I will vote for Kamala Harris, and I will also continue to pressure her to stop funding the genocide in Palestine with American tax dollars. We’ve seen pressure work before, and it will work again, but it cannot be at the expense of losing every other basic right.

I've shared pieces of this earlier but I also want to do a quick 🧵 on the history of passenger railroad culture and why these railroad operators are like this. It isn't a simple "government inept" thing

if january 6th happened in any other u.s. city, there would have been a follow up narrative about how dc residents endured a tragedy, persevered, and kept moving forward after a shared traumatic experience. i’m not sure i have seen it recapped in that context before.

Tim Walz is one mean mfer when it comes to legislating.

One takeaway from this disappointing news: ⁦Mayor Muriel Bowser⁩ needs to hear from modeshift supporters as much or more than from its opponents. Don’t be afraid to pester her & Councilmembers about it. #DC #DCpolitics #transportationpolicy ggwash.org/view/96718/bow…

Say what you will about Bill maher but he's spot on about this

Kamala Harris will build homes and trains, Trump will cut taxes on billionaires.

I think Kamala hit exactly the points she needed to hit, but I’m a bit disappointed that her plan to tackle climate change sounded like “more US-made cars.” What about rail & transit & reducing car dependency? Then again, I know I’m far from the average US voter on that issue.

BREAKING: Chris Wallace just completely demolished Donald Trump’s debate performance. Wallace went so far as to call Donald Trump’s debate performance tonight the worst debate performance in American history. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

Fellow transit heads: if forced to face the choice between a super expensive but fairly short cab or ridehail to your destination versus a long, painfully circuitous but cheap transit ride, which do you choose? I go for the latter about 60% of the time, I’d say.
