Ventura voted to keep Main Street car-free after years of debate.
The decision reflects a larger urban planning question: should streets stay open to traffic or evolve into shared, flexible public spaces?

How To Close A Street Successfully
It's not a binary question. You can close a street fully and permanently, or temporarily, or occasionally, or partially -- or not at all -- and still create a rich pedestrian experience.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Oakland” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
NO KINGS Oakland · No Kings
**In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** ***NOTE:*** *We are planning this event right now - check back here for updates!* Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. 📍 Where: [Event Location] 📅 When: [Time] October 18, 2025 _A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events._

A woman was hit and killed by a truck carrying one of the tanks out of DC. From HuffPost: “An initial police probe found no evidence of criminal intent or negligence by the driver.”
Counterpoint: dead body found under your vehicle = evidence of negligence.

📌As always, Madison, WI, more then held its own today protesting against the orange, ghastly wannabe king, but the shadow of the gruesome political slaughter in Minnesota, and the masked, fascist marauders who are sweeping people off our streets loomed menacingly over a democracy in radical decline.
