As of today, the speed limit on 270 roads in Utrecht has been lowered to 30 km/h. An important first step in improving road safety, although for now, it only involves new signage and the installation of speed cameras. The necessary redesign of many roads will take place over the coming years.
A new traffic sign next to a road without a separate cycle path indicating that the maximum speed on this road is 30 km/h.

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID? And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina. Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

A thing I feel that not enough people know about is that the US last year produced more oil and gas than any country in the history of oil and gas and of countries. We will break that record this year.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.
