America’s brain drain

No words

For your Sunday reading consideration

Massive escalation at the ICE facility. Federal agents made multiple arrests (at least 4), threw out gas, and shot tons of pepper balls.

Heard one of the people arrested screaming minutes later. Not possible to get a visual.

In cities, street space is a really scarce (and under-valued) commodity. Increasing vehicle size costs everyone.

And vehicle weight determines your impact on the wear-and-tear of cities.

So this kind of public policy is really just common sense.

The best week of the year! #FatBearWeek

A belief of mine that I’ve not only questioned but almost completely reversed is that people respond politically to their materiel conditions. Since COVID I think most people live in a world mostly mediated by what they see on TV or their phones and respond more to that than to reality

Ruby Bridges, age 6

Norman Rockwell's painting "The Problem We All Live With," depicting the event originally published as a centerfold in the January 14, 1964, issue of Look magazine.

Ruby Bridge talking to President Obama as they look at Rockwell's painting when it was temporarily displayed at the White House in 2011.

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.

She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

The past isn’t past.

Thinking of this quote again in light of the Korea / ICE debacle at the Georgia auto plant.

In Yellowstone, Migratory Bison Reawaken a Landscape

One of my sources of hope and inspiration is the growing Indigenous-led buffalo rematriation movement.

It combines ecological restoration and cultural reconciliation to begin addressing the legacy of genocide to both Native cultures and the land. We can remember our way forward...

This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

would you believe they are DOING THIS in the Finger Lakes region of NY? because they are!

check it out: carbon “offsets” that aren’t tree planting or sketchy high tech schemes, they’re funding insulation and heat pumps for households to help them get off fossil fuels

Today @merkley.senate.gov and I released a report on our recent trip to the Middle East.

Our inescapable conclusion: the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Tune in as we discuss what we saw and where we go from here:

Anti-Islamic US biker gang members run security at deadly Gaza aid sites BBC identifies members of Infidels MC gang hired as armed security at US and Israel-backed aid sites.

Remember the Gaza Humanitarian Fund? The shady American nonprofit run by a Christian Nationalist that was given full control of food aid distribution sites in Gaza?

Its parent organization GH solutions hired members of an American white supremacist biker gang to run security for the all the sites.

Mandla Mandela, a grandson of South Africa's anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, says he’ll join the Global Sumud Flotilla seeking to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza with an aid boat from Tunisia.

Graphic is showing a highly detailed prioritization of ways to get around a city, from most sustainable and healthy to least sustainable and healthy.

I’m once again working with a city writing new integrated transportation & land use policy, and we’ve been discussing whether to PRIORITIZE walking, biking and transit, or achieve “BALANCE.” This is a key conversation where I sometimes give a fast and simple answer, but the truth is more complex. 1/

If like me you saw this post and said that’s great but didn’t listen, I recommend listening. It’s a good sound.

You'll want sound on this one...🔊👈

Just remember, you don't hate cities, you hate the danger and chaos of cars in cities. Design for people and you'll restore life.
