Trump has no constitutional authority to take us to war with Iran without authorization from Congress, and Congress has not authorized it.

"Trump has spent the last five months vowing that the Ukraine-Russia war would never have happened if he was president, vowing that the Israel-Gaza war would never have happened if he was president. And yet the reality is that not only has he not avoided war, but he’s plunged us into a new one."

Bet you Trump demands he get the Noble Peace Prize after illegally bombing Iran and joining Israel's reckless war.

I moved to Europe in part because car culture is just plain unhealthy. There’s plenty of cars here but cities and even towns are designed for transit, biking and walking.

If you want kids off devices, get rid of the cars off their streets. Build more LTNs. Stop building car dependent sprawl. Kids want to play outside; it’s their parents who don’t let them because of subconscious (and understandable) fears about them being hit by drivers.

"There should be age limits and helmet requirements." There are. There are also requirements for parents to supervise riders under 12. This mums is a nurse who didn’t know or follow the regulations and now wants everyone else to be deprived of choice. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

A powerful reminder of why active mobility matters. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Just 30 minutes of walking or cycling a day can boost our health — yet too few people across Europe reach that minimum. Time to rethink how our cities support daily movement. 💡 #ActiveMobility #HealthyCities #UrbanMobility #Sustainability

“A shared street, as defined by SB 5595, has a speed limit of 10 miles per hour and allows pedestrians to walk in the center of the street. Jaywalking laws — an early project of the auto industry — no longer apply. Cars are allowed but pedestrians have the right of way.”

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

“Parking minimums have no logic,” Russell told The Telegram. “They are based on people who made stuff up in the 1950s who walked into buildings & said, ‘Oh it’s 1951, it’s six years after a war where millions of people died. Hmm, how much parking does a salon need?’" www.saltwire.com/newfoundland...

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers. If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers. INCLUDING DRIVERS. The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

What I love about Dutch fiets culture 🇳🇱 is that it’s unremarkable. An American would see this and say, 'That’s hilarious but also super dangerous!' A Dutch person would just shrug—'Why? It works. Your streets are the death traps, not ours.'

The BBC! “Child dies after being hit by car on sports pitch”. Did it just roll across the pitch and crush him then? Read further: “The driver of the car, a man in his 40s, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.” Ah, so a man drove onto the pitch and killed the boy!

I think it's hilarious that Trump doesn't know the difference between transgenics and transgender. He accuses scientists of spending $8 million giving mice sex changes. What's next? Is he going to attack transportation, transactions, transponders, mass transit and the transatlantic? God help us.
