Calling the filibuster the "Holy Grail of democracy" is such a great way to say you don't understand democracy. Hurry up and retire, Manchin. You won't be missed. nytimes.com/2024/09/24/us/…

My God, the replies on this post. What an absolute cesspool this site has become.

WGBH did some great reporting on a study from Harvard JCHS on what allowing single stairwell buildings would do to our housing supply. That shift could lead to 130,000 homes in Greater Boston. Wow! buff.ly/3YmG1jl

Sneak a peek of the new Green Line Type 10 vehicle mockup. Future cars will be 100% low floor, longer, & with greater capacity to carry more riders on their travels. Watch Sr Dir of Vehicle Engineering Bill Wolfgang for a preview of our future Green Line cars. #BuildingABetterT

The comments on this post make me wonder why government agencies even bother to communicate on X anymore. The comments are at least half right-wing trolls.

‘You Can No Longer Drive, And Good Luck’: Figuring Out How Long It’s Safe To Drive Has Become The Third Rail Of Aging "We live out in rural Plymouth. The nearest loaf of bread is seven miles down the road. There isn’t any place to walk to." bostonglobe.com/2024/10/30/met…

There’s a lot to be aggrieved about in this election, but one I fixate on recently is how absurd it is that only about 6 states matter. Most of us are on the sidelines. Our votes are made useless by the Electoral College. It’s maybe the most broken thing about this whole farce.

I made a profile over at 🟦🏙️. Same handle. I assume that going forward, Twitter will only get crazier. Sorry; X.

Really confused why MBTA Commuter Rail changed the schedule so that three trains leave NS at 5:05. The waiting area struggles to handle it. And judging from how long I’ve been sitting on the stationary train, so does the schedule. #mbta

Clearing slow zones means nothing as long as there’s a steady drumbeat of other delays.

#TIL that Massachusetts re-implemented #redlining in 2022. Here's how it works 🧵

Red Line Braintree Branch: Shuttle buses are temporarily replacing service between Braintree and Quincy Center due to a track problem near Braintree. Please expect delays as buses are dispatched.

Oh, guys. Cracked rail on the Green, track problem on the Red, late work completion on the Blue.

🧵 So here’s what you missed at November's MBTA Board Meeting ↓

it’s time to have real conversations about what modern, safe, mental health institutions can look like

This Sunday, December 15, Bus Network Redesign - Phase 1 goes into effect. Routes 86, 104, 109, 110, 116 & 117 will see changes, including new Frequent Bus Routes with service every 15 minutes or better, new connections to subway & more: mbta.com/BNRPhase1 #BuildingABetterT

Using automated enforcement for traffic violations is not allowed under state law in Massachusetts. Increasingly, some municipal leaders say it’s time to change that. trib.al/ezy30cS
