Thomas Brown - BLM 🇺🇦 😷 🔥🌎

We can retrofit nearly every intersection in this country to work for all users, but it would be less convenient for drivers than the status quo, and therefore policymakers will decide not to. It doesn't have to be this way!

If 7 people were killed and dozens were injured on transit yesterday, it would be on prime time with wall to wall coverage with headlines reading “is transit safe?” Yet, this is just how desensitized we are in a car dependent America. May god watch over the victims.

It is sort of genius though 😬 the hypocrisy laid bare in how we romanticise historical protesters & revolutions that have got us to where we are today - even the very violent ones - but hate anything that inconveniences us now

A man in Park City, Utah, dreams that he is living in the year 2023, and that in the future people go on strike because they only make $125/day, and eggs cost $10/dozen.

Colorado is considering a weight-base car fee to address car bloat:

🔹 Fee would would apply to cars >3,500 lbs, up to $29.90/yr
🔹 $$ collected would fund bike lanes, road diets, automatic cameras, etc
🔹 Only collected in the 12 most populous counties

[People vs. Fossil Fuels @FightFossils]

On Sunday, 75,000 people marched to #EndFossilFuels in NYC.

Together, we're calling on @POTUS to stop approving fossil fuel projects, phase out drilling & declare a climate emergency.

The movement to #EndFossilFuels is growing -- and we need you with us. https://t.co/PlSgxeXzGH

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

Prior to World War II, we built places like Galena, Illinois everywhere. Then our development pattern changed from walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods, to car-centric, single-use suburbs.

The former is resilient and adaptable. The latter is fragile and inflexible.

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

It is time to name names again.

This is Robin Wiessmann.

She SCREAMED at us.

She lost her shit because we showed up at the fundraiser she hosted for Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, demanding answers about fossil fuels.

She is the CEO of the PA Housing Finance Agency.

A key driver of the climate crisis is that we've made environmental terrorism a social aspiration.
