I have lots of thoughts—an alarming amount are about Taylor Swift. And sighthounds. And random things. I’m just normal.

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”
New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution
Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

Put another way, we’ve been convinced that cars represent “freedom” in places where we’ve built car dependency. That dependency took away our freedom, and the car industry convinced us that we could ONLY get it back if we paid whatever increasing costs of car ownership they demand.
Some “freedom.”
Some “freedom.”
Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom.
Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?”
Choices.
Choices are more free than car dependency.
It’s not a hard concept.
I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport.
I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

You can judge any city by the quality and vitality of its places for public life. Here in Torino Italy it’s the many piazzas, the pedestrian streets, & the public market. Many cities had to claim these places back from cars.
Don’t have those kinds of places in your city? Are you sure you’re a city?

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
