💯 I'm a city planner in my bones.

What's more important to viable cities than supporting people: Their access to healthcare, food, housing, and their basic right to flourish in all their diversity?

Fossil fuel & AI-oligarchs believe cities can exist without free-thinking people. They are wrong.
Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year.

Of course I have.

The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious.

Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips

Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

You hear transportation engineers (especially for state DOTs) say stuff like, "People want to drive. We're not in the business of social engineering." Honey, your profession has socially engineered our society since the 1950s. It's time to invest more fairly across transportation modes
Imagine a 100m race where we’ve given cars an 80m head start after many decades of building almost ONLY for them. If we then set a transportation goal of “balance” between many more choices in getting around, by definition we have to prioritize the new choices for a while, or they’ll never catch up.

Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.
Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

“I can’t bike for transportation. I have to get my kids to school & sports practice, groceries for a family of 4, etc.”

Me too, but I’m lucky enough to live in city that doesn’t force car dependency on my family for every trip we take.

More cities should ensure residents have this freedom.

Since getting my e-bike 2 years ago, I’ve put in 12,000 miles.
that's right!

e-bikes replace *car* trips

they're the greatest climate mobility hack invented yet

governments should be giving them away
Interesting study from Germany on e-bikes and the modes they replace:

"43.1% of electric bicycle trips and 63.2% of electric bicycle mileage would have been undertaken using a car if no e-bike had been available, highlighting their substantial potential to reduce transport-related CO2 emissions"
