It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today.

Streets for people.

Another #Antifa headquarters we toured this last month: Bergen-op-Zoom Canadian War Cemetery near the Belgian border. Most of the nearly 1,000 graves of Canadian soldiers here lost their lives in the fight to clear the north bank of the Scheldt estuary of invading Nazi German forces.

I'm a little late to party, but fully back on my Ezra stuff.
Please forgive me for invoking Baudrillard, I promise I'm not that pretentious IRL.

Klein wants a simulation of politics without conflict. Ascendant fascism won't allow that.
