Kyiv is now into the fourth hour of an air alarm caused by a reconnaissance drone circling endlessly over the city.

I suspect that if this were nighttime - when residents would be inside because of curfew - the drone would have been shot down long ago.

But too many people on streets below now…

This is darkly funny. But part of the problem with Donald Trump is that this is how people have dealt with him for the past 75-plus years.

Long story short (and friends in Europe, please take note):

This approach DOES NOT WORK.

1️⃣ He didn't say that.
2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him.
3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling.
4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it.
5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented.
6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.

These ridiculously oversized single occupancy pickup trucks should be heavily taxed due to their danger to society, degradation of the road surfaces, and destruction of our livable planet. They are unnecessary and rarely tow, haul, or go off-road. #Trucks #PickupTruck

Where's the money from congestion pricing going anyway?

It's being used to buy new trains, make them run faster and more frequently, renovate old subway platforms and stations, install elevators across the system and more. youtube.com/shorts/uD_wL...

Driving is the most subsidized activity in American life, and it costs us more than most people can recognize. The least drivers can pony up to store their giant vehicles in public space.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

12. Open your eyes to whether your city is truly accessible for everyone–every curb cut or lack thereof–for the disabled, people of all ages, & for every parent with a stroller. Find ways to travel a mile in their shoes or chairs, and listen to them. Amplify their voices in calling for improvements.
