NEW: “Canadian urbanist @BrentToderian teamed up with the city of Paris and, in particular, its mayor, Anne Hidalgo, on a new exhibition that shines a light on cities and global climate action.” Thanks @momentummag! https://t.co/5VQu8cyQLr
What an Exhibition Launch today at Paris City Hall! As I shared with media & guests, It’s been a HUGE honour to be invited by Mayor Anne Hidalgo to co-curate this unique Exhibition powerfully “connecting the dots” between better city-building and urgent climate action!

In some regards Scopes and Dover were polar opposites. In Scopes, the teaching of Darwinism was banned. In Dover, Darwinism was the favored child, and intelligent design was banned.

The clear takeaway from today is that Donald Trump is not unstoppable and you are not powerless.

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers. If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit real options, it works better for everyone, including drivers. INCLUDING DRIVERS! The “war on cars” is a lie.

Fact check: The president today denied having said something he said on camera five days ago, then launched into a personal attack against the reporter who had accurately repeated his previous remark back to him.

President Donald Trump on Monday falsely denied making a comment he had made on camera just five days prior. Then he launched a personal attack against the reporter who had accurately repeated his...

I am so sick of watching this disgusting weak decrepit pedophile attack female reporters while people sitting next to him smile and no one in the press corps says a word. This is unacceptable behavior from anyone, especially a President.

BREAKING: Hundreds of protesters are now rallying outside the Indiana Senate chambers to fight Republican gerrymandering. This is what democracy looks like when people refuse to be carved out of their own state.

Why would anyone have their setting on “for you” instead of “following” on this site? I have this crazy assumption that the people who would be interested in my content enough to follow me know enough not to let the algorithm choose what they can see…
@BrentToderian I think its just a function of the fact that people on X are naturally attracted to the home page which is basically the worst version of ourselves. All the stuff we hate like. I never look at my following page anymore. I follow you but barely see your tweets. Too nice.

This is EXACTLY what an emboldened Russian asset would do.
Trump says Russia is not a threat, our greatest threat is our American representatives, we need to reevaluate the purpose of NATO, and most of the people in the State Dept, DOD and Intel Services need to be fired so he can put the right people in.

Each and every fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets and roads for cars, making them faster and more dangerous, and how much space we could reclaim for people and public life. We call them sneckdowns. GIF via @otucis #sneckdown

Dr. Hotez is a better person than me.
Not true, I don’t despise antivaccine activists, including aggressive ones. Instead I view them as victims of health disinformation campaigns organized by a wellness influencer industry for its profit, adopted by a political party for control. Many lack critical thinking skills

🚨Pam Bondi just ordered the FBI to compile a list of American "extremists" and to establish a bounty fund to reward tipsters, per DOJ memo leaked to me:

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.” If you hold in your heart such complete disregard for millions of strangers whom you seek to

“America is not coming to help” rather understates matters.
Europe is under siege. Russia is threatening to conquer it. China is backing Russia. America is not coming to help. Europe has to make big changes and stand up for itself, or risk being carved up by other powers. https://t.co/eDMSgp5com

Anyone who doesn’t know what "kind of person" Putin is by now is a moron or a corrupt sycophant. Having these unelected, unappointed Trump family members and business partners selling out Ukraine is a national disgrace.
🇺🇸🤔 Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner made a positive impression on Putin, — Ushakov. "Kushner just joined the process, so it was important for him to understand what kind of person our president is. In this sense, the meeting was quite successful.

I'm truly puzzled that Trump fans who believe he's so strong don't see the deep weakness here. He's transparently for sale to whomever flatters him
Trump has the “FIFA peace prize” sitting on his desk in the Oval Office

People are always talking about lunatics on public transit. But what about the millions of lunatics on our roads? This kind of shit happens every day without ever making the news.

I allegedly have 144k followers here on X, compared to about 63k on the other site (where I get a LOT more views). I should get thousands of views in my metrics even without any reposts and such, as I used to, just as a numbers thing. Except my reach is being deliberately
