@MDOMTAHolly @Holly_Arnold Why can’t you fix the MTA Mobility office. They are understaffed and incompetent. It’s unfair to the special needs community.

Adjusted for population, the Florida-equivalent death toll was

FL 59,170
CA 39,217
NY 39,551

So states that didn't have governors promoting Covid disinformation and anti-tax propaganda lost far fewer people — the equivalent of ~20K excess in FL 4/

A driver just casually telling the mother of a toddler victim of driver violence that his wife's mild inconvenience is more important than the life of the mother's child.

Seriously, we need to shut down all driving until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Just FYI, more former Mormon bishops have been arrested for sex crimes against children in just the last year than trans people have in the entire history of Utah.

But guess which one makes Mormon parents afraid

Atlanta cut homelessness by 40% through housing

Houston cut homelessness by 63% through housing

Finland cut homelessness by 75% through housing

Tokyo cut homelessness by 80% through housing

The solution to homelessness isn’t policing — it’s housing, housing, and more housing

Also, the tactics that protect pedestrians almost always benefit car occupants too.

“89% of childbirth-related deaths were from causes that could’ve been prevented if patients had better health-care access” - this is in our control and we’re letting women and babies die

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

This is the most horrifying and brutally honest piece about the current state of Texas and prenatal/pregnancy healthcare you’ll ever read.

Don’t ever claim to be pro-life when you let the state be in these conditions @GovAbbott

Truly evil.

Spending $800 an hour to fly the helicopter to tell kids to get out of the pool because we don’t have money for lifeguards just sums up America perfectly.

[David Schönholzer @davidfromterra]

Between 1997-2008, voters in Los Angeles approved a series of bonds dedicating around $20 billion in funding to the construction, expansion, and renovation of hundreds of schools. What was the impact of this massive investment in public goods? Julien Lafortune and I investigated.

NONE of the 23 states about to ban or restrict abortion offer paid family leave.

NO MATTER WHAT those dorks @ the Supreme Court say about abortion — you (yes, YOU!) can get abortion pills mailed to you no matter where you live.

@AidAccessUSA does “advanced provision” which means you don’t have to be pregnant to get them!

I'm almost at the end of a long European trip — mostly visiting friends and going to a few conferences, not having fancy conversations with world leaders — and thinking about what I've been seeing. Here's a chart you might not expect 1/

[Kris Brown | @KrisBrown.BradyUnited.org @KrisB_Brown]

HAPPENING NOW: We’ve laid out 2,280 schoolbooks and broken pencils before the U.S. Capitol.

They represent the 2,280 children that have been killed by gun violence since the Senate has refused to bring a vote on background checks.

We're telling senators: #DontLookAway.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

Matthew McConaughey at the White House just passionately eulogized the lives lost in his hometown of Uvalde, demanded action on gun control measures, and challenged the country to do more to prevent such deaths.

He said, "We start by making the loss of these lives matter."
