I am still thinking about @NaomiAKlein speech from last night’s “Seder in the Streets”. Luckily it’s published here via @guardian. “Zionism is a false idol that has betrayed every Jewish value.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
what starts here changes the world
don’t let this moment of student organizing fool you. the state is directly responding to threats against empire. they see students, young people, brilliant collective minds demanding an end to genocide, and they recognize the shift in power. they will do anything to maintain it.
THANK YOU @CW39Houston for highlighting more diverse voices of Montrose! And showing that many of us are IN SUPPORT of TIRZ27’s MBP despite a pushback from a small group! cw39.com/news/local/mon…
Columbia’s own website has a page about how the last time they called for a mass arrest of student protesters, they were in the wrong and fucked up their reputation for decades

We're suffocating to death from toxin-spewing, continuously widening highways because the highway lobby has an absolute chokehold on our governmental bodies. It's criminal.

More women in urbanist spaces because there isn’t enough talk about how pedestrian safety also includes women being free from the verbal/physical abuse/catcalling that happens while walking alone.
According to @USDOT, the annual cost of car ownership rose 44% from 2017 to 2023 (inflation-adjusted). Hard to see how this is sustainable, either for carmakers or for Americans. bts.gov/content/averag…

The crowd has now filled Indiana Ave. #whittenmustfall
Perhaps twice as many out today as last Friday’s demo. And this time things are clearer - the crowd roars when the core demand is put forward: “the immediate resignation of President Pamela Whitten.”

Therein lies the enormous political significance of the encampments that are now being established at dozens of universities, from the Ivy League to state universities.
College students are, to be sure, not an accurate reflection of public opinion or faithful mirror of their societies. But their activism often serves as a bellwether, an indication of the shape of things to come.
THREAD: The eruption of protests in solidarity with the Palestinian people at numerous Western universities, and throughout the United States in particular, represents a pivotal moment.
this piece is unbelievable. I am shocked they’re letting this air. This woman is saying that voting alone won’t stop fascism, and we have to throw ourselves into the machinery of democracy if we want to save it because none of us have ever seen a fully functioning democracy.
The fact that NPR just had a segment that literally said “The courts can’t stop fascism” tells me something major has shifted. it’s like people just woke up and realized they were in the middle of one of the largest assaults on democracy and reality in history.
Someone tell me, seriously: Why wouldn’t you want this? Maybe not this exact thing, but just to be able to live your life without suffering. That’s what they want, and it’s what I want too!
Free, free Palestine! Chanting amid a beautiful folk music performance. Lunch is about to be served and smells delicious. Life in the liberated zone is rich and sincere whenever the police aren’t attacking.
The sheer scale of redevelopment projects in London is hard to wrap your head around. This is the beautiful 42-acre Battersea Power Station redevelopment. At approx. $15 billion(!), it’s the equivalent of about 100 Hamilton waterfront redevelopments!
Students have brought the Gaza movement to downtown Bloomington, with many motorists honking in support.
Pundits can’t fathom the idea that students are simply *protesting genocide and demanding divestment* because they can’t imagine political action motivated by sincerely held beliefs. They’ve probably never experienced the power and joy of collective action. I feel sorry for them
For $2.3b we could build a subway & elevated on the west side from in order to improve connections to jobs that aren’t in the loop & increase frequency on outer branches of the Pink & Orange Lines.
Mayor Brandon Johnson is all in on the proposed $4.7 billion Bears stadium — and thinks you should be, too. buff.ly/3UzSP4d
Tel Aviv… An absolute tsunami of citizens calling for the immediate resignation of Netanyahu and his genocidal regime…🇮🇱
@xroblockx @whitmire_john There was reason to think he’d be bad about this kind of stuff. His campaign for example did not fill out the transportation questionnaire @LINK_Houston sent out to candidates
Peak Minneapolis: Two group rides cross paths on the Greenway on a chilly Sat morning: -one group w/ speedy road cyclists in full kits -the other going 8mph with a live guitarist on a cargo trailer + a ton of kids …& both groups give high fives as we pass each other. 🚲 ❤️
Why do people think if more apartments are built that it will make traffic worse if it's in a high-density area with a bunch of amenities? If I live three blocks from multiple bars, restaurants and an HEB, I'm gonna walk. I'm gonna ride an bike.
Mind still blown at American students using skills they gained from active shooter drills growing up to protect themselves from police
