It remains absolutely wild to me that Jalopnik, of all things, has one of the most enlightened editorial views on car culture and windshield-perspective.

This is a blistering editorial that would get you fired from just about any mainstream newspaper for writing.

Because that’s the strange dilemma here. “If every new administration prosecutes the previous one for ‘political’ crimes, then we’ll become a third-world country!”

If we DON’T prosecute crimes committed in the course of running for and holding office, but instead assure every fraud and charlatan and grifter that political victory is a get-out-of-jail-free card, we’ll become far worse than a third-world country. That’s the direct path to kleptocracy.

I'm psyched to see a larger US bike brand making a bakfiets-style bucket bike. Flood the streets with these things. https://twitter.com/TrekBikes/status/1638920614231814144

The xenophobia of the TikTok ban, the hysteria over section 230 which protects speech online, the denial of women's health care in the overturning of Roe, the attacks on teachers and book bans, the persecution of LGBTQ people, the freakouts over drag ... all these things are the SAME THING: rising American fascism. They're all perfectly in line with a white supremacist, patriarchal view of America.

Every day we pretend fascism can't happen here is a day it gets one step closer.

I am really disheartened about people not caring about the rising fascism in the US. Is the idea that ignoring it make it go away this time?
