This is my ideal coalition for the next Dutch government. Caring, Social, Diverse. Good luck Dutch Democracy:

Dit is mijn Ideale coalitie. Deze partijen hebben veel gemeen.

Rob Jetten is an unknown quantity. He has been dubbed Kennedy on the Waal (Dutch River). But if he forms an 8 party colaition he will be an instant legend. D66, CDA, GL-PVDA, SP, PVDD, DENK, CU, Volt.

This is how you make an 8 party coalition. For those living in democracy starved nations such as the US or Britain I invite you to feast your eyes and contemplate what you could have had. It's Awesome. D66 you could have your moment don't squander it.

Een sociale coalitie in Nederland het is gewoon mogelijk, maar je leest het niet in de krant. Een kans voor het midden, links en andere partijen om weer te laten zien hoe je samenwerkt.

Of course not everything is sunshine and butterflies. But even the negative fades over time.

Cultures constantly enrich each other. Change is live.

Countries have a law enforcement system in place. Having two systems is not effective.

I realized yesterday that even my family does not understand my position on open borders and immigration, so I created these little infographics.

I came across these burned out car wrecks on my bike trip today. They are not Teslas, but Ukranian cars destroyed by Russia parked defiantly in front of the Russian embassy in Prague. Maybe Donny can address this vandalism too. institut.pametnaroda.cz/pribehy-z-uk...

Back to early morning bike rides. I'm so out of shape. Totally out of breath, but just in time for sunrise.

Encountered this new sign on my bike trip. Had to bike along the river. Turns out reconstruction last fall was not to create a bike path, so it's riding through the frozen mud again. A little bit further is this beautifull two way bike path. Would love to see Prague develop a unified biking plan.

I'm hoping this concrete path will be the foundation of a new bikepath. Orgininal plans showed a bike link between Lower Holesovice and Stromovka. They did the nice undepass, now hoping this is the next bit. Fingers crossed.

New Bubny train station looks almost done. Still unclear whether the tram will be rerouted in that direction. It seems they left the space. but not seeing a dedicated lane for tracks. In any case this looks like it will massively improve the area and shave time of any trips to Prague airport,

Love these new bike parking areas on almost every corner in Holesovice. This makes riding share bikes even easier. This creates space for pedestrians, slows down cars and encourages biking. Would love to see this all over Prague.

A reminder that Russia (the USSR) annexed four countries it "liberated" after WWII and annexed part of poland. In addition it created what amounted to a series of vasal states including Poland. This truth has always beens hidden in plain sight, downplayed after WWII because it was inconvenient.

My dad shared this. He used to be a history teacher and his parents lived through WWII. My Danish grandfather was in the Danish navy (they did not see much action) and my Dutch grandfather was in the Dutch army (don't know if he saw any action). Don't forget the lessons from the past.

Loving this bike with built in mittens. Props to whoever invented them. The mittens go around the brakes so you have better grip then when you're wearing gloves. Wish I had come up with this idea when I was young and my hands were frozen biking to school.
