In a time of AI slop and 90 second attention spans, it's good to take 10 minutes and read a well-crafted, human crafted, story.
Becky Manawatu brings us a rich and melancholy glimpse of time in a setting that is very Kiwi, but also very universal.

The design of the new Maliebaan intersection in Utrecht, which connects two bicycle streets on the main cycle route from the Central Station to the University area, is slowly taking shape.

✅more space for active travel and greenery
❌traffic lights will be removed for better traffic flow

Collage of four photos showing the work on the new intersection connecting Nachtegaalstraat and Burgemeester Reigerstraat in Utrecht. The shape of the new intersection is slowly becoming visible. During the work, car traffic will be one-way only, but bicycle traffic will be allowed in both directions.

“It appears rather ironic that Public Trust is mandated by the Family Court to audit our statements, to ensure we haven’t ripped [the man] off,” she wrote.

“But in the process of this, we feel that he is now being ripped off by the system.”

It’s like their entire goal is to be as vile as possible.

Kluwe: They’re trying to get even more seats for Trump.

If you’re willing to sacrifice American values and democracy, then you can wave all the flags you want, but you’re not an American—you’ve decided you want a king, and you’re okay with that. And frankly, I’m not okay with that.

Phang: His case is like several others, and yet I feel like, in some ways, it’s worse. To be wrongfully convicted of a crime you never committed—to serve more than 40 years in prison for it—is horrific. The man has had his life stolen from him. And now, Trump’s administration wants to deport him.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

Levin: I did not pay one dime to any Republican to publicize the No Kings protest. They’re talking about it all by themselves because they’re scared—scared of mass, peaceful people power.

They can smear us all they want—these are our First Amendment rights, and we’re showing up.

My mom’s protest signs, as always, are a helluva thing.

A painting of George Washington with NO KINGS in orange ombré letters, in front of an American flag. Mixed media on posterboard. Can you tell she has an MFA?

My heart was jubilant while reading this story this morning - more than 100 Chinook salmon have passed the former Klamath River dam sites as well as the fish ladder at Klamath Lake and are naturally spawning in Oregon headwaters for the first time in over a century! 🐟🧪🌎

www.opb.org/article/2025...

Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers

Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.
