With 470 trees planted and 4,000 m² of green space, Place de Catalogne in Paris’s 14th district was completely transformed in 2024 — a bold return of nature to the heart of the city!
Kudos @annehidalgo.bsky.social 👏🏼 💫
Happy Proximity

Reverence.

If you cannot see children trick-or-treating, maybe consider not driving tonight?

I agree w Emily there needs to be more housing for incremental life stages. I have 0 disagreements w her policy recommendations

My emphasis for "family" housing (as a developer) is on building Baby Maybe units rather than Studios, bc I think they are under supplied relative to demand

I'll explain🔽

a trans girl in college committed suicide days ago amid discrimination against her easily tied to this administration’s policies. npr and other media should cover that too

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

this is it

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I do not enjoy calling, emailing, and posting about community dangers, but it feels necessary in the face of so many issues on our streets. I'd much rather just enjoy moving through the community.

I’ve previously done planning work in the Capitol District and there was so much red tape for projects well away from the Hill. I just cannot comprehend how quickly all of the supposed checks and balances have been removed to capitulate to this regime.

someone show this to the guy who sells bootleg Steelers shirts in Pittsburgh's Strip District

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

Trump Is Using ‘Classical Architecture’ as ‘A Dog Whistle for White Nationalists’ One of President Donald Trump’s final actions in his first administration was...

Trump has
-ordered that new federal structures be built in the “classical” style
-paved over the Rose Garden
-ordered that 2 DC Confederate statues be restored
-proposed a triumphal arch in Arlington
-demolished part of the WH to make room for his $200M ballroom

AAA: Nighttime Safety Improved with Pedestrian Detection Effective Rates Rising from 0% to 60% Media B-Roll ORLANDO, Fla. (Oct. 15, 2025) – AAA evaluated vehicles equipped with pedestrian automatic emergency braking (PAEB) systems, building on

New AAA study finds that pedestrian detection systems are only 60% effective at night (which is when most pedestrians are struck).

Lesson: Car tech will not "solve" the crisis in US pedestrian safety. Addressing car bloat, deadly street design, etc is also necessary.

The US government has officially opened Bluesky accounts and their messaging so far is as unprofessional, juvenile, and deceitful as you would expect.

Don't let this cult of fascists steal your peace on this site. Sub to the blocklist and steal some of their power. 👇

I had a conversation with a friend's Dad this weekend about this exact newsletter and its general awfulness.

But it's bad...

They've changed the coach; can they change that font? It doesn't match the font on the inside with the championship years.

He’s giving a young 65 though. Honestly had no idea he was that old.

if you liked the piece subscribe to the newsletter. it's free. and that way the next time i write a good one, you won't miss it. i write about US politics and culture with a focus on trans issues.

The Carter/Reagan era of austerity did so much damage to America’s state capacity, it’s unreal. HUD, USMTA (now FTA), DOE, the GMENAC report, the freezing of the federal workforce—we just about gave up on solving problems we couldn’t bomb, tax, or credit

Portland is ... right there. It's a real place. People live in it. People can go look at it. You could call someone there right now.

There are real people on the end of these grants. Rust belt autoworkers. Great Plains farmers and roughnecks. Coal communities looking to a new economic future.

It’s genuinely heartbreaking. They don’t have do this — the money is already obligated — but I guess they enjoy destroying lives.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

“A victory for FAST leadership.” - take a lesson, folks. Don’t make your citizens wait decades for change.

Donald Trump has heard the wails and lamentations of all the Rust Belt communities left behind by neoliberalism, and he has a message for them: fuck you and die

Right? How do you fix this? JF has gotten everything he’s asked for. Yet here we are.

Right? He’s a senior. I don’t care if he’s happy. You play to win the game. 13 is the better runner.
