When you learn how cheap and easy it is to create safer neighborhoods, all the time and effort we spend doing nothing feels like a waste.
"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."
I’m worried about climate change but this is why I became and climate and energy lawyer. The petro economy is empire and death. Renewable energy means autonomy and peace.
Fuck this apocalypse death cult bullshit. Just build more fucking solar panels & batteries and deploy busses.
FUUUUUUUUUYUUUCK
The "trying to get a safe route to school" to "petrol supply side transition economics" pipeline is real
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 m v^2
Now that #UrbanTruth is on the job, it's a good time to present the scientific evidence showing that trying to reduce the amount of time cars spend idling in traffic does nothing to reduce carbon pollution. Induced travel produces even more greenhouse gases. cityobservatory.org/urban-myth-b...
Did Hillary's emails blow up 100 Iranian children in a school?
I don't care if Hunter Biden was snorting coke off a strippers ass if the following is true

When your conservative relatives start to whine about the "decadence" of the gender inclusive, immigrant loving, dei crowd, remind them who their tax money is literally in the hands of.
Just pull out his Wikipedia article and start reading.
It's real hard to take any conservative opinion seriously when they've elected the biggest tax cheat, business fraudster, pedophile and rapist in the entire country to be their president

Beautiful places destroyed by cars and car infrastructure.
Removing through traffic from your city centre ensures mums and sons can safely cycle through the city side by side.
Design streets for people, and people will use them.
55 of you have submitted testimony in favor so far! www.portland.gov/council/docu... If you also want to tell council that we need an Inner Eastside for All, please submit today if you can- the first hearing is tomorrow at 9:30AM! <3 portlandneighborswelcome.org/ie4a-resolut...
Holy Jeebus how wide is that car lane?!
No wonder people speed there, it looks like a race track.
we're not just "not even trying." we're doubling down on widening freeways, cutting transit, and doing fuck all to expedite the transition to electric vehicles. decades of squandered opportunity to advance policies that reduce emissions and also dramatically improve public health and quality of life

Cry more, sad little white man... May your tears water the good earth you exploit with your greed.
So ... progressive tax structures need to go on a ballot, but regressive tax structures can be implemented by any local govt that feels like it?

First bill of its kind in the US! 👏👏
Int’l code harmonization, cut out of this, was opposed by one (1) interest group: the Big Four elevator companies whose outsize profits are protected by the US’s unique code.
Let’s win the whole loaf in Oregon in 2027 & build the accessible homes we’ll need
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

The anti-war movement and climate movement need to get our shit together right now.
FYI the 1970s oil crisis was the impetus for Copenhagen turning into a cycling city

It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that there are ~5,000 households in Multnomah County who make at least $500k PER YEAR. There is so much wealth in this country and in Portland. It's just not distributed evenly.
Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:
DID YOU KNOW that the City of Portland extracts $10 million a year from downtown property owners in order to partially subsidize the city’s most active lobbying org?
