Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.
Abolish the billionaire class:
Today we won.
A U.S. District Court ruled that the administration violated federal law when it secretly convened a group of climate contrarians to produce a thoroughly debunked report to overturn the Endangerment Finding.
The science still matters. We won't stop.

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

so will UC Davis and city of Davis now be two separate entries for March Madness? They are after all one (dys)functional network of bike lanes. Asking for a friend...

As an American urbanist, here the top 5 things I hope we can learn from Germany:
#5 Bollards at corners to protect pedestrians
#4 Raised crosswalks with cobble on either side
#3 S-Bahn & U-Bahn system thinking
#2 Public seating in plazas (even in the rain!)
#1 Denazification

Wow. This is devastating.

E-bikes are an amazing transportation tool. Especially in urban places. We should make them more accessible along with building safe bike infrastructure. Go after the illegal bikes/electric motorcycles and don't forget about those cars that actually kill almost 40,000 Americans a year.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Jesus.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)
what a wasted opportunity, invest in bringing back the ebike rebates. They are affordable, efficient, make more sense for half of all our trips that are under 3 miles and don't cost 12-15k annually to households. Oh, and they are not involved in collisions that kill 40,000+ Americans every year.

A group of people gathered around a fire pit eating 'oliebollen' to celebrate the end of 2025.
Made a bucket full of batter to bake Dutch 'Oliebollen', which we enjoyed in style with traditional Dutch weather. Happy New Year, best wishes for 2026!

Cartoon boxes starting with complaining about not enough car lanes, gradually progressing through stages of understanding car-brain and dependency all the way to suggesting that city council should consider scattering tire spikes on roads to make cities worst places to drive in order to make them better places to live.
Hadn’t seen this one before. The good news is that we have many smart solutions to address the surrendering of cities to cars that don’t involve tire spikes. But they DO involve actual political will, strengthened by public understanding of the serious need to act. Via @xkcd.com

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
