Five weeks after drivers complained about long waits after a concert in downtown St. Louis, 4 bump-outs, traffic safety features at intersections, were removed. Five weeks. With no public meetings, no engagement. The city repeatedly tells us it takes months, even years to get community feedback on road changes. But this time, it took 5 weeks with no public meetings. It's been made clear that traffic flow for commuters is more important than safety for residents.

Literally the day after Marco Rubio scolded Iran for spending money to fight wars instead of on things Iranians need, Donald Trump told everyone we can’t spend money on things we need because we are fighting wars

Adjusting for GDP, USA’s war budget is ~3X Iran’s and Iran’s literacy rate is 10% higher. In 1 month, USA has spent 7X Iran’s annual defense budget.😐

Well, this is unfortunate.

1500 days of russia’s full scale war on #Ukraine - Europe’s largest since WWII -aim to erase Ukraine.

Yet, Ukrainian bravery and global solidarity resist. russia fails, depleting resources.

To end this, the world must increase pressure on the aggressor.
