I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

Absolutely disgusting that #Eurovision are allowing Israel to take part. They should have been thrown out of the competition years ago. Good job to Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Netherlands for standing up for Palestine and against genocide. Other countries, stop being cowards. Boycott now!
Once a symbol of unity and hope across Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest has been turned into a pink-washing front for war criminals in Israel.
After today's decision, there must be a global boycott of Eurovision.

imagine what we could do with the highway trench through albina if we decided against adding more freeway lanes to it
In the heart of Seoul, a ribbon of water now threads through where an expanse of asphalt once stood. The Cheonggyecheon Stream restoration, which replaced a major elevated motorway with an ecological and recreational corridor, has become a powerful case study in placemaking and traffic evaporation.🧵

I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.
