I gotta say that most moral army in the world argument is thin. To support Israels military is now sociopathic.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

Fun fact: the Vuelta is spending the rest day in Pontevedra, the longtime mayor of which is urbanist-famous for having said..

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It's the same as if you bought a cow, or fridge, and then ask me where you're going to put them."

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Interesting study around LTNs cutting deaths and injuries, with no impact to outside roads. An effective safety measure.
London’s low-traffic zones ‘cut deaths and injuries by more than a third’
Exclusive: Study also finds no change in number of casualties on roads just outside low-traffic neighbourhoods

One of the weirdest things living in Quebec is an opinion columnist can write about massive cuts to our public schools without mentioning the 66% public funding of our private schools. lp.ca/hSaOvp?shari...

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.”

This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

100 men vs. 1 gorilla?

How about the working class against the oligarchy?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.

This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

We build aggressive vehicles
We market them recklessly
We celebrate dangerous driving
We design violent streets
We prioritize the driver at all costs
We shame and blame everyone else

Road violence is no accident it’s a direct result of our choices.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Strange how "would be great if kids could bike to school" somehow gets translated into:

"every trip by every person in every circumstance must be made by a bike because the car is of zero purpose for every single human on the planet.

Always good to know that these two people are decisional when it comes to pedestrianizing Old Montreal. The VP's time at Transport Canada must have been helpful.

Cars ruin cities in more ways than just running people over.

Paris has reduced air pollution by 50-55% over the past 20 years through policies limiting traffic and banning polluting vehicles.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
