"The American left: 'They’re really bad. They’re bad people.' Again, he’s talking about Americans here.
His own domestic political opponents: 'They’re vicious people that we have to fight, just like you have to fight vicious people. Mine are a different kind of vicious.'
American journalists: 'sleazebags.'
Residents of American inner cities: 'animals.'”

"This is not normal. It’s dangerous af. …
Trump was open about how he wants the military to engage with civilians: He said that 'quell[ing] civil disturbances' is 'going to be a big thing for the people in this room.' …
The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. They now understand how Trump intends to use their forces."

"President Trump did not have many bad things to say about America’s foreign adversaries. He spoke about Vladimir Putin in largely neutral terms (only saying he was 'disappointed' in him) and barely mentioned China.
He did, however, speak with great moral clarity about certain classes of Americans whom he views as a grave threat:"

"Hegseth is probably the most openly Christian nationalist true believer in the entire Trump administration (Russell Vought may be tied with him). He always brings Jesus to the war party. Because, of course, in the theology of Christian nationalism Jesus is a Warrior. It may well be their central image of the Son of God — a bloodthirsty, revenge-seeker with a sword in hand."

#Armed #FederalAgents patrolled #Chicago’s downtown streets on Sunday & #Trump called up 200 #NationalGuard troops for deployment in #Portland, #Oregon, a move strongly opposed by the governor that immediately prompted a lawsuit saying Trump overstepped his authority.

Soon, bulldozers are expected to rumble into Asia's largest slum, in the heart of the Indian megalopolis of Mumbai, flattening its labyrinth of filthy alleyways for a brand-new neighborhood. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/27/asia-pacific/society/india-slum-gentrification/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #india #development #cities #housing #poverty #gautamadani
As the population of Spain's rural regions continues to fall, raising fears that smaller towns and villages may eventually vanish, public and private actors are experimenting with ways to reverse the demographic decline. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/12/world/society/spain-rural-regions-revitalize/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #spain #depopulation #tourism #rurallife #cities
“We should invest in small, affordable vehicles.
We will propose to work with industry on a new Small Affordable Cars initiative.
The future of cars - and the cars of the future - must be made in Europe.”
— President von der Leyen will hold tomorrow the third Strategic Dialogue on the Future of the European Automotive Industry.
The dialogue is a continuation of our commitment to safeguarding the future of a sector that is vital to European prosperity.
The future of #cars is to NOT be individually owned, and to be a last resort means of transportation.
Reducing drastically the share cars take in our transportation, the space they take when parked in our #cities, the #hospital beds they fill with #roadCasualties, is vital to our #climate, our #wellbeing and our #health.
We should invest in #rail and #bike #infrastructure, and not replace 260 million cars by as many e-cars.
On Saturday, #Trump commented about #Chicago crime & #Illinois Gov. #JBPritzker on his Truth Social site: “Six people were killed, & 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, & JB Pritzker, the weak & pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing CRIME. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT”

Unlike the recent federal #takeover of policing in #WashingtonDC, the #Chicago operation is not expected to rely on the #NationalGuard or #military & is focused exclusively on immigration instead of being cast as part of a broad campaign against crime, the ofcls said.

As the population concentration in Tokyo is accelerating, the government has begun to take a different approach to help stem depopulation in regional areas and rev up local economies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/18/japan/post-war-tokyo-overconcentration/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #tokyo #population #depopulation #rurallife #cities #decentralization
Crowded cafés in a laneway in Utrecht's car-free CBD. Again showing people don't care about streetfront parking in nice pedestrianised streets.

Pittsburgh "plans to dim the new lights between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., which will save energy and money, and, according to the city, cause less harm to migratory birds, urban wildlife and humans."
