Nothing to see here—just a sitting U.S. president pumping his shitcoin, after countless Americans have already lost billions investing in it. The most corrupt president in history, by far

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Am I Ugly?

You all know I love the inspirational power of a great “before & after” street or place transformation. Here’s a before, middle and after transformation, showing the temporary and then permanent changes. The evolution of a school street in Bratislava, Slovakia, HT @holz-bau.bsky.social. Very smart.

U.S. drivers “spend $1.7 billion a year to fund auto-dependency, the vast majority of which goes to automotive, oil & gas industries. It’s in the highway lobby’s interest to propagate the myth that these costs cover all impacts of driving, but that has never been true and is becoming ever less so.”

I think we need more trains (& bike/walk/roll infrastructure, & density). Forced car dependency is dangerous. And expensive. And bad for the climate. And bad for our health.

My brain just quit

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

We're so screwed. When's that asteroid coming again?

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The forced sprawl and hostile active mobility infrastructure of American suburbs (& many cities) sends such a strong message to anyone who needs or wants to travel without a car: your comfort and safety isn’t a priority here.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class. Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too. #Resist

Most of the solutions to climate change actually make life better, not worse. So we should be moving towards that better future with great joy and haste.

A who’s who of the world’s wealthiest people surrounded President Donald Trump as he took the oath of office — gathering a combined net worth exceeding $1.3 trillion for the occasion. Here's what to know: bloom.bg/3Ciairu

Two years ago today… No legal action

Incredible precision by the helicopter crew dropping water on the LA firea 🎯

Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel. We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration. We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.

Is this rebuttal supposed to be satire?

“Dune is colonialist” “dune is a warning” wrong. The message of dune is that all computers must be destroyed and that doing cocaine gives you superpowers

this is awesome
