I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
The degree to which PSAs make jokes out of victim-blaming away one of the country's worst public health crises is not great!

"After being held in isolation for about five days. Rodríguez was forced to strip naked in a shower while an officer "poured some kind of chemical liquid on her head, which seemed to be something used to clean floors and burned her eyes,” the filing read."
When I look at this, I see potential. Look at how many families, children, and daily commuters fit into the exact same curb space as one sedan. This is why we fight to build infrastructure that invites human-scale mobility.
‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
I had to wait 23 years living in this Nashville neighborhood before a common-sense safety feature was added to cross 21st Ave S at Belcourt. Never lose hope.
Anecdotally: the son of a coworker of mine had both legs broken crossing the street here years ago, spent a long time disabled.
Car culture, by design, carries an arrogance of space in cities. You don't often see it until you change the perspective from oversized streets to pedestrian avenues.
Modern cargo bikes don't replace bicycles, they replace cars. If you haven't ridden since childhood, the capability will shock you.
Groceries are the perfect gateway errand for daily mobility. The bikes are ready. We just need the infrastructure.
A speeding motorcycle kills two teenagers, so lets regulate the teenagers ability to ride an ebike
I don’t understand how people are okay with this.

Gallatin Pike between Trinity and Briley kills more people each year than the entirety of Helsinki, Finland.
The Music City Loop is nothing more than an amusement park ride that we’re paying for.
Build it and they will come…
We can design a road with a billion lanes based on made up "Traffic Operations" numbers.

Pedestrians going to the hospital apparently don’t exist. And the road is not wide enough 🤯 @nashvilledot.bsky.social @vanderbilt.edu
Cities for kids
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.
As I've said many times, this is an awful thing that we are doing to ourselves for no discernible reason.
Who's going to tell them this is never going to work?

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.
