I think most Americans underestimate just how much better their life would be if they could get around easily without their car. It improves your physical and mental health, your sense of community, your finances, the time you have in the day. Life changing tbh. I’ve lived in a lot of different places from rural to dense cities and I can say without a doubt I am significantly happier and healthier when I can walk/bike/ride public transit and don’t have to sit in traffic for a quarter of my day

Hope you haven’t stopped caring about kids in cages, because the other day in Chicago an Afghan refugee child broke and jumped through a 4th floor window to try and escape the horrific conditions in the detainment facility. Children there are attempting suicide and refusing food. The facility is called Heartland Alliance. They don’t even have a translator that can speak to these children in their own languages

Last night I pulled over for a wreck to help the people that were injured. My heart dropped when I realized police were coming before EMTs and I was right in feeling that The driver was understandably hysterical, his girlfriend was concussed, vomiting bile and blood, so he resisted the officer holding him down out of a panic for his partner, “don’t look at me, help her, she’s the one who needs help”
