    Mitch McConnell voted 6 times to raise his own pay and 15 times against raising the minimum wage. Kentucky has voted for him for 34 years making him the 11th richest senator, while Kentucky remains the 7th poorest state. Kentucky - PLEASE - repeal & replace McConnell in 2020...

    Seen it before, but I’ll say it again - even if is not the nominee, she will still bring an essential anti-corruption perspective to the primary conversation. You don’t have to like her to see potential value\experience she could bring to the process.

    The President said he’s prepared to put 800,000 people out of work for “months even years” so perhaps that’s a bigger deal than one Congresswoman saying that he should be impeached.

    Just got off the phone with Byford. Says he's never been a part of anything like this where a plan many years in the making got switched up on him in the final months, but he touted his employees as professionals and they're already working on adjustments. More to come.

    Hi, I’m an urban planner in a movie, my plans are carefully informed by evidence and international best practices and are never scuttled at the last minute by a dumb impulsive ego trip by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

    I’m always struck by ppl who express admiration for those like Douglass & Tubman while labeling policies that attempt to build a more just & moral society “unrealistic.” Do these ppl think abolishing slavery was widespread & popular policy proposal in the 19th century? It wasn’t.

    This is the danger of uploading the subway in Toronto. Changing plans last minute, lack of maintenance and investment - not to mention the threat of privatization or breaking apart the TTC by mode. Ontario, this is a warning to us.

    Sadly, politicians that are climate change deniers have this in common 1) cancel incentives for green technology and energy and 2) rush to get excited (and bizarrely take credit) for dropping global gas prices. Sound familiar, Ontario? Wrong side of history.

    Everyone should remember that transit does not exist to make a profit. It exists, like all infrastructure, to help the regional economy and grow the local tax base. Questioning why we have a “money-losing” transit system misses the point entirely,

    I mean FFS. We don't want low income people to suffer the most in a transition from cars. But they already suffer the most under the status quo. Car ownership is the price of basic participation in our economy in America. And that is a very very steep price for low income people

    Clearly, the best way to stop people from watching something is to ban it, make it trend online, and then leave it up on YouTube. Let’s not forget that the world’s largest humanitarian crisis is happening in Yemen right now. Please donate:
