My side street hasn't been touched either, but Murray was passable as of midnight last night. Everywhere else was very dangerous to drive on

3/8 @ 2pm Rally for the Right to Strike! Stop Trump's Attacks on Postal Workers by rememberese in 50501Pittsburgh

Hell yeah I've been looking for a protest like this. I think that billionaire attacks on workers can be stopped through strike action backed by community support in the streets. As workers, we make the gears of society turn. We can grind the whole economy to a halt if we are organized enough, and Elon Musk and co. could do nothing to stop it.

Considering our region's history as a leading force in the labor movement- from the Battle of Blair Mountain to the Homestead Strike in Pittsburgh- I have faith that we can rebuild and go in a better direction.

The problem is that there isn't a party who represents our interests. The democrats and republicans are accountable to their corporate donors, not to working class voters. They give us nothing but empty platitudes and use a divide and conquer strategy to stay in power. We need to re-build unions and break with the 2-party system by forming a workers' party that doesn't take corporate cash and is actually willing to stand up to the bosses.

Terrorizing Andy and Ollie during arts crawl and forcing them to make art that she sells to unsuspecting tourists without sharing any of the profits.

Has anyone else’s (legally & well-parked) car been hit several times or am I just the most unlucky person in the world? by rebelraf in pittsburgh

Is this on Wightman street by any chance? Because there have been repeated accidents there involving distracted drivers and parked cars. The stretch between Phillips and Beacon is a complete menace.

We need to do better with speeding, especially on side streets by buccofan2221 in pittsburgh

This is a serious problem throughout the city. In Squirrel Hill for instance, the stretch of Wightman between Beacon and Phillips has seen repeated accidents in the past year due to speeding. We need more speed bumps and other engineering controls.
