It‘s a first step.

Meet all 37 White House ballroom donors funding the $300 million build, including Silicon Valley tech giants, crypto bros and the Lutnicks | Fortune The list, reviewed by Fortune, did not mention specific dollar amounts offered by each contributor.

We all should put pressure on the ballroom donors to donate the same amount of money to food banks across the country. What's more important to these CEOs? Access to the president, or to prevent 40 million+ American from starving? We know the answer, but we should shame them about their choice.

I agree!

Green Party graphic featuring Natalie Bennett’s quote. The background shows a child on a swing in a park at sunset, with warm light filtering through trees. The headline reads: “Planning should make space for play.” Below, the quote says: “Play is essential for children’s healthy development. Today I plan to ask the House of Lords’ planning decisions to take account of that, with a ‘play sufficiency’ amendment — promoted by Play England — to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. We need to build healthy communities, not just housing.” Natalie Bennett’s name and title, Green Party Peer, appear at the bottom alongside the Green Party logo.

Healthy communities need safe, accessible spaces where children can play.

Today I’m asking the government to ensure our planning system makes space for play in housing developments.

The secret and true reason why I only ride a bike.

Impromptu stops for pastries are so much easier by bike.

Can't easily stop and take a selfie with trail-side Halloween decorations when you're in a car.

Für die WELT waren Atomkraftwerke nie zum generieren von Strom gut, sie waren Heiligtümer einer fragilen Männlichkeit.

Give us walkability and trains.

My stress has been an 11/10 for months. Hopping on the bike for errands doesn't fix the source of that stress, but it provides a vital refuge from it.

​This is a moment to decompress.
Driving in traffic is just...more stress.

Dutch bike. Dutch supermarket bag. Hauling groceries in the US. ​The cultural invasion is proceeding as planned, and I am 100% here to support it.

Does your vehicle carry another vehicle?

Whenever I see cars parked, I think of Schrödinger‘s law of uncertainty. It seems that drivers either know how wide or how long their car is, but never both.

Asshole behavior.

People don't hate cities, they hate the threat from and chaos of cars in cities.

The increase in value of our food investment in the kitchen cupboard is currently significantly higher than my gains on the stock market. Therefore, I'm currently only investing in chocolate, cookies, and pasta.

Most kids are taught that streets are just for cars. We have to give them a better message, and this book does exactly that.

"​If This Street Were Mine" is about a kid who imagines a better, safer world. That's the world we're trying to build.

Available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

How we move shapes how we perceive others.

When we walk and cycle, we move at a human scale, seeing those around us as fellow people, not as obstacles.

Good infrastructure creates these safe, social spaces, breaking down isolation and rebuilding our sense of community.
