BART Director District 7 🚈🚴🏽♂️🚌🌳 *Thoughts & opinions are my own.
If only there was some sort of policy that transit agencies could implement to help increase & diversity their revenue rather than be dependent on fares or tax $. Idk maybe something that combined rail and property?

“When the men did not believe Miles’ tribal ID, she pointed to a phone number for the Umatilla Tribal enrollment office on the back of the card. “Call it,” she said. When they didn’t, she took out her phone to call the office herself, but the agents tried unsuccessfully to take her phone...”

‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

I started taking out Cities Skylines 2 out for a spin now that they have bikes and apparently scooters. I wish they could ride on pedestrian paths like roads but so far it’s a nice addition

Imagine local control in CA unburdened by Prop 13 so counties and cities could actually fund their services without having to put sales or parcel taxes on the ballot every year to stay above water. Then we could see cities actually experiment with policies

Spent part of the weekend in Buena Park to attend a funeral. Hated the land use but I liked The Source shopping mall. I wish northern Alameda County had something like that. Also saw the city’s pop and its budget is slightly bigger than Alameda. Thought its budget would be larger

I’ve started looking into city charters bc of the two reforms happening here (SF & Oak) and I’m starting to believe that part of CA’s failures comes from allowing too many communities to become incorporated cities. Thoughts: 1. They should only be allowed to incorporate if they are economic centers

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

Remember when Republicans and corporate media lost their minds over Charlie Kirk's murder, which was allegedly done by Tyler Robinson, and somehow blamed "the left" for their rhetoric? But Trump outright saying Democrats should be executed is fine. Cool.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

On Monday evening a driver hit a person cycling across Central on the Ohlone Greenway, despite the automatic flashing lights when someone crosses. People walking and biking use this crossing a lot, as it connects to El Cerrito Plaza BART station. We must slow car traffic to protect lives.

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

If NYC elects Mamdani, they will soon have a homicide rate equivalent to Nicaragua. Their life expectancy will fall to seven years below the national average and their GDP will shrink to that of Philadelphia's metro despite having more people. Whoops, that's actually just the GOP run state of TN.

The irony is that Prop 13 is an obstacle to solving the housing shortage, so it's indirectly raising your property taxes if you bought a home in California in the 21st century.

I dont think enough Americans realize Republicans are gearing up for permanent rule. I dont know if we will get to midterm elections. Even if we do, with gerrymandering, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and violent intimidation, they'll rig the elections for minority rule. All hands on deck.
