A study of police data showed that Black cyclists are stopped up to three times as often as whites.

A study done in December 2022 by Jonathan Manicham and Kevin Morris found that in Hillsboro County Florida, if you get stopped by the police for even a traffic violation within a certain window before an election, it reduces voter turnout by two percent in the targeted demographic.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis grabbed headlines throughout 2022 for practices that weakened democracy—from creating a police force to monitor voting to coordinating the arrests of people who allegedly voted illegally after the state told them they were eligible. In August, he suspended Tampa’s elected prosecutor, Democrat Andrew Warren, over his stated refusal to prosecute cases relating to abortion and trans rights, overriding voters’ decision.

But a host of more routine decisions made by Florida officials may be undermining the health of the state’s elections as well, even when they don’t seem directly related to voting rights.

To replace Warren as state attorney of Hillsborough County (home to Tampa), DeSantis appointed Susan Lopez, a member of the conservative Federalist Society. One of Lopez’s first decisions was to rescind a policy implemented by Warren to not prosecute bicyclists and pedestrians for certain traffic charges. A 2015 Tampa Bay Times report exposed the Tampa police department’s relentless ticketing of Black cyclists for things like having inadequate lighting, or riding on handlebars, a dynamic local organizers have labeled “bicycling while Black.” The report catalyzed a Justice Department investigation which ultimately confirmed the disproportionate enforcement.

New research shows how such low-level interactions with the police can undercut our democracy by reducing the number of people who participate in elections. A study I co-authored with fellow researcher Kevin Morris, published in December in the American Political Science Review, finds that traffic stops by police stops in Hillsborough County reduced voter turnout in 2014, 2016, and 2018 federal elections.

I love them and they love each other ❤

Is there anything closer to freedom than bombing down a hill on your bike beside traffic, taking your fingers off the hand break and closing your eyes!?

What happened was, I bought a bicycle.

It was a Saturday, when Harry and I needed to get away from the Burrow. We needed to get away from everything. Because everything held grief and pain and sadness for us. It held memories of loved ones lost.

The grief and the sadness was like a cancer that had slowly metastasized. The home was dark. There was little light left in the little nooks and crannies.

Harry and I, we were like the little blood cells who were putting up that last stand. We needed to take a break, get a great big dose of vitamin C and D. So, we walked through the streets that wound through the Muggle homes and found ourselves stumbling onto a yard sale.

The bicycle was bright yellow, with an iron rack on the back meant to hold some sort of pouch and Harry, he looked at it and he said to me, “You know, I never was able to have a bicycle. I was always jealous of Dudley because he had one that I wasn’t allowed to touch.” He admitted that he didn’t even know how to ride one. He just wanted to ride one, once in his life.

“Let’s get it.” I said and stuffed my hand into the pocket of my denims and pulled out my last ten dollars.

The woman who was selling the bike accepted my offer and together, Harry and I walked away with the bright yellow bicycle.

It was the first genuine smile the two of us had shared since the war.

Harry was a quick learner. He said it was like riding a broom, and so after I used my sweater and transfigured it into a pillow, I jumped onto the rack and together, we rode it back to the Burrow.

Together, we pushed the bike up the steep hill that would eventually take us back to the Weasley’s. And together, we jumped onto the bike and dove down the hill, laughing and screaming.

Our bodies were forced into feeling something other than pain and grief.

When we arrived at the Burrow, Ginny and George took turns learning how to ride it.

Within two weeks, Ginny, George, Harry and I all had our own bicycles.

Ron hated it. He refused to touch the bicycle. He saw our laughter, our joy, as a betrayal to Fred, to Lavender. To Tonks and Remus and to everyone else who died.

But I knew.

I knew that we were honoring them.

Because, we could die tomorrow. I could die right now. I could trip, fall and hit my head. I could get hit by a car, or drown.

The point is, why should I waste the little time I have left on this planet when I could be experiencing it in every possible way?

The point is, Ron got left behind.

Ginny, Harry, George and I got lost in a world of two wheels and steep hills.

Soon, we were dodging traffic and racing each other to Luna’s house.

Soon, Luna was joining us.

Soon, I forgot what it was like to hate myself.

I wasn’t even going to go back to Hogwarts. The school held terrible memories. Fred died there.

Riding the bike with everyone, squealing and laughing, it was like Fred was with us. Why would I go back to Hogwarts, where there were no bicycles? No steep hills?

In the end, Ginny, George and Harry all convinced me to go back. Ginny didn’t want to go back alone.

And Harry reminded me that I would, ultimately, regret not completing my education.

Ginny and I returned without two wheels and without steep hills and the rush of racing beside speeding cars.

But, Ginny had Quidditch.

And I?

Well, I had Draco Malfoy.

All the fics I've read this Dronarry fest have been excellent, but special shout out to Bike Dreams. This story made me cry so hard I think I pulled something, but I also laughed and got horny...so basically a perfect fic.

Well everyone, it's been a bumper final week for Dronarry fest! Here's your chance to catch up on everything you've missed before we post the masterlist. Thank you all to everyone who has been reading along - keep your comments and kudos coming!

[FIC] Snowdrift || E || 8k || by @wolfpants

London is drowning in snow, and Draco and Ron get more than they bargain for when they comfort Harry after - another - bad break up.

💭 Joining in the love for your established Dron here - oh my god. I loved seeing Draco through Ron's eyes, the way they were so in tune throughout all of this. You write atmosphere so well - I felt like I could see this unfolding. - dahlliances

💭 Absolutely brilliant, fantastic dynamic between the three of them, with poor old unlucky-in-love Harry (it wasn't serious 😭) and long-suffering Dron, loved the snippets about them getting together and the late night vibes, and the sex was just gorgeous, really soft and tender but scorching hot (also, let him show you what a real Weasley can do??? HELLO) <3 <3 - sweet_sorrow

[FIC] Stuck In The Middle With You || E || 18k || by @peachydreamxx

“You want a job here?” Ron finally asks, “Taking orders from us?” Malfoy nods shortly. “You want to be beneath Harry and me?” Amusement flashes across Malfoy’s face. “You could say that.” ~ The one where Draco Malfoy walks into Weasley's Wizard Wheezes in need of a job, and Ron, and his co-partner Harry, decide they can show Draco the perks of working there.

💭 HELP MEEEE I FEAR I WONT RECOVER. Gorgeously hot, the POV switches were so fluid and well-done, I loved getting to be in each of their heads. Absolutely incredible! - citrusses

💭 wow wow wow what a stunning take on their relationship. i love the harshness of it at first, and the way they had to work through all of their feelings via sex therapy to get to the love they were all too afraid to give. the sex scenes were SO well thought out, and really didn't hold back on the Dom/sub. i loved seeing draco in a truly subby role, and following ron's journey, and then harry's compassion… really well thought out on all accounts. thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[PODFIC] Silhouettes by sweet_sorrow || E || read by @cailynwrites

Draco's trying to fix the Burrow, Ron's trying to grieve, and Harry... well, just what is Harry actually doing, anyway? A tale of grief, gardening, and ghouls, bad memories, bad puns, and bad flirting, and nudity both accidental and very, very deliberate.

💭 This is one of my FAVORITE Dronarry fics from last year, I'm so glad you decided to record it! Your voice is magnificent and the quality is amazing. I love how you did the voices, too! Thanks so much for sharing it, I have all the feels now 🥰 - Schmem_14

💭 This is top tier Dronarry for me. Thank you so much for recording it and reading a beautiful story so beautifully. - wolfpants

[FIC] Borrowed Time || E || 8k || by @the-starryknight

Harry woke in someone else's bed, sleeping beside someone else's lover. Leaning in is the worst possible solution, right?

💭 oh starry, this is simply gorgeous. I love harry's sensitivity, and his tender feelings towards them, like a bruise, not wanting to hurt them and instead hurting himself in the process. romantic and stunning and hot (and funny, too, esp. the roleplay near the beginning). I don't think you've forgotten anything <3 - thehoneybeet

💭 Gosh, this was such a wonderful and sexy read. I love the way you characterised all three of them, the way they’re so gentle with each other, the way they’re all so clearly smitten. “ I don’t think,” Harry started, “I could survive that.” - this is such a great line!!! I could not put this down once I started this. It was SO good. Thank you for writing this for us ❤️ - sleepstxtic

[FIC] All This On Display Like That || M || 4k || by @elskanellis

Draco is good at: hosting; drinking; drinking games; duelling; controlling himself when Harry Potter is around; earning a chance to ask undeniably fit Ron Weasley on a date.

💭 This is sexy, funny, beautifully paced DELIGHT. Thank you for that. Can’t possibly say how much I enjoyed it in sort of an evil, chin in my hands sort of way. 😈 - shealynn88

💭 Good golly gosh! You can’t see but I’m gleefully kicking my feet with how delightful this was to read. I remembered your snippet of Draco’s declaiming and I’m so delighted to finally read it in situ! This was so fun, so sweet, so descriptive, so sharply narrated - an absolute delight AND a triumph. Thank you! - rainstormradish

[FIC] Bike Dream || E || 27k || by @dodgerkedavra

Draco’s going to learn to ride a bike if it’s the last thing he does.

💭 god i love your writing. your worlds are so FULL. so much love and struggle and support and HAPPINESS!! i laughed at so many different points in this fic but i also absolutely cried, and those are my favorite kind of fics. thank you so much for sharing this!!! - pocket-lin

💭 Your characterizations are incredible- as always, such a treat to read your writing. Thank you for sharing!

[ID: A digital illustration of Ron Delite and Desiree Delite. They are riding on Desiree's red scooter, Desiree is driving and Ron is sat behind her, holding onto her and looking nervous. Desiree is wearing a white biking outfit with her usual red goggles and large wheel earrings. Ron is wearing a black suit with a tail coat and some white flowers in his hair. There is a 'Just Married' sign affixed to the back of the scooter and the number plate reads "D3L1 TES" which looks like 'Delites'. They are driving along a road past a park as the sun sets, casting the trees and bushes in shades of purple. End description.]
