‘Debate’ is another one of those very commonly used words everybody thinks they have the same definition for, and clearly, they do not.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Vox published this reported essay I wrote on my first immigration visa a little over six years ago. I still meet people who refer to it and share it because there are so few resources (not written by law firms) which explain how hard the system is to navigate: www.vox.com/the-goods/20...
