In recent years, the people of Georgia have flooded the streets, standing up against police brutality and the brutal crackdown on peaceful protests. They are determined to pursue a democratic future, yet their government is blocking that path. Instead of moving towards democracy,

BIG NEWS: New York Governor Kathy Hochul is moving to revive congestion pricing after Trump’s win. She’s apparently looking to enact the “delayed policy” that was assumed killed before Trump takes office. Very interesting. That would be a very good thing.

Group behind the East Bay recalls sent out a mailer that also opposed Prop 3 (marriage equality), a position that puts them to the right of the California Republican Party, which was neutral on 3. Vote no on the recalls, and Yes on 3.

This event commemorates the origins of Berkeley’s famous early modal filters (those star wars looking concrete planters). They were initially a huge controversy but now they’re a beloved part of the residential street grid.
Join our event honoring the visionary urban planning work of Donald Appleyard! Remember the Fulton “Freeway" -- when cars screamed down to Ashby? 50 years ago, neighbors led by Donald Appleyard, came together to make Fulton and other Berkeley streets safe for our children.

I lived in Berkeley for a decade many years ago. I came back to give a talk at the university and I completely forgot how good the food is here. Here’s a random aisle in the grocery store with 10 kinds of egg plant.

If this isn’t an argument for free public transit, I don’t know what is.
The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000. $150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year. Instead four people shot, including an officer.

Air purifiers in Finnish daycare reduced children's illnesses by 18% in a carefully controlled study. This implies huge potential for better public health and cost savings from sick leaves, with a simple intervention against airborne infections. https://t.co/7F3KfB9Whw

As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re using as an excuse. If they walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school. Spread the word.

Happy #Pride, California! We’ve come so far since Stonewall, but extremists are ramping up attacks on the LGBTQI+ community—from healthcare to hate speech. During #PrideMonth, let's celebrate our incredible LGBTQI+ community while recommitting to the fight for true equality.

ALL EYES ON RAFAH. The Israeli military has just carried out a massacre in Rafah. They bombed displaced families huddled in tents, killing over 35 people with more trapped in the flaming debris. The death toll is still rising. We will never forget the images emerging from
