In our quest to accommodate parked cars, we’ve paved over downtowns, polluted the planet, and made it near impossible to get anywhere without driving. @henrygrabar explains Big Parking — and how electric cars could change the game. open.spotify.com/episode/5vtPN3…

“When you have a lot of traffic on a roadway & you just add a lane or 2, all you get is more traffic… When are you in a situation where you can’t pave your way out of the problem & the real answer is better transit or more alternatives.” @PeteButtigieg

Just another reminder that we can transform streets to be MUCH better for people, providing more enjoyable mobility choices, with more room for all the things streets are supposed to do, AND ACTUALLY MOVE A LOT MORE PEOPLE, IF we stop surrendering all the space to cars. HT @NACTO

Tax the churches. Lets stop pretending there is any kind of separation here. They want to influence law, they can pay taxes.

OK, Twitter, look - it's time to have a talk. I've been seeing a lot of climate despair on here lately, and I understand it's cathartic to voice your deepest fears, but at this point in time, that despair is also a self-fulfilling prophecy. I work for an environmental charity- 1/

They painted BLM instead of defunding the police, clapped for essential workers instead of raising the wage, and made Juneteeth a holiday instead of making sure Black folks can vote. Always a symbolic victory instead of a material change.

This needs to be a turning point for America. It does not end here — far from it, but it’s a damn good feeling to exhale and feel that some semblance of justice was served. My heart is with the Floyd family. If you ever doubt the power of movements, please remember today.

Why should we care what the “founding fathers” thought about guns or statehood for DC. That was 200 years ago, guns were muskets and Georgia was “the west.” Plus they enslaved human beings so maybe i don’t give a shit what they thought.
