I need someone to explain to me why it’s legal for armed, masked men to threaten people who want to vote, but illegal for people to give voters water to drink.
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia sentenced a 72 year old American citizen to 16 years in jail for tweets critical of the regime he sent while in America.
This week, the Saudis partnered with Elon Musk to buy Twitter.
Do you think the Saudis bought it to promote free speech?

You’d be able to document it about 3,148,791 times this morning in NYC: this monster car pulls thru a red just as our signal goes green and then parent has to wait thru light signal because it’s kinda scary to have to squeeze thru x-walk.
Part of the culture we’ve created.

It's not just drivers who make Halloween so deadly for kids, it's specifically commuters. When you look at FARS data, the deaths remain high year to year but go down when Halloween is on the weekend, as it has been for the last two years.
This year Halloween is on a Monday again

-- Every time I see a sign in my town that says “drive like your kids live here,” I want to change it to “design like your kids live here.”
