Windows using Conda thanks primarily to Ryan Volz's considerable and ongoing work. Bernard Tyers is collecting some feedback and information about how people use Conda with SDR. Have 2 minutes? saneuxdesign.survey.fm/radioconda-sur…

This purchase along with the pitiful amount of money put towards Rail Transformation in the CIP shows how unserious the MBTA is about electrification. Despite calling this purchase a prereq for Regional Rail, the dramatic expansion of mid-day storage for unreliable trains is 1/5

fundamentally incompatible w/ an all-day frequent rail network. This is happening at the same as the T's bus electrification project is floundering. This space could be better used for electric bus facilities. Instead, the T is doubling down on a model that disproportionately 2/5

served wealthier riders. The improved (but anemic by 🌏 standards) schedule actually did make the service more diverse. But instead of investing in the changes to make it even more useful for low income riders (cheaper per/passenger, up to 8 trains/hr) 3/5 commonwealthmagazine.org/transportation…

The T is poised to spend over $1B on diesel and legacy infra while continually missing their own deadlines related to RR and planning to only spend $63M over the next 5 yrs. If Governor Maura Healey is serious about her promise for Regional Rail, the T can't do business as usual. 4/5

This means a reassessment of storage needs and station expansion. It means real money for RR. It means meeting your own deadlines. It also means weaning the agency off the diesel trains- whose performance is so poor the agency is afraid to push them. We need real progress.

This year's Capital Investment Plan fails to make meaningful progress on key projects, like Commuter Rail Electrification⚡ The same old CIP won't cut it. Use our brand-new Action Alert Tool to tell the T to go back to the drawing board: secure.everyaction.com/8digYD6HRkKbFb…
