The positive rhetoric of #placemaking is it transforms run-down areas into vibrant & economically successful areas. The reality is it creates sterile places, emptied of essential aspects of urban life, except expensive activities. The #city may be emptier than ever of #children and #families, but restaurants are booked up. ... Children are the canary in the coalmine for what is happening to our cities. When a city doesn't cater to children, it is no longer truly alive.

"We have unpicked the web of causes and effects that explain why long-tailed tits have complex social lives and a cooperative breeding system. Now, our aim is to understand how they recognise family members, whether it is with their calls, their smells, or simply because they built strong friendships over time with them."

More unbelievable #gaslighting:

#JDVance made the argument that #Trump is “a genuine humanitarian,” & said “he just wants the killing to stop.”

Right, the guy deporting #children with #cancer who are #UScitizens, sending #asylum seekers to #CECOT & now #Libya, separating #families, canceling #funding to combat #InfectiousDisease & to make heart pumps for #babies w/ heart defects, yeah he’s a real #humanitarian. Go fuck yourself JD.

#Threats against #judges & their #families “are ultimately threats to constitutional government. It’s as simple as that,”US Circuit Judge Richard Sullivan, chair of a #security cmte for the federal #judiciary’s policy arm, said.
The judiciary has emerged as a powerful constraint on a range of #Trump’s initiatives, from dismantling #FederalAgencies to #deporting migrants & targeting #LawFirms. As Trump defies court orders, #legal scholars warn the country may already be in a #ConstitutionalCrisis

Continued thread

As #Trump & his allies call for #judges to be impeached or attack them as “radical left” political foes, the #families of judges are being singled out for #harassment.

Since Trump returned to power, at least 60 judges or appeals courts have slowed or blocked some of his admin’s initiatives. Reuters spoke w/ 12 federal judges who raised concerns about the #security of their own families or of the relatives of colleagues handling Trump-related cases.
