@30roland30 @aakashgupta @LostLittleStars @RFKJr_Official That would be the worst fumble-ruski on the goal line in public health history.

@aakashgupta @LostLittleStars Give @RFKJr_Official a hot second. He’ll get around to getting those numbers back up soon enough.

In 1986, a 3-foot parasite was emerging through the skin of 3.5 million people a year. In 2025, the number was 10. Guinea worm disease is about to become the second human disease ever eradicated, after smallpox. And it's being done without a vaccine and without a single drug. The worm takes a year to mature inside your body. Then it tunnels to your foot or leg, forms a burning blister, and begins emerging over several weeks. The pain drives people into water for relief, which releases thousands of larvae and restarts the cycle in whoever drinks from that source next. The Carter Center broke that loop with pieces of cloth. They taught villages to filter their drinking water through fine mesh. They paid cash rewards for reporting cases. In 2025, national programs investigated over one million rumors of the disease, nearly all within 24 hours. Jimmy Carter took this on after he left the White House and said he wanted to outlive the last Guinea worm. He didn't quite make it. But the 10 cases in 2025 showed up in just three countries: four in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. 200 other countries are already certified clean. A parasite that infected 3.5 million people a year is being wiped off the planet by pieces of cloth and a million phone calls.

Safe, protected bike-lanes are: Better for business Better for emissions Better for air quality Better for public health Better for noise Better for space Better for equity Better for affordability Better for public cost Better for safety for EVERYONE Better for oil independence Better.

Our transportation system is a grotesque, unjust public health catastrophe. Road deaths have been the leading cause of child and young adult traumatic injury and death—by far—for decades. The cardinal rule of traffic enforcement is to shift blame to the hit, hurt and killed.

@IanCycles My @FastCompany story yesterday about @NHTSAgov's major move against car bloat ⤵️ x.com/DavidZipper/st…

"Moving forward it will allow households to move to one car and adopt a so-called ‘car light’ lifestyle and just use the car for certain and infrequent trips." momentummag.com/study-shows-ho…

“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, #Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — @modacitylife in #CurbingTraffic

@lbubala3 Yet the list includes New Mexico and North Carolina.

The US has the highest rate of pedestrian and cyclist fatalities—by far—among wealthy nations despite having far lower rates of walk/bike. The difference is almost entirely because of mandated auto dependence, road design and failure to regulate dangerous automobiles and drivers.

Harris’ ascendancy has key Democratic figures convinced that Nevada is now not only in play in the presidential race, but eminently winnable. But the new dynamic hasn’t dashed Republicans’ hopes. @birenbomb reports: thenevadaindependent.com/article/is-nev…

@yashar True story of "Blame the Biker"

RFK Jr, in an attempt to get ahead of a forthcoming New Yorker story, says in a new video that he dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park and made it seem like a bicyclist did it. The video is filmed with Roseanne Barr.

Among the many very funny things people with carbrain will do is say “Oh a bicycle well, how does it do in a meter of snow and an ice storm” As if we’ve never seen how American drivers handle a meter of snow and an ice storm “Oh a bicycle well, you can’t ride THAT in a volcano”

@SenCortezMasto @SenCortezMasto Thank you for your continued support of the Tahoe East Shore Trail, started so long ago by the late Sen Harry Reid and the Lake Tahoe community. Now we need a crown jewel bike bridge going around Cave Rock to complete the project. What do you think?

Lake Tahoe is a natural treasure. Growing up in Nevada, I learned that first-hand.   Now, I'm fighting for resources that won't just protect the lake, but invest in it to ensure local residents and visitors can continue to enjoy it for years to come.   kunr.org/local-stories/…
