Canadian Cities Guru Teams Up with Paris Mayor for Groundbreaking New Exhibition Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian teamed up with Paris and, in particular, Mayor Anne Hidalgo on a new exhibition, From Paris to Belém.

“Paris, and Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, have been the most inspiring in the world over the last 10 years…Not because they’ve been perfect — no city has been — but because they’ve been strategic, determined, & fearless.” — @brenttoderian.bsky.social interviewed by @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com.

LA: “Your children will one day grow up and know their fathers or mothers were kidnappers against our own people.”

‘Tipping points’ experts issue urgent message to world leaders World leaders must take “immediate, unprecedented action” to prevent devastating climate tipping points, experts say. The Global Tipping Points Conference is taking place in Exeter this week, and almo...

In a sane world, this would be the biggest, most important news story in the world.

‘Tipping points’ experts issue urgent message to world leaders.

“Every fraction of a degree above 1.5°C matters. And every year of “overshoot” matters too.”

“It’s ultimately a matter of survival.”

An illustration of a young girl in silhouette with a ponytail, standing against a fiery orange and red background. Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: “The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy. The intense backdrop and the child's silhouette create a haunting, powerful visual emphasizing the quote's message about the dangers of complacency toward evil.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy...

"That's just how it is."

It wasn't a clean RCV measure. It had California's jungle primary system, which sucks. I'd like to see a clean RCV for all elections in CO.

Ranked Choice is the way to go.

Be wary of the people you will hear clamoring to go back to first past the post after this, especially when they make false claims about "disenfranchising minority groups."

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in.

Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

Back ground with Zohran for New York City logo on blue. Ruwa and Zohran are standing in front of it. Ruwa is on the left wearing a tan and black scarf with green dress. Zohran is on the right wearing a black suit, white shirt, and black tie with white polka dots

Massive congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for a historic campaign. Your insistence on doing what’s right, loving people deeply, profoundly caring for the city, and refusing to allow the bigots to make you less joyful, kind, and good is a lesson to so many around the country. 1/

*This* is why they are freaking out about Zohran Mamdani.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

today of all days? must be a coincidence

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo.

We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

Kyle Clark, welcome once again to The War on Cars. @kylec.bsky.social

This is what "vote blue no matter who" gets you. Anti-labor "Democrats." We need a labor party that knows where real power comes from in our society and understands how to wage a class war rather than pretend we can negotiate with the 1%.

BIG NEWS: I’m very honoured to announce that I’ve been collaborating with the City of Paris under Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership to create a unique exhibition opening this summer at Paris City Hall on BOLD URBAN TRANSFORMATION, profiling cities around the world.

Stay tuned for details!

Swing voters are often characterized as “moderate,” even though every election shows us more and more that they’re really “change voters.” They’re not loyal to any ideology, they want something different, because the status quo isn’t working.

the democratic party got a single gen z representative with david hogg and he started actually representing the resentment young generations have to old and weak democratic leadership and canned him. pathetic. this party will genuinely never change and keep losing to republicans. bleak

I had to sit thru a commencement speech about how civility (undefined) is our most important value. So let me say these folks want us to be polite to them as they destroy our society and even kill our babies. And we should never grant them that or any peace

It shouldn't have to be said but if you're law enforcement and you have to cover up your face while doing your job, you are not the good guys in this situation.

I appreciate the honesty of these parasites. Why does anyone still support a system that celebrates and normalizes social murder?
