If the king of Belgium can speak the truth about Gaza, why can’t Europe’s cowardly politicians? | David Van Reybrouck EU leaders should have said what Philippe did months ago. He has highlighted their complicity, says philosopher David Van Reybrouck

wow

Kneecap is not the story.
Genocide in Gaza is.

Together with @transenv.bsky.social and some 30 civil society organisations, we are calling for EU action on bonnet height.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

Paris residents to vote on making 500 more streets pedestrian Parisians vote in a referendum on Sunday to decide whether an extra 500 of the city's streets should be pedestrianised and greened, in a new push by the French capital's left-leaning town hall to curb car usage and improve air quality.

If Parisians vote in favour of the proposal, the 500 streets to be vegetated will bring the total of these "green lungs" to nearly 700, just over one-tenth of the capital's streets reut.rs/4bV2CZN

Nothing beyond London? Why #CrossChannelRail is not going to Birmingham, Nottingham or Newcastle - #CrossBorderRail It was inevitable the question would come: why is my #CrossChannelRail project taking me nowhere in the UK other than London, and along the HS1 line between London and the Channel Tunnel? The simple a...

Sorry folks in 🇬🇧

My #CrossBorderRail project is only investigating services to Ashford, Ebbsfleet, Stratford and London

And not Birmingham, Nottingham or Newcastle

Here I explain why I had to make the cut somewhere 👇

Il black point di via Zara non è risolto: l'auto che sopraggiunge non è in alcun modo visibile al pedone, né il pedone all'autista, se non nel riflesso delle auto parcheggiate. Il raggio di curvatura, tra l'altro, non richiede di rallentare. Togliere i cassonetti, intanto?

A meno che non siate alti 2mt, è impossibile vedere ed essere visti dal personale @InfoAtac presente alla Metro B1 Annibaliano, neppure se serve aiuto, magari solo, come è successo a me, perché il tornello non si apre, ma anche in situazioni di pericolo @romamobilita

THE SHARED STREETS BILL JUST DROPPED!

SB 5595 legalizes a type of street (“woonerf” or “home zone”) common across Europe where cars, bikes, and pedestrians share the same space but speed limits are low and pedestrians are the priority. lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/202...

She is absolutely right. Trump's disgusting, immoral plan for Gaza is nonsense. We, the people of the US, along with the global community, need to do everything in our power to stop this.
