Your city might not be as far gone as Birmingham, but no matter where you live, you're likely to find familiar many of the aspects of @sarahchaundler.bsky.social's brilliant and now publicly available short film "City of Cars." Stop what you're doing and watch this.

City of Cars: shorter version

Please be aware that this film contains scenes which show the impact of road traffic collisions, which some people may find upsetting.

BREAKING 📣 For several days, a peaceful protest took place in the morning, after a young child was killed by a car driver. The child was riding his bike to school, the father with him. The grieving community came together with hundreds of people, cyclist or not, creating a 3km long human bike lane.

Des Plaines River Trail crossings Oakton St. The beg buttons activate 3 lights, the right and left are directly behind a sign. The cars don’t care either way, you still have to jump out into traffic in a “40 MPH” zone to get them to stop.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

ICE shot Wilber Perez in the back. Now, Wilber can’t move the left side of his body. How does paralyzing a DoorDash driver make anyone more safe?

The War on Cars @thewaroncars.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Let's play along and accept this argument for just a second. If it's cold for 50% of the year, that means it's warm the other 50%. Why would that mean people should be forced to drive 100% of the time?

For those in the UK and other countries where the lie is called a “war on motorists” rather than a “war on cars,” here’s a poster version for you to use and share. Either way, never forget, if there’s REALLY been any war in cities, it’s been a century-long WAR ON WALKING. #UrbanTruth #WarOnWalking

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.
