Beijing was once notorious for its dangerous air pollution. Today, the city looks dramatically different.
Through investments in clean energy, electric transportation, stricter emissions standards, and urban green spaces, China has made remarkable progress in improving Beijing’s air quality.
Medea returns to Beijing after many years to see the transformation firsthand. Imagine what the United States could accomplish if we invested $1.5 trillion in clean air, public health, and sustainable communities instead of pouring it into the Pentagon and the war machine!

Now here is something the US corporate media will never show you because it doesn’t fit their Zionist agenda: American Jews protesting against the genocidal state of Israel by burning the Israeli flag in Brooklyn, New York.

Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander recalls a visit to Ramallah that challenged his fears about visiting Palestinian cities as a Jewish American.
When Israeli soldiers opened fire nearby during a raid, the Palestinian group he was with surrounded him to protect him.

There's an indicator species for evaluating the safety of your urban infrastructure, and it's not middle-aged men on bikes. It's women, seniors, and kids feeling safe enough to ride in their everyday clothes.

Being a transit advocate in America is hard because this is genuinely good news, but it costs $600 million a mile for a train that runs on the street. France is building fully automated, grade-separated metro for half that.
The capital of American car culture is now building more transit than any other city in America.
Los Angeles just broke ground on a nearly $4 BILLION light-rail line through the San Fernando Valley:
• 6.7 miles
• 11 new stations
• Connections to Amtrak, Metrolink and the G Line
• Access to roughly 150,000 jobs across the region
Rail service is returning to Van Nuys Boulevard for the first time in more than 70 years.
Los Angeles isn’t abandoning the car overnight but it is building a future where driving is no longer the only option.

We built a country that looks like this over the last 70 years to force people to buy a product that’s bankrupting them.
BREAKING: America’s $1.7 trillion auto loan market is headed for a crash, per Reuters.
Auto loans are now one of the biggest sources of household debt, bigger than credit cards.
And the strain is showing: 1 in 5 Americans is behind on at least one loan, the highest since 2010, and the average car on the road is now nearly 13 years old, a record.

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” — George Orwell, 1984
Defense contractors & their powerful lobby will never be satisfied with simply aiding the U.S. in building a strong military that is prepared for war.
The nature of the industry’s existence is not patriotism, but endless conflict. War is their business model—a perpetual state of war ensures a perpetual demand for their products.
Until we address this issue, we will continue to be subjected to forever wars that only serve the defense contractors—and the warmongering interests wealthy enough to rent the defense contractors.
Stop spilling American blood for profit.

OH. MY. GOD. There it is… from his mouth
🚨 Netanyahu Funded Hamas $35M a Month via Qatar, using U.S. Tax Dollars, and tells Investigators:
“This is confidential and can’t be leaked, okay? We have neighbors here, sworn enemies. I’m constantly passing them messages. I confuse them, mislead them, lie to them, and then HIT them over their heads.”
• Netanyahu worked to keep GAZA under the control of HAMAS. And keep the West Bank under the control of the Fatah with the goal of preventing them from ever being united.
• Netanyahu arranged for Hamas to receive $35 Million Dollars every month from Qatar
—— suitcases of $35M in American currency, every single month.
“Because the Qatar knew him, they made him put the request in writing because they knew he was going to lie in the future.” 🤯
The result? $1+ BILLION went into the hands of Hamas… fast forward — October 7.

China has built a high-speed rail network connecting cities across the country at speeds of over 200 mph. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to struggle with slow, aging passenger rail infrastructure.
It’s a question of national priorities. What if we invested more of our tax dollars in public transportation instead of war? Instead of more bombs, give us bullet trains! Join us in Washington, DC, November 10–12, for the Taxpayer Uprising to demand that our tax dollars serve our communities, not fund wars.

Forgiving infrastructure assumes people make mistakes. A person on a bike who loses their balance and falls shouldn't pay for it with their life just because there was no buffer between them and a vehicle 100 times their weight.

Lots of people drive cars in the US but that doesn't mean they want to.
Car fanatics want us to believe that car-dominance is because customers love cars.
But choices reveal desires only when there are real options.
