Before and after: 6 years ago, Utrecht restored the Catharijnesingel. Once filled in during the 1970s to make way for traffic, the historic canal now flows again around the old city, lined with pedestrian paths, bike lanes, and a park-like landscape.

Timed perfectly for Tuesdays election, Netanyahu sends the occupational forces to raid various communities in the West Bank. It’s the largest incursion since ‘67.

“Cyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.” Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

Premier: you capitulated to the right, campaigned on locking up my community-who you used to represent when I knew you at Pivot. You gave us a con majority that’ll bring still more death & misery. In this Mamdani moment you stood for capital. -lifelong NDP voter who voted Green

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

This is why their critical minerals are more important. They've got to begin ASAP so that any court challenges brought will be brought after projects are well underway. This is evil incarnate That area also has a lot of peat and its removal is just more carbon to destroy the lands and waters.

WE DEFEATED FASCISM IN BRAZIL, YOU CAN DO IT TOO

If Businesses want to keep the bike lanes why are we spending millions of $$$ to remove them? Ford’s vanity is costing Ontario - these are our tax dollars down the drain + the Toronto tax dollars that built them Insane waste #torpoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

Doug Ford’s $70 million Boondoggle #torpoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

Ash@ash27.bsky.social

Really great summary of the waste of Tax. Payer. Money. $27 million spent 2016 to install the bike lanes and $43 million to remove them now. Not only are we going backwards, we are paying through the nose. #torpoli #onpoli #cdnpoli thewalrus.ca/doug-ford-is...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I know the contexts are different, but Eby-ism failed, while Lula stormed to a comeback win tonight Lessons for the NDP going forward. In my humble view, Avi Lewis' vision for the party is far more Lula than Eby. That's a good thing.

People in Belgrade celebrated following Serbia's Aleksandar Vucic speech conceding defeat to a student-led protest movement in a historic election that ends his long grip on power and heralds a new political era in the Balkan country. reut.rs/4zkXvww

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

These protests and today's election wins prove my point that the idea that young people have no attention span, are lazy, and have no media literacy is absolute bullshit. They understand more than us and they're out there changing the world while everyone one else sits on their asses

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
