Les mesures de restricció del trànsit sempre han estat relativament impopulars (des de fa mig segle), però les dades no menteixen: des del 2015 el trànsit intern a Bcn ha caigut un 19% (augmentant només un 2% a les rondes), traduint-se en una reducció del 30% de la contaminació.

At 17:14 in the video, the Tesla veers toward pedestrians. The driver hangs up the skates after that one.

That’s a long way to say domestic terrorism – at Denver, CO
People gather outside of a supermarket in Buffalo, NY as police investigate a mass shooting that took place on Saturday. Police said the shooter has been charged with murder in what officials are calling a case of racially motivated violent extremism. cbsn.ws/3Lj7Saq

Imagine if the media covered every car crash fatality (~40,000/year in the U.S.) the same way they cover a tragic event on buses, trains or planes. Despite the latter being statistically way safer than a personal car, sensationalism prevails during these rare occurrences.

Just in: A Denver jury just awarded over $13 million in damages to protesters injured by DPD officers in the 2020 George Floyd protests. Jurors overwhelmingly found that officers violated plaintiffs' first amendment rights. Will thread more details here.

This is a master class in how you report on a traffic crash, or any “accident” for that matter.
1. Center the person harmed.
2. Document the dangerous conditions that person faced.
3. Provide systemic context for those dangerous conditions.

La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, 1906.
For anyone who has ever been to Barcelona, this picture shows the story of how fast the urban development took place in (the first part of) the 20th century around the mid-19th century Eixample grid plan by Ildefons Cerdà.

So we zoomed out to look at how western states do.
Colorado was the only state to find ignition cause for less than half of wildfires.

some of the questions to ask the city/law enforcement are simple: like what’s the point of an anti-looting partnership with the national guard when hundreds of people called 911 to report looting anyway?
do your jobs: do more than transcribing copspeak.
