This is the 23 year old DSA Councilwoman Ayah A. Al-Zubi in Cambridge who proposed getting rid of shot spotter along with Burhan Azeem. Cost this man his life a month later.
being a cyclist kinda sucks politically because your options are always
Candidate A: loves bike infrastructure, but refuses to jail bike thieves
Candidate B: wants to send bike thieves to the gulag, but hates cyclists
anyway my bike was stolen last week, RIP
Cambridge disabled Shot Spotter because they said it was racist. Then a black Public Works employee got shot, lay undiscovered for over an hour while bleeding out in a public park, and died because first responders didn't know a shooting happened

Every windmill and solar farm and transmission line a NIMBY blocks means more of this. Then they'll turn around and tell you you're evil for buying the wrong hummus.
@r3naiss4nc3@firstshowing@papierlilies The web as we know it now exists due to an explosion of free market ideas, backed by venture capitalists making risky bets the government would never make. The soviets couldโve developed fiber optic cables, but that ecosystem couldโve never developed letterboxed.
@firstshowing@papierlilies Capitalism didnโt take over the web. Capitalism built the web from scratch using structures that wouldโve never existed under communism.
