People are literally dying in streets in DC because the DC government has not stepped up to challenge of building sufficient safeguards for bikers or pedestrians. It's a shame, because DC had a good start on its bike lane. It is not maturing fast enough. washingtonpost.com/opinions/dc-of…
Here is the related story in The WashPost
washingtonpost.com/local/traffica…
And another recent WashPost piece. Protected bike lanes are not expensive to build. And they save lives washingtonpost.com/transportation…
Opposition from all kinds of places to building safe bike lanes, even from the organic crowd. So you can eat organic vegetables, but get killed riding your bike to pick them up? Everyone deserves a share of the city infrastructure. Read here at popville.com/2019/02/bike-l…
(Back to work now. Yes, this bothers me. Especially when I hear groups organizing to fight much-needed bike lanes. Would you fight building a street to serve a neighborhood? Or a sidewalk? Bike riders need safe options too)

Nearly two years after I was sued--the first time in my career--for a story I did in 2015 about lobbying by GMO & organics industry related to GMO foods, a federal court judge in Florida today dismissed the case against me & The NYT. Here is his opinion. documentcloud.org/documents/5753…
This is the first time I have tweeted about the case, for obvious reasons. Here is the story that was the subject of the lawsuit. nytimes.com/2015/09/06/us/…

SCOOP: Blaming Political Climate, Trumps Give Up on New Hotels. Plan to build two new mid level brands called SCION and American Idea are shelved. @SteveEder @benprotess nytimes.com/2019/02/14/us/…
Statement to NYT from Trump Org: "We are not going to be doing any new deals for SCION & American Idea. If the right opportunity comes along for a luxury Trump project, we will absolutely consider it but right now we are going to sit back & focus on our existing portfolio."
From our story: “The retrenchment comes as the company faces growing scrutiny from federal prosecutors and congressional investigators, and as a former employee, Michael D. Cohen, heads to prison for multiple crimes.”

I’m at the Senate Inquiry into #ParentsNext today. Thread 👇🏽
Hearing from @CSMCVIC, @GoodShepANZ & @CFECFW. Their key issues w #ParentsNext:
1) miscategorises parents as ‘unemployed’ - parenting is work
2) should be voluntary, inappropriate to link parent support to TCF
3) undermines human rights obligations, targets single & ATSI mothers
Question from @SenatorSiewert about privacy prompts testimony about single mothers being fearful about disclosing info about kids schools etc when their abusive ex partners are stalking them. Getting family violence survivors exempted from #ParentsNext described as a “minefield”

When people talk about our mental health system being so lousy, we need to really pinpoint what that means. It's not just that it's inadequate. It's that it's downright dangerous.

I'm speaking from experience.

Incoming: "Asking For Help Isn't Enough" — A Thread. 🧵
My first "run-in" with the mental health system was actually when I was a freshman in high school. A classmate of mine reported me to their counselor as a self-harm risk. I was 14 years old.
Context: I had a very, very strained relationship with my family at that point in time. I did not, in any way, want them to know about my mental health struggles for valid reasons. The school did not do any kind of abuse screener — they simply called my parents.

I too lived under Section 28. I marched in Thatcher's London streets over it.

I also was arrested in NYC, Philly & DC protests because gay friends were dying & Silence=Death.

Live your smug privilege, just know you're complicit against us, not some freaking role model for us.
"I lived through it & it did me no harm."
What the bloody hell?!
The havoc wreaked by anti-gay ordinances like Section 28 ruined lives. And someone explain to @matthewtoomer that the GAY MAN who helped end WWII in the UK, #AlanTuring, killed himself b/c of anti-gay laws, FFS.
And his whole TL is full of equally smug nonsense. It's not legal to be gay or lesbian in 103 countries. There is NO protection against anti-#LGBTQ discrimination in the US.
We were silent for 100s of years and str8 folks did NOT "tolerate us," they jailed, raped and killed us.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

So @NPR @nprpolitics, I have some feelings about this I'd like to pass along...
Though, given the fact that you've allowed this reprehensible "exercise" to go on for days now, I doubt you'll care. But this is Twitter, so, hey, I don't really expect anyone to be listening.
For most of my adult life, @NPR has been my main news source. That's a time period that stretches 30+ years. And I've been proud of that fact.
