Co-host @TheWarOnCars podcast. Slowly migrating over to @Naparstek@mstdn.social and am finding that it's generally nicer over there.

Just finished @shahanmufti’s book “American Caliph.” It’s outstanding. Highly recommend. Great interview here with @davidplotz if you want to get a sense of it… https://t.co/zjAzrvQi3D https://t.co/5vwrssYl1D

@andrewsalzberg Jeff Mapes' Pedaling Revolution goes into some of that a bit, as I recall. Haven't had a chance to read it yet but @jodyrosen's new book, Two Wheels Good might also touch on this.

@philritz1 @greg_shill Read Andreas Malm’s “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” These kinds of direct action tactics are just, moral, urgently necessary, and have always been a part of successful social change movements, even the ones that we now consider to have been passive resistance and non-violent.

So many police lights on my block today. Pedestrian hit by car in the AM. Bicyclist hit by car in the PM. Also today: We taped a great interview with @jessiesingernyc for @TheWarOnCars to talk about her new book, “There Are No Accidents.” https://t.co/6Wq62fJIgO
