  2. @dangillmor Benefitting from #LinaKhan's excellent team at #FTC, the #democrats had ample opportunities (but no gumption nor #politicalwill) to #BreakUpBigTech - now all the stars have seemingly aligned for #tRump and his constellation of #billionaire cronies to harvest from their #corrupt exploits.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

  3. We are still driving on a “highway to hell” to uncharted territory

    The climate extremes, which we produce, wreck our social fabric and way of life. Climate change "is an existential threat to humanity and [lack of] political will and vested corporate interests are preventing us addressing it."

  4. Car free zones in #Bellingen?
    In 2017, Ghent introduced its circulatieplan (circulation plan) which removed traffic from the city centre using #carfree zones.
    Since then there has been more space for #pedestrians and cyclists with only a select group of vehicles such as emergency services, trams, buses and taxis able to enter.
