ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Some legacies aren’t measured by how long we live, but by the courage we leave behind.

It is the world’s first statue dedicated to a woman living with incurable breast cancer. #SheShed

I’ve been working on, managing and studying “pedestrianized streets” (aka turning streets into people-places) since around 1990, obsessed with why some thrive, why some fail, and how to do them successfully. Most cities are having the wrong conversations. There’s a better way. Is Vancouver ready?

Does this street look closed to you? We shouldn’t need to host the #WorldCup in order to open streets for people. #UrbanTruth #Vancouver

Picture of Granville Street in downtown Vancouver with street filled with people, restaurant patios, etc. Vancouver is a World Cup host city. Sign on the street says “road closed“.
