Public service announcement for my Missouri and Metro East friends. The Arnold Police Dept bought themselves a tricked out 2025 Ford Mustang in white with black cowl induction scoop on the hood. It's being used between Imperial Main St and Meramec Bottoms Rd on I-55 for interdictions.
It has no markings you can visibly see until you get really close to it making it impossible to spot as a cop car until it's too late.

I've been toying with the idea of some sort of Solarpunk/Library Socialism Movement in St. Louis for a while. I do not feel like any current organization deals with the specific issues I'm concerned with in a comprehensive, local way.
As a result, I have a vision I've been toying with that I feel ready to share: https://nextcloud.nullarch.com/s/qkkisXnC5iw2EAX

The mangled remains of the frame from a highway sign up in a tree in our neighborhood. This is from at least 2 miles away from the highway and about 250 yards from our house.
