Kamala Harris will be the next President of the United States. I pledge my full support to ensure her victory in November. Now more than ever, it is crucial that our party and country swiftly unite to defeat Donald Trump and the threat to American democracy. Let’s get to work.
If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath
This hasn’t gotten a ton of attention but it’s absolutely outrageous.
"We know the conservative majority of this Supreme Court decided to let Black voters continue to be discriminated against in South Carolina this year in violation of the Constitution," says @chrislhayes.
Jeffrey Sachs, a UN Director, in the clearest and angriest response to Israel I’ve seen Everyone needs to say it like this:
Since anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. still don't understand simple public health concepts, here's a classic visualization from Penn & Teller.
Since the media seems more focused on other topics, I'm launching a new recurring feature: Biden v. Trump on the actual issues -- what they did as president and what they would try to do in a second term. First up: taxes. 1/
Trump's embrace of fascism is becoming increasingly overt, as he labels his opponents as "vermin," promises mass detention camps, and claims that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country." It's time we call this what it is.
There's a Hamas leader posing as a teacher in a school. The intel is unassailable, it's definitely him. You have a hand grenade and an open window through which to throw it. How many Palestinian kids would have to be in the class before you wouldn't throw it? Is there a number?
Invest 6 minutes watching this really important video. It just might change your entire outlook on why cities are the way they are. Then invest .6 more seconds and retweet it to help spread the word.
Never forget, “Free Parking” is the opposite of free. HT @voxdotcom

CEO pay of the largest carmakers in the world. Honda: $2.3M Nissan $4.5M Toyota: $6.7M BMW: $5.6M Mercedes: $7.5M Porsche: $7.9M Ford: $21M Stellantis: $25M GM: $29M Folks, don't believe it for a second that US automakers can't afford to pay workers better wages.
‘Tame’ wide British roads and replace them with boulevards of homes, says thinktank theguardian.com/cities/2023/se…
When it comes to the truth about the #ClimateEmergency, don’t believe oil and gas companies or car companies or suburban sprawl companies. Believe insurance companies. #ClimateCrisis
@markatodd @createstreets @boys_nicholas 1960/70s Urban planners “increased flow of traffic” & got this… Induced traffic demand, unsustainable hellscapes. Good 20 min cities are PRO-people, not anti-car. Social, economic, technological and eco interactions of PEOPLE, not cars, is what’s important in towns/cities
A good sign that you still don't quite understand transit-oriented development yet is when the tallest building around a light rail station is a parking garage.
Half of business owners on this #Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % for those who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid forbes.com/sites/carltonr…
When Americans go on vacation, they like places to conveniently walk or bike around, and yet many of those same people will oppose this walkable urbanism in their own hometowns.
The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife
“A decade ago, the Netherlands began building a national network of bicycle garages integrated with rail stations. Here’s how that investment has paid off.” — @DavidZipper in @CityLab. #Dutch bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
