Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)
We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.
Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.
Week of Dec 11:
Progress: $1232.85/$340
*** OMG, y'all, thank you all soooo much for all your help! We can ge the car insurance & reg covered (~$300), pay several bills (water ~$130, elect ~$170), and even eat on this for a while, too. ***

After reporting by ProPublica revealed industry connections among Transportation Department regulators and showed how they are seeking to loosen oil and gas pipeline safety regulations, Sen. Maria Cantwell is demanding answers.

We found that 11 of Trump’s DOT appointees disclosed between $12 million and $52 million in stock holdings and other financial interests in airlines, railroads, oil and gas corporations, transportation technology firms and other related businesses.

Hot take: International, Chinatown and Seattle King Street should all be merged and called collectively Seattle International Union.

Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Once Defended Congress’ Power of the Purse. Now He Defies It.
---
As a congressman, Duffy made an impassioned legal case against executive overreach. A decade later, judges have used those same arguments to rebuke him for withholding billions in transportation funding.

ProPublica has identified dozens of instances in which the Trump administration’s DOT has moved to cut, weaken or delay safety regulations for cars, trucks, planes, trains and even oil pipelines.
Experts say the changes will cost lives.

Switzerland's public transport system, and in particular its rail network, has long been more than a means of getting from A to B – it is a defining feature of the country's identity. Born in the 19th century amid industrial expansion and alpine engineering ambition, Swiss railways became vital to connecting remote mountain regions with economic centres, ensuring mobility across linguistic and cultural divides.
Today, Switzerland boasts one of the most efficient, punctual, and integrated public transport systems in the world. Trains not only link cities and villages with precision, but they also embody the country’s values: environmental responsibility, public service, and technical excellence. The Swiss trains winding through dramatic alpine landscapes have become cultural icons – symbols of balance between innovation and tradition.
Whether for daily commuters, schoolchildren, or tourists, public transport in Switzerland reflects a collective investment in accessibility, cohesion, and sustainable living.

Glad you asked. The answer is Trump.”

@heidilifeldman Was it not a good idea for the #StableGenius #POTUS (and #Putin puppet) #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump to appoint #SeanDuffy (a former #Lumberjack ) as Secretary of the #UnitedStates Department of #Transportation ? 🤔
The #Kremlin LOVES the results of that decision by Agent #Krasnov. ✅

Tech companies have plenty of bad ideas they say will improve transportation — but the car remains a menace.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @BrooklynSpoke and @sgoodyear to discuss the many ways cars harm society and why that must change.
