@foreskingumpp @derekmitchell88 @raagagrawal You might be missing my point of this being irresponsible road rules/street design (a policy/social issue) that causes this to happen. Insisting this is always a case of “bad driving” does nothing to hold municipalities accountable for what we know to be a preventable issue.
@foreskingumpp @derekmitchell88 @raagagrawal Right on red invites drivers to be more concerned with oncoming traffic than pedestrians who actually have the right-of-way.
@raagagrawal This. In Knoxville, I always had to make eye contact with drivers to make sure they didn’t run me over, even when I had the walk sign. Good luck crossing if the driver is too distracted while looking left at a right turn, or you are visually impaired.

Y’all could’ve waited til March to share this. Also, you need to revisit the use of the word “slaveholder”. The people in this chart did a lot more than “hold” enslaved people.
Thanks to scores of amateur and professional researchers, the @washingtonpost tally of slaveholders who once served in Congress has grown from 1,715 to 1,795 https://t.co/coONUhrEBm
