Railroad unions and management reached a tentative deal, averting a strike that had threatened to cripple US supply chains and push prices higher for many goods. CNN's Christine Romans and Rahel Solomon explain why the demands from unions reflect the state of the economy.

Full letter sent by @MayorHancock to Douglas County officials after they discussed taking Daniels Park from Denver. "It would be a disservice to the communities we represent to create the false impression that the status
of Daniels Park is a matter up for discussion. It is not."

So this teacher in Portland just started organizing these rides to school, and holy hell this looks like a success.
Would love to see some enterprising teacher in Denver try this - what a great thing for kids and a powerful message to city leaders.
Reflecting on how successful the #BikeBus has been in a short amount of time, I remind myself that no one asked me to do this. Not a single parent, student or teacher. I knew it would be positive for the school community & my g-d have they shown up.

NEW: As Denver redraws districts, there's conflict.
Four members of council have collectively authored an op-ed in response to a meme posted by @CandiCdeBacaD9.
They call her reference to "malinchestrong" "deeply offensive, frustrating, and damaging."

Averaging -13°C and 128cm of snow each winter, the Canadian city of Calgary induced 1.2 million bicycle trips, simply by reclaiming 2% of the downtown street space for protected cycle tracks.
There’s no such thing as bad weather. Only bad infrastructure.

Does @RepJasonCrow think @RepBoebert should be expelled from Congress?
"Her actions are disgraceful...It is possible that I want her to leave Congress. I don't think that there's a place for people of her immorality and depravity to be in the United States Congress." #copolitics
