Car advocates are right to worry that once you build cities for people instead of cars, those people will stop voting for the interests of the car industry.

Do you want America’s rivers to look like this? Trump does. His EPA is ripping away protections that keep our water clean, air safe, and communities healthy — all to make his billionaire buddies even richer.

Trump/Musk are clearly attempting a coup: an illegal seizure of power. Their authoritarian tactics reflect an admission that their extremist goals are bankrupt and unable to withstand constitutionallly required processes or common sense. They must be defied.

This has always been Trump’s, Elon’s and the GOP’s intention. The end of fair and free elections in the Unites States.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

I know there have been a fair number of conflicting dates, so, let's organize and settle on February 28th to start. Market Blackout. No buying. No major retailers. No Amazon. For one day, we grind consumerism to a halt. (And with a little planning, this shouldn't be hard.) Let's do it.

We know you can do this one. Democracy dies in the darkness. Thursday, February 13, at 8 PM your time, turn off all the lights and TVs visible from the outside. #3E #LightsOut

Eventually, the MAGA initiative to disparage and demonize DEI programs will be futile. Our country is without a doubt diverse. Equity has been part of American life for generations. And inclusion programs have been taking hold for years, in small and large ways that can’t be stifled by edict.

I’m guessing that Trump will extract some meager concessions from Canada and Mexico, claim victory and quickly pull the tariffs.

If you need any more proof of the coordinated lies on the right, look no further—even AFTER they knew the New Orleans terrorist was an American-born citizen, they kept pushing the lie that it all happened because of our “wide-open border.” FACT: Unlawful border crossings are at a 4-year low.

Other cities have been following Paris’ lead, working on significantly raising parking rates for big SUVs & pick-up trucks. Can exempt for accessibility. It’s smart public policy relative to many of our biggest urban challenges. Your city should be working on it too. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/05/w...
