Epstein survivor: I found my name in two places in the first Epstein Files release. In the next release, the redactions were far worse. The Files displayed my name, phone number, and more. These documents contain disturbing yet incomplete accounts of my abuse. It was humiliating.

IS THAT A TWO-CAR BART TRAIN?

She's not on Bluesky, but huge thanks and congrats to Bike East Bay Co-Executive Director Jill Holloway for successful organizing to extend the Ava e-bike rebate! We only had a couple weeks notice, and with the help of our team she organized a petition, email writing campaign, and outreach.

BART crews will be replacing lights in the Transbay Tube this Sunday, July 19. The work will be for the entire day and will reduce our normal service from two tracks to one. Crews did similar work on two previous Sundays in April and June. Read the thread to see how this work will impact service 👇

Yo, we heard you like graphics explaining BART's schedule changes, improvements and efficiencies that will reduce delays and crowding. So we got one here showing how improved headways and even spacing for Berkeley, El Cerrito, and Richmond-bound riders will more evenly distribute riders!

July is Disability Pride Month, marking the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act! Accessibility is foundational to how the system is built, operated, and improved. BART continues to invest in the features, training, and partnerships that make the system usable for everyone. Thread👇

I am horrified by the brutal killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE earlier this week. Mr. Araujo had no convictions and had been living here for decades, working toward the American Dream. ICE has provided ZERO evidence and has lied to us again and again. We need answers.

🚨🚨 So ICE removed all Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's personal effects--wallet, phone, etc--after shooting him before they put him in an ambulance. Is that normal law enforcement practice? Or does it suggest a coverup or attempt to manage information was underway from the beginning?

Why does anyone support ICE? Abolish ICE is the only way to go. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

📢News: BART’s schedule will change on August 10, 2026, with longer trains and big improvements and efficiencies that will reduce delays and crowding! Longer trains will actually come to the Red, Yellow, Blue and Green lines during peak commute hours starting July 20! Thread 👇

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Deeply honored to join Sean Dugar and @victorfloresbart.bsky.social on an @ebyd.bsky.social alumni panel for a wide-ranging convo, from how our time there led to skill-building and lifelong friendships, to the importance of paying it forward and mentoring the next generation. Young gets it done! 💪

ICE is still kidnapping and killing people. 4 kidnapped today in Long Beach alone... And one killed in Houston...

If there was any doubt that Gov Jared Polis’ legacy is freeing Tina Peters, the NYT reports Polis just fired the clemency board members who revealed he overruled their unanimous wishes www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

absolutely vital to win the senate this november. need to basically blockade judicial confirmations for the next two years.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

Reminder: BART is offering fans returning from tonight's 9pm FIFA World Cup match special late-night service after midnight to get riders home. These special event trains will not stop at all BART stations! Check the thread⬇️

PDI has released election results maps for several California counties, including Alameda, Santa Clara, and San Francisco. You can switch between maps showing who won in each precinct, and also see gradient maps that show a candidate's support by percentage of the vote. politicaldata.vote/alameda

🚨El Cerrito is being forced to move to Council districts (vs current at large), and the process is moving quickly!🚨 I encourage all El Cerrito residents to weigh in on potential district lines, and NOW is the time, as Council will vote on maps on July 7. Lots more details in this thread...

A new @pewresearch.org study finds that infill housing near jobs, stores, and transit costs governments ~$21,000 less per home to serve, cuts long term infrastructure maintenance costs in half, and generates 13% more in annual property tax revenue per acre than sprawl.

For those following along at home, CARB’s vote today essentially guts the greenhouse gas reduction fund and eviscerates the state’s largest sources of funding for affordable housing and public transit. At a time when we should be doubling down on them, we’re pulling away.

Today CARB voted to defund vital Transit programs and helping corporations that are causing pollution pocket more money. What’s the point of CARB if they’re in the pockets of the industry? We should get rid of useless government agencies that waste taxpayer funding

I've been working hard in Washington over the past few weeks to fight back against the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress as they carry out an illegal war in Iran, disenfranchise Black voters, and strip resources from care workers.

Small businesses often operate with limited resources, making them especially vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. That is why I am proud to introduce the Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Evaluation Act.

In case you thought for a brief second that the people in charge of transportation were trying to fix anything. This should make it clear where their priorities are

If state power is derived from the consent of the people, then legislative action by ballot must supersede existing statute and legal precedent. I’m not a fan of governing by ballot measures but either power resides in the people or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, you don’t have a democracy

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

If you thought the Trump admin might want to put some distance between them and the subject of this NY Times profile...here he is with Vance in Hungary yesterday

Beautiful day to fill the 100,000th pothole of the year.

BART is looking for up to three, forward-thinking young adults, aged 18-25, to join our team for the "Grand Innovation Challenge" – a virtual, international competition hosted by the non-profit Introducing Youth to American Infrastructure (iyai+).

Fan support ads (aka birthday ads) are entirely fan-made, fan-organized, and fan-funded. This is the 1st time these types of ads have taken over a train station in the US, and we’re excited to help these efforts. Organize your own ad to celebrate favorite oshi, bias, or group at bart.gov/FanAds

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

This Admin. has been waging a war on trans people- denying medical care, peddling false narratives, scapegoating, and erasing history. Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, the Supreme Court assaulted LGBTQ+ rights again, handing down an 8-1 decision against a Colorado ban on conversion therapy.

BART MART 2 is happening!

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

LEE: I asked Chairman Comer, if Pam Bondi did not come, would he force her to or if he would move for contempt hearings as he did for other people who did not respond to our subpoena? Instead of answering as an adult, he said that I was “bitching”

Caltrans keeps telling El Cerrito they have no funds available to make safety improvements along San Pablo Avenue - a state highway - as part of a repaving project. Yet they still have no problem finding money to widen highways. California's transportation priorities are backwards and must change.

It is National Transit Employee Appreciation Day! To commemorate the day we are highlighting some of the best comments BART riders have sent us about our employees. Thread ⬇️

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

MORE 👏 HOUSING 👏 NEAR 👏 TRANSIT BART, the State of California, the City of El Cerrito, and development partner Related California have broken ground on 70 affordable apartments at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station, marking the start of the first phase of the Transit-Oriented Development

Yes we need to reform prop 13 not only because it helps reduce supply but waiting for inheritance transfers but it also reduces public funding which cities try to make up for through development fees which help increase the cost of housing. Prop 13 is simply bad legislation

BART Directors @victorfloresbart.bsky.social & Robert Raburn were also at Oakland Chinatown Lunar New Year, & the BARTmobile made an appearance! Following BART in the parade was East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation, a nonprofit that's building affordable housing at Lake Merritt station.
