My daughter’s name is Amalia. The only thing that separates her from this child is that our family immigrated in the 20th century, not the 21st.

"Everything is gambling now": How betting is taking over America Gambling culture is enveloping American sports, politics, media and trading.

As I've said many times, this is an awful thing that we are doing to ourselves for no discernible reason.

Nashville's Broadway is a car sewer. Reimagining it can't be that hard.

I'm not sure who would do it, but now would be a great time for a Democrat or group of them to do a launch a big "immigration is good for the country" campaign with a speech with the Statue of Liberty in the background.

As we’re seeing, being afraid to speak out and keeping your mouth shut doesn’t stop the fascists from coming after you. Universities thought they could keep their heads down or placate the right by going after student protesters and it got them worse than nowhere.

A million cars have disappeared: What NYC is like after one month of congestion pricing Congestion pricing began on January 5. One month in, traffic is down, public buses are faster, and transit ridership is up.

No surprise for those of us championing decongestion pricing for a long time. We know it works.

World’s most evil and stupidest man β€” also the richest β€” wants to kill world’s biggest donor org.

USAid disburses 42% of aid globally, assisting women’s health in conflict zones to access to clean water, anti-malaria work and much much more.

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.

β€œWhile Mayor, I was often asked β€˜how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, β€˜how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.’” β€” @mortenkabell.bsky.social

Congestion Relief Zone is Also a CRASH Relief Zone: Data - Streetsblog New York City Congestion pricing critics will have one less reason to say the toll isn't working

Early data post decongestion pricing show a moderate dip in total vehicular volumes equates to an exponentially positive impact in travel time savings and crash/injury reduction.

Win-win-win.

Hold the line!

If you want to drive in our densest, most transit-rich environments and cause pollution, congestion, and safety hazards, that’s fine, but you’ll have to pay and if that upsets you well so it goes. Drivers have had it their way for a century at the literal expense of everyone.
