Freedom of mobility isn't just a catchy phrase—it's the foundation of a vision for Texas where citizens aren't bound to a single transportation option. State Representative John Bucy shares his ambitious plans for expanding transportation choices across the Lone Star State, from high-speed rail connecting major cities to defending Austin's Project Connect light rail system.As one of the legislature's most vocal transit advocates, Bucy has sponsored critical legislation like HB 483 (authorizing public-private partnerships for high-speed rail along I-35), HJR-58 (a constitutional amendment allowing highway funds for other transportation modes), and HB 542 (permitting state highway funds for transit-oriented projects). His advocacy comes from personal experience—splitting time between Austin and Dallas as a child, he imagined faster, more efficient ways to make that journey.The conversation reveals how transit debates in Texas often transcend the merits of the transportation systems themselves. "It's been less about the train and more about anti-Austin," Bucy explains, highlighting how urban-rural tensions and partisan politics frequently overshadow practical discussions about mobility. Despite these challenges, he's found surprising allies, with four Republicans joining Democrats to advance high-speed rail legislation out of committee—the first pro-transportation bill to gain traction in the Texas legislature in two decades.Particularly fascinating is Bucy's reframing of transit as a freedom issue, cleverly positioning public transportation in terms that might resonate with conservative Texans who typically value individual choice. "I drive a Jeep," he notes. "This isn't to get rid of trucks and Jeeps...it's to increase freedom of mobility for all Texans."The most compelling argument might be historical: "In the 80s, Texas was known as the leader in infrastructure," Bucy reflects. "Our roads were the best system across the country, and we have fallen off." For a state that prides itself on exceptionalism, the idea of reclaiming leadership in transportation innovation could be the key to building broader support for transit.Want to help make this vision a reality? Contact your representatives, especially if they're Republicans, and explain how transit benefits everyone—even those who never plan to use it—by providing more choices and reducing highway congestion.Send us a textSupport the show

Free Relationship Astrology Workshop: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/relationshipsFree Deepen Your Practice Workshop: https://www.quietmind.yoga/deepenKey ideas- Jupiter moving into Cancer is one of the most auspicious, positive transits we can ever have.- The Full Moon in Revati closes the eclipse window — a sense of culmination and completion.- Sun in Libra and Venus in Virgo bring relationship tests; lead through collaboration, not control.- If something's stuck, Mars into Scorpio will move the energy at the end of OctoberNotesOctober 2025 has the last big transit of the year. We have Jupiter moving into Cancer this month — one of the most auspicious, positive transits we can ever have — and it only happens once every 12 years. It's starting in October, it's brief at first, and it sets the stage for 2026 into 2027. This energy is very positive for relationships and growth on a lot of levels, and we'll talk about how to work with it in a real, practical way.We open October with Mercury moving into Libra on Thursday, October 2. In late September, Mercury was exalted in Virgo — great for getting things said and resolved. Now Mercury in Libra with Mars brings direct, creative communication, action, and emotional intimacy. If there's a conversation that moves a relationship forward or a creative project that needs a decision, this is the window to speak and act.On Monday, October 6, the Full Moon in Revati closes the eclipse window. Think back to March — what was opening then? All full moons are a good day to celebrate and integrate, and Revati brings wisdom, intuition and completion. The Moon conjoins Saturn that day, so it's an excellent time to practice, be disciplined, and do the things that actually move energy — which is why I'm holding the yoga workshop then.Thursday, October 9, Venus enters Virgo (debilitation). You'll see the internet focus on the negatives — nitpicking, overanalyzing love — but every placement has positive, negative, and neutral expressions. “Bring the Virgo healer's precision to find root causes,” then speak from the heart. This can be a sober, clarifying month for finances, division of responsibilities, and long-term plans.Friday, October 10, the Moon is exalted in Taurus — a sweet day for dates, romance, beauty, and nourishing the senses. Tuesday, October 14, Pluto goes direct in Capricorn (Uttara Ashada). We've been revisiting foundations; now we build forward — values, structure, and what you're willing to stand for. On Friday, October 17, the Sun moves into Libra (debilitation): leadership through collaboration, compromise over control. If your ego wants to be right, notice it and choose balance.Saturday, October 18, Jupiter enters Cancer (exaltation). It's a short initial pass, but it brings the home, relationships, care, and spiritual mentorship with growth. Watch for over-comforting or naiveté with teachers, but overall this is balm after the harder edges of the month. Monday, October 20 is our free Relationship Astrology workshop — synastry, what to look for in a partner, and how to see strengths and growth edges in charts.Tuesday, October 21, New Moon in Chitra (Virgo): new systems, new routines, new healing. It's a great day to reset health, organize money with spreadsheets or an accountant, and set clear intentions for love and daily rhythms. Then Friday, October 24, Mercury moves into Scorpio for deeper conversations, research, therapy, and personal growth. End of month, Mars moves into Scorpio: bias toward action. If something's stuck, move your body, sweat, and give that Mars-in-Scorpio activation energy a target.Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYoutube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@quietmindastrology1:1 Reading: https://www.quietmindastrology.com/reading

In this episode of the Neighborhood Ventures Podcast, Bart Diehl sits down with the Investor Relations team — Kyle Macdonald and Nick Jackson — to cover three big stories shaping the Valley. We kick off with ASU's run as the nation's most innovative university and what that means for talent retention and housing demand in Tempe. Next, we dive into the $850M redevelopment of Metrocenter Mall and its potential to transform the I-17 corridor. Finally, we look at Phoenix's light rail expansion and why transit-oriented development is key to affordable housing and future multifamily growth. Whether you're a Phoenix native or an out-of-state investor, this conversation highlights why the Valley remains one of the most exciting real estate markets in the country.

In a crowded field of seven hopefuls, Zekharia Selahadin is hoping his simple grassroots approach will generate support on October 25th from voters in Elmwood- East Kildonan. Part 1- He moved to Canada from Ethiopia as a child and grew up in Elmwood, and has worked in childcare and with the Green Team. In Episode 49, Selahadin discusses the top issues he's hearing about at the doorstep- including crime and road and sidewalk conditions. He's joined the call for a replacement of the Louise Bridge. The new and far-from-improved Transit system also comes up, as "I've seen many individuals waiting for a bus and it's full and people are squished inside it. I've seen the frustration first-hand." It's affected his own family members getting to and from work at night and he worries about their safety, especially with the longer walks now required. Marty Gold asks him if the management of Winnipeg Transit needs to be hauled on the carpet.25.45 Part 2- Selahadin agrees "it's important to have a car" in Winnipeg but wants residential speed limits reduced to 30k and more bike lanes. 37.25- Crime and disorder from homeless encampments are impacting the ward. Selahadin says that while "police are trying their best" supports for those who want to get housed need to be maintained. He's not sure if a centralized encampment area, like at the Legislature, would work because "a fight club" could result between rival factions placed in close proximity to each other. The interview wraps up with his ideas to resolve food insecurity in the ward -For more information about his campaign, go to his website https://www.zekariaselahadin.ca******ONLY TGCTS is producing long-form interviews with the candidates for the EK city council seat!

OIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS SEPTEMBER 26 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingSome astro transits are fleeting but all are part of a cycle—astrology is, after all, the study of cycles! The one that's most prevalent right now is clearly represented by the repercussions of the recent Mars in Scorpio third quarter waning “crisis in consciousness” square to Pluto in Aquarius which perfected on September 24. The repercussions triggered by this Mars/Pluto square are clearly upon us now, especially here in the U.S. Don't forget that when you put Mars & Pluto together—whether its through aspects between the two or aspects between planets in their ruled signs of Aries & Scorpio—you can pretty much be assured the energies are going to be about one or more of the following subjects: money, power, control, secrets, sex, anger, &/or violence.That's why astrologer Rob Hand defines this square in his book “Planets In Transit” as a time that heralds “a serious conflict between individual energies & the energies of a group.” This becomes more obviously prevalent now because Pluto is in Uranus-ruled Aquarius, the sign of groups. “Transit cycles involving Pluto have a strange way of producing total destruction of your own ends if you take illegitimate shortcuts,” Hand continues. However, “the consequences of your deceptive actions will not be apparent until the next time transiting Mars either conjoins or opposes Pluto.” Hand is, of course, speaking of the transit of Mars to one's natal Pluto. However, I have found his description of aspects between transiting planets often to be as accurate in energetic terms as a transit to a natal chart planet. At the least, he captures the essence of the potential manifestation of archetypal aspect combinations be they solely in the sky or affecting the natal.And don't forget astrologer Michael Lutin's teaching that whenever an aspect in the sky echoes one in your individual chart, you will experience a “recurrence” of that energy.I can pretty much guarantee that there are plenty of Mars/Pluto frictional aspects in the natal charts of sexual abuse victims, such as those trafficked by sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, though there are likely other astrological indications specific to each as well. Anybody recognize how a recurrence of Mars/Pluto energy entered the collective since a number of his victims spoke out about his abuse on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. recently? And how this week's election of a new Congresswoman in Arizona put the Epstein issue front & center back in the news?According to The Hill publication on Sept 25: “Lawmakers in both parties fighting to force the Trump administration to release all the federal files on Jeffrey Epstein took a big step closer to their goal this week. Adelita Grijalva's victory on Tuesday in a special House election in southern Arizona sends another Democrat to Capitol Hill — and secures the deciding 218th signature on a discharge petition designed to compel the Justice Department to disclose the still-concealed documents related to the late child sex offender.”THERE WERE INCIDENTS & ACCIDENTS, HINTS & ALLEGATIONSRegardless, since this Mars/Pluto square—which represents the waning third quarter “crisis in consciousness” portion of the Mars/Pluto synodic cycle which began with their conjunction at 0'46” AQ on Feb 14, 2024—we've seen numerous related incidents that reflect its energies pretty accurately.“Incidents” that cannot be ignored here in America if we are to preserve our democratic system of three independent branches of government which are currently now being dissolved & destroyed under the U.S. Pluto return's ongoing energies, along with that of the current Saturn/Neptune conjunction & its cycle in Aries.Incidents such as U.S. president's statement “I hate my enemies” at Charlie Kirk's funeral, which clearly invites others to do the same. Incidents like governmentally-driven suppression of free speech & the decision by the CDC to recommend Covid vaccines ONLY to anyone over 65 or with a verifiable health issue. And then there's the agency's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) panel vote to restrict children's access to a measles-mumps-rubella vaccine known as MMRV. The panel also postponed a vote on whether all newborns should get the hepatitis B shot. Incidents such as the DoJ's indictment of former FBI director James Comey on charges even the DoJ says won't stick. Incidents such as the FBI dropping its bribery case against the now immigration czar Tom Homan who last year secretly accepted a bag filled with $50K in cash in return for “favors” when he entered government in 2025.Incidents such as learning the Secret Service dismantled a covert telecommunications network spread across five locations in the New York area that contained a system also used to transmit assassination threats against senior U.S. officials during the gathering of the world's dignitaries at the United Nations in New York City this past week.And, neither last nor least, incidents such as the looming U.S. government shutdown on October 1 based on the inability of Congress to do the “Libra thang” & negotiate & compromise to avoid such a catastrophe. Mars square Pluto doesn't compromise, after all…it's about power and those who get hurt in the process be damned…THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALLWe arrived at the first Mars/Pluto waxing first quarter “crisis in action” square on June 11, 2024, & it was July 1, 2024, when the Supreme Court granted U.S. presidents “immunity from criminal liability for…official acts,” according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU.) Thus began the time of “a serious conflict between individual energies & the energies of a group,” as Rob Hand puts it. On November 3, 2024, the day before the U.S. presidential election, Mars made its first exact opposition to Pluto. Because of Mars' retrograde period, these two opposed again late on January 2/early Jan 3, 2025, & then one more time on April 26 of this year.Rob Hand describes a Mars/Pluto opposition thusly: “If you are tempted to gain control over others, be very careful. Eventually you might find yourself opposed by everyone whom you have ever tried to rule.” Certainly sounds like something that ultimately manifested as the massive “No Kings” protest rallies around the nation, no?Meanwhile, the next time Mars & Pluto conjoin to begin a new synodic cycle will be at 3'34” Aquarius on January 27, 2026. So it's between now & then that we'll be experiencing the waning quarter of this current cycle between the two which, again, denotes a time of conflict between those in power & the energies of a group.The U.S. Pluto return brings us back to the origins (read: birth) of America, which clearly did not happen without a fight. Taxation of the colonists by the British monarchy clearly helped ignite the American Revolution, which began in 1775 & lasted until peace was formally declared in 1783.It then took the colonists' "founding fathers" until 1789 to construct a constitution, create three co-equal branches of government, inaugurate the first U.S. president & seat the first Supreme Court justices. As we look at what's happening now, especially the repercussions of the waning square of Mars in Scorpio to Pluto in Aquarius those who are paying attention can clearly see the handwriting on the wall…The question becomes: Do we want to be puppets on a string, or stand up & fight back? Even if it took something as seemingly superficial as the censoring of a late-night talk show comedian to wake the masses up, it nevertheless sparked a revolution against suppression of our democratic rights. The waning portion of this Mars/Pluto cycle advises: Don't let that spark die as the winds of suppression try to snuff it out…   Tune in to all of this & more Astro News You Can Use starting today @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingincluding the upcoming September 29 first-quarter lunar monthly square & Mercury in Libra's cardinal square to Jupiter in Cancer October 1, as we wax toward the exact Eris/Chiron conjunction in Aries October 9! See you then! Namaste…

A focus on civics - and a look at his new book - brings Don Woodstock back to TGCTS for Episode 48. There's lots of ideas, opinions and observations on tap!Part 1- Don was among the few Winnipeg residents who actually went to one of the city's "Information Sessions" about the five proposed sites for new supportive housing projects. With good reason, the Property and Development Committee adjourned the Public Hearing to get more details. As Woodstock explains, the fact his questions would not be answered by provincial representatives who would actually be making decisions about the site populations and service providers, was just one of many good reasons to hit the brakes rather than ram approval through. He insists that renovating and revamping existing buildings makes way more economic and administrative sense than handing over city-owned "surplus" properties whose value has never been measured on the open market.21.35 Part 2- Woodstock and his wife each have experience as Transit drivers. Hear why he thinks that the new plan for Community Safety Officers to handle fare enforcement is a smoke-and-mirrors charade to prop up the CSO program instead of hiring actual police. "They have no authority whatsoever."Between the ongoing safety issues and the disastrous new schedules and routing system, Woodstock says it's proof that City Hall doesn't listen to the public and has created dangerous conditions for folks who rely on riding a bus to get to and from work, school and social events. "The real conversation is how Uber has increased their ridership" as a result of people being stranded. 44.30 Part 3- Don Woodstock's new book "Unrelenting" is discussed. It's available at donwoodstockunrelenting.comHe tells his story about growing up in Jamaica, the influence of his grandfather, his commitment to environmental issues, and how he created the momentum for legislative changes to restrict the use of plastic shopping bags. He makes a pitch for ramping up manufacturing of electric buses while noting "the politics is so depressing" undercutting economic development and employment opportunities. "A welfare cheque is not an income, it's a tax on all of us. People need the capacity to earn a real income." *****Coming up on TGCTS- another interview with a candidate in the Elmwood- East Kildonan byelection.
