I did not know Jim Pagels personally, but many people in my wider circle did, and one death from traffic violence is one too many. If you’re in DC, please join me and my friends on this memorial ride this Thursday evening https://twitter.com/fvigeland/status/1381431737767563264

between jim's death and the death of Zy’aire Joshua, a four-year-old boy who was killed by a car in Brightwood recently, the sheer scale and senselessness of vehicular violence has been weighing on me heavily lately https://ggwash.org/view/80907/our-streets-arent-safe-for-children

the more i think about all this, the angrier i get - the people who have the power to change the status quo are more concerned with upsetting drivers than they are with preventing people's deaths. cars are death machines and the auto-centric status quo is a death cult, full stop

case in point - thanks for the useless non-answer, mayor bowser https://twitter.com/barredindc/status/1381644174211084302?s=20
