IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

I am overwhelmed & exhausted by the amount of press we've gotten over this but also determined to continue speaking loudly against Trump's reign of cruelty & retribution. #AbolishICE

These numbers are a shitshow. The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

“.. Carney .. gave a magnificently powerful speech before the gathered elites that will be discussed many years from now. Decades, likely.” @charlotteclymer.bsky.social charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/canada-ann...

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires have signed a letter calling for increased taxes on the super-rich. Extreme wealth means extreme power - over our politics, our media, and our lives. When even the super-rich know it's time to tax them more, will Labour finally listen?

A glowing “No Kings” message appeared on a mountainside in Davos hours before President Donald Trump’s World Economic Forum address, according to NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander.

Can we rally and get @nancylacore.bsky.social more followers She’s running for Mace’s seat in SC. Mace is vacating her position to run for gov 🥴 Let’s go!

After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause. I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do — and I am not done serving. Join my team at nancylacore.com

We are looking for partners for the Erasmus+ Sport Not-For-Profit EU Sport Events Action: erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/programme-gu... We offer sport activities for persons with disabilities and ideally we'd join forces with a sport org that doesn't yet, as well as an academic org Tips? :-)

A canny political and media strategy from @zackpolanski.bsky.social. Immediately he defuses climate delayers’ favourite cynical attack lines, and avoids headlines like “Polanski says you should never go on holiday, drive a car, or eat meat”. But, crucially, he's leading by example... 1/🧵

Extreme inequality in personal carbon emissions is a massive issue. Addressing is matter of justice and, crucially, is essential for achieving buy-in for climate policies. Perhaps understandable this is not a fight Polanski is choosing right now. 6/6

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Here is the video message of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell regarding the Justice Department’s criminal investigation related to the Fed’s building renovations. Watch it. youtu.be/KckGHaBLSn4

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

2026 has brought me a new job! I've joined Kompas, a Belgian non-profit supporting persons with disabilities in living, learning, working & free time. As Innovation Officer I'll bring in new technologies and approaches that uplift the human connection and give people more agency & resilience.

💥 Huge night in Florida. Democrats overperformed everywhere. Miami flipped blue with a nearly 90-point swing. Palm Beach’s House race swung 18 left. The Villages’ Senate race swung 22. This is a warning shot for 2026.

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.

All I want for Christmas is a crossover season combining The Diplomat and Slow Horses 🙏🎄

Labour bearing down on immigration will fix this any day now.

How many four year olds do you think would be able to represent themselves in court, in another language, with no familiar faces nearby? Zero. It's zero.

Because of course it's written like that

No wonder so many Republicans in Congress are retiring. According to latest polling by Gallop, congressional Republicans only have a 23% approval rating WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Side point, but it can’t be said often enough that so much of today’s political debate is taken up with migration, when it is *plunging* 📉 (from OBR docs):

Day 1371 of the war begins with the killing of more civilians in another Russian multi-missile attack on the capital of Ukraine and other cities. Welcome #TeamTim to the daily thread with all the news about Ukraine and Russia on Tuesday 25 November.

I guess it’s a compliment that the top story on BBC London’s TV/online output today is a direct lift of a month-old London Centric story? But once again the BBC is consistently the worst news outlet for actually remembering to credit others.

The last time America attempted regime change to lower the price of oil it embroiled us in a war for two decades And that’s just ONE of the many, many reasons not to attack Venezuela The criminality of extrajudicially killing thousands of innocent civilians would be another

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Wait, have we considered the upside of climate change in Mar-a-lago dipping beneath sea level?

Just like the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. There’s a planet where all the teaspoons are teleported to.

The legacy of British austerity can’t be understood without considering the effects on mental health, especially childhood trauma.

15/ These examples span 2010 to 2025 & some policies have been reversed. The pattern has not. Whenever Republicans controlled state legislatures they used that power to silence cities and override local democracy. This thread is a reminder. Their actions show who they have chosen to be. GOP serve $
