This was so well done! The #visionzero concept indeed was lost in the discussions over the reasons for bike lanes. Slowing down vehicular traffic! As a daily user of the Yonge bike lanes, I (anecdotally) confirm that the reduced speed is safer for all! Thanks @mbonsma.bsky.social

HERE IT IS! I shot the awesome NYC Protest against Trump Admin attempting to cancel Congestion Pricing. It was awesome. I know people have been asking where it is this morning. As you can likely tell this edit took a lot of work and a sleepless night! www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Ht...

Here’s the thing — when a politician shows they can be bought & will sell out the public interest for their self-interest… and that they’ll easily lie when lives will be endangered & cities will be hurt…you know you can’t ever trust them. Every scandal has shown you can’t trust Doug Ford, Ontario.

“I spent hours with him and walked with him thru Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, & shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it’s worse—he doesn’t care whatsoever…He was unmoved by the experience.”

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

Elon Musk and his minions don’t have a clue how government works, but they think they’re qualified to remake it anyway. I was really happy to have @makenakelly.bsky.social on the show to make sense of everything that’s happened in recent weeks.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.
