Ik vrees dat dit niet goed gehandhaafd wordt.

[Henk Swarttouw @copenhenken]

After Brussels, Edinburgh, Paris and others, #Amsterdam will next month reduce the maximum speed on virtually all roads to 30 kmh. In other cities this has reduced the number of traffic victims by 20-30%. "That's gigantic" says @MelanievdHorst. https://t.co/kvGkLTEa8H

In onze minimumloonwijzer zie je welke partijen #voor16 en 60% mediaan zijn. We zien dat het aantal partijen dat dit steunt aan het groeien is. Staat jouw partij al achter #voor16? #minimumloon #verkiezingen2023 @regering

@EduardStam I look forward to watching you reclaim Borealism from the far right.

New York Times, too.

[John Burant @JohnBurant]

So the Washington Post is using its “live updates” format for the UAW strike in the US. I don’t think I’ve seen that for a labor dispute before. That’s kind of a thing.

@Peter26061980 Winst verlies van… even uitrekenen… 0,1% 🥲

@AmericanFietser Put these at an angle and you’ve got a winner.

@heimbergecon More jobs added outside of France than inside of France, per the back-of-the-envelope math from this chart.

[John Burant @JohnBurant]

Pretty awesome action.

[Dripped Out Trade Unionists @UnionDrip]

"If we don't get it, shut it down" is taken literally in France as protestors build a concrete wall in the middle of a national road in Toulouse. #A69

[John Burant @JohnBurant]

The best ever @TerribleMaps.

[John Burant @JohnBurant]

It didn’t work.

[John Burant @JohnBurant]

The case is titled Held v. Montana.

Held means "hero" in German and Dutch. So yeah: heros.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

@mattijnvhoek Thanks for all the work on this!

The insidious effect of PTO. Another problem Europe just doesn't have.

Not East Friesland, obvs. Just Friesland. Hadn’t had my morning coffee.

[John Burant @JohnBurant]

Pretty interesting (to me) that the combined Labor/GreenLeft ticket tops the polling in large parts of rural East Friesland, Drenthe and Groningen provinces. Retrograde populist BBB party doesn’t seem to hold sway there the way it does in some other rural provinces.

[Nassreddin 🍉 نصر الدين @Nassreddin2002]

@EuropeElects VVD and PvdA/GL are trying to turn the provincial/Senate elections in March into a two horse race. It seems to be working a bit: VVD goes from 20 to 22, PvdA/GL* together largest from 22 to 24.

*PvdA/GL are merging in the Senate.

Peil also came with a map based on today's poll:
