"Protected lanes may vex drivers, but a little delay or the loss of a parking space is not equivalent to a life-changing injury." 100%!

But ALSO: more people biking (or taking transit or talking scooters) means fewer people in cars and therefore less traffic for those who drive

🧵It's the moment the Chicago Sustainable Transportation Advocacy Nation (C-STAN) has been waiting for. The Trib ran its 1st batch of 📨s re: bikeways, from folks ranging from heavy-hitters to stereotypes!

A city report has found that Chicago's bike lanes don't hurt businesses. https://t.co/eUv4gFgITC

Reach right to save lives. The Dutch Reach uses your far hand to open your car door, forcing you to pivot and check for oncoming cyclists. 🚴 It’s simple. It’s common sense. Let’s keep each other safe this summer! @bikelaneuprise

Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.

Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.

Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.

William Brangham (@WmBrangham) explains.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Riley was killed by a driver yesterday while riding in a painted bike lane on Halsted in Bridgeport. My life was personally improved by some of the bike racks Riley installed despite never knowing him. Please drive safely & advocate for safer bike lanes. Paint is not protection.

@theChicagoStars @Wintrust Good win! You need to fire everyone. One goal on an individual piece of brilliance by Mal covering up for a terrible performance v 9. There's no identity, no attacking plan and little quality as they don't seem to know what to do. Fire everyone while you can still save the season

Trump just wants what most Americans want on housing: Low prices for buyers and high prices for sellers

My friend Nik just published his magnum opus about bus stop spacing in Chicago over on @acitythatworks.

It is a must read for all transit riders!

We have double the amount of bus stops as the national average, and our buses are miserably slow as a result.

Nik painstakingly mapped what bus stop consolidation could look like for every stop in the city using modern standards.

I'm pretty pissed off about the fact that a bunch of Americans will probably have to die fo cancer because of insane antivax/MAGA politics.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

People realize these are vaccines for CANCER, right?

Like, cancer was going to become a treatable disease because of this funding. Now your cancer will be a death sentence, because of RFK and Trump.

⚡️ Here’s what the major tax provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill means for the US economy, government revenue, deficits, and taxpayers.

Our latest analysis:

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

NEW

At least 11 major companies are moving away from doing business with the law firms that caved and signed deals with President Trump.

Even though some of these companies are led by executives who support Trump, they do not feel comfortable having a law firm that caved to threats representing them.

Other companies, like Morgan Stanley, are now actively seeking out the firms that didn’t cave, in order to give them business.
