@adhdeanasl One of these days, I’ll figure out how to move instances and see about joining the party. I identify as beige.

this was such a paradigm shift for me! I never realized how much we as cycling advocates were impacted by this one crazy old white guy! @TheWarOnCars is a treasure mastodon.social/@TheWarOnCars/

@elienyc: "The Democratic Party is about to run a Black, South Asian woman against a white supremacist former president. It’s about to run a person whose parents were immigrants against a xenophobe who supports mass deportations.

We all have to push back, all the time and every time. Let’s have her back.

@Lockdownyourlife A week without unprecedented events would be unprecedented this year. 🤔

Congress is set to vote next week on a law that will allow industry groups to own copyright in the laws we all must follow. We need you to tell them to oppose this outrageous proposal. act.eff.org/action/tell-congre
