Mayor of Paris is leading the most ambitious effort worldwide to wean people off cars. She is redesigning transport, housing, jobs + public space so residents have the choice of living without long, polluting commutes. Cycling is now key to mobility. This is what leaders do.

Great to learn more about 'Dancing with Parkinson's Canada'. Our CEO, DR WAYNE MARKMAN (he/him) meeting Jessica Dargo Caplan, Dir of Outreach & Engagement (far right) and centre, the effervescent Barbara Salsberg Mathews . Hope we can somehow collaborate in future. #parkinsons #lighttherapy #dance

There is so much cause for worry or anger these days, that when something good happens, you have to take a moment to appreciate it. Wishing you, and Toronto, a successful mayoralty, Olivia Chow.

When leading public space audits across North American cities, I always say, “Public spaces tell the truth about who we really are.” Here’s our truth.

Using joy as an act of resistance, Barcelona’s BiciBús is equal parts celebration and protestation. Organized by parent volunteers in neighborhoods across the city; it offers a cheerful way to travel to school while drawing attention to the urgent need for better infrastructure.

I spoke to Mother Jones about all the atrocities that have been taking place in Israel-Palestine, and about the biases of international response to them motherjones.com/politics/2023/…

I’m constantly in awe of more and more Palestinians refusing misleading framings from mainstream media. This @Yaraeid_ interview on Sky News is an absolute must-see.

I’m sitting with this. Cannot tell you how extraordinary it is that people are encountering Refaat’s poem and taking it upon themselves to translate it. The replies are so many people adding a translation in their own language.

Israel placed in solitary confinement "a grey-haired, softly spoken history and civics teacher" for "a series of Facebook posts he’d made, mourning the civilians killed in Gaza, criticizing the Israeli military, and warning against wars of revenge." theguardian.com/world/2024/jan…

What Danny Postel said 👇 It is an honor to have my essay in New Lines Magazine pegged to this beautiful painting. It's a reminder of both the depths of creative talent in #Palestine & the heights it will achieve when people are finally allowed to live with freedom, dignity & rights.

Must-read from 4 Jewish Columbia University professors about their university president's failure to "to stand up for fundamental academic principles of honest intellectual inquiry and free expression" (and this was before she called the cops on student activists). theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Right now @UMichSPH’s commencement speaker, Jodi-Ann Burey, condemned the UMich’s leaders for not divesting in the face of the genocide in Gaza. “We are witnessing the most well-documented genocide in human history on our cell phones.”

‘Gazans counted on the world to stop this invasion, and the world let them down.’ Ruwaida Amer and Mahmoud Mushtaha 🇵🇸  speak with Palestinians in Rafah. 972mag.com/rafah-invasion…
