Meu sonho é que na esteira da mobilização pelo fim da escala 6x1, também se retomem os debates fundamentais sobre mobilidade urbana e direito à cidade, esvaziados - especialmente por uma certa esquerda partidária - após 2013.

the English language should get distinct words for ciclovia and ciclofaixa, just calling everything a "bike lane" makes it ambiguous as to what kind of bicycle infrastructure people are referring to

ciclovia = bicycle lane fully separated from the road; ciclofaixa = bicycle with partial separation

Giving some people benefits they don’t need is cheaper than making people prove they need it.
What’s your thing that shouldn’t be controversial in today’s politics but somehow is?

I want people to vote.

Não precisa haver metáforas, conjecturas, figuras de linguagem.

Os caras que fazem/ordenam isso inserem na discussão (esperneio, mais exatamente...) política a destruição de tudo e a própria morte.

A própria morte, de si mesmo, literal, não é mais limite.

Amam a morte. A veneram.

Oxe? A pauta de desmilitarizar e desfazer a polícia já é e sempre foi uma pauta nossa, precisa importar nem substituir não

Ambas as pautas são urgentes

“just build” is the liberal technocrat solution to homelessness that’s already a failure, “just build” leads to a million market rate units for real estate speculation, “just build” is an abdication of class politics, ignores public housing, ignores reallocation of existing supply

The most vulgar turnstile hopper possesses in their soul a deeper understanding of communism than the most advanced social democratic turnstile payer because they understand that everything should be free

this might be an unpopular opinion but it has always struck me as a bit annoying that a ton of urbanists talk about Europe like it’s the ultimate ideal for human civilization and never really talk about all the great stuff on other continents

One of the reasons I hate the focus on "industrial policy" as a distinct "new" economic trend is that a huge part of NAFTA and the horrors of the neoliberal free trade regime was the US leveraging its enormous agricultural industrial policy regime to destroy smaller

I think one of the most corrosive elements of capitalism is the way it burns our dreams away and teaches us to settle for a slightly higher vantage point in the muck and decay of our dying world
