If you don't want to vote for Biden fine, but if you think Comstock won't be deployed in Blue states following a Trump win you're lying to yourself so you can feel better about not having to make a conflicted ethical decision.

Did you know that more electric bikes are being sold in the US than electric cars? Even though there are federal tax breaks for e-cars but not e-bikes. Sooo many short trips could be done by bike if we had decent cycling infrastructure. https://www.businessinsider.com/electric-bikes-popularity-sus…

I haven't been very keyed in to the news for a few days so I missed the stories about Airman Roger Fortson who was killed by a cop in his own home in Florida. I just saw these pictures and they're breaking my heart. He clearly loved being in the Air Force and his family. He didn't deserve to die.
