NEW: “Toderian says it’s easy to be distracted by futuristic innovations like electric cars, drone delivery networks & hyperloops. ‘The real solutions are a lot less sexy and a lot more common sense… Tech won’t save us if we get the fundamentals wrong.”

A world without traffic? Three urban experts rethink how cities move
Gridlock is costing us billions, but bold solutions like bus-only lanes, congestion charges and flexible work hours could get cities moving again

How many have stories like George Retes? I can't give up fighting because so many have been grabbed and need someone to be their voice.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

New in PN: The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland

"Trump’s confusion isn’t just darkly comical (and a troubling reminder of the president’s growing senility) — it’s a stark illustration of the whiplash-inducing disconnect between his rhetoric and the reality on the ground."
The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland
It'd be hilarious if he wasn't the commander in chief.

Nearly a decade of organizing in Vancouver's animation and VFX industries is transforming wages and working conditions for the workers behind shows like Star Trek: Lower Decks, even amid a historic slowdown in film and TV.

I spoke to workers + organizers about it for @pressprogress.ca

Vancouver’s film and TV industry is facing one of its ‘toughest slowdowns’ ever. Animators and visual effects workers are unionizing to take back control:

“It’s time to level the playing field for the workers ... so they can have more of a say, more control and a democratization of their workplace”
