I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

Why are car-centric transport systems so difficult to undo? Because automobiles represent the dominance of private property over public space. In this @urbancyclinginstitute.org essay, I look to history to uncover how we got here. #StealingCars

Today, Aslı Bâli argues that in this moment of deepening constitutional and geopolitical crises, the left must recover traditions that refused to separate democracy at home from anti-imperialism abroad. And no recent text has done this better than Aziz Rana's *The Constitutional Bind.*

Revisiting The Constitutional Bind during the Interregnum
As the country marks 250 years, the left faces two imperatives at once: confronting a constitutional order warped by judicial supremacy, and reorienting American foreign policy away from endless war.
