Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

Only hardcore train nerds will know what this locomotive has to do with Groundhog Day

Granville T Woods, Born in 1856, held over 60 patents and was known for the invention of the synchronous multiplex railway telegraph which greatly increased #railsafety by helping trains and stations communicate. #BlackHistoryMonth

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

Happy Black History Month!

I don't post about Thomas much, but man, all hope for another renaissance with the upcoming new series just vanished. I know at my age I shouldn't complain about a kids show, but goddamn, how fucking hard is it to at least make it look good?

This day calls on us to do more than reflect; it calls on us to act — to confront antisemitism wherever it exists and to reject all forms of hatred and dehumanization. May the memories of all those lost be a blessing — one that guides us as we build a world where every life is sacred.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the six million Jewish lives — and the millions of others — senselessly murdered by the Nazi regime. We remember not only the unimaginable loss, but the warning history leaves us.

When we talk about people murdered by ICE, we shouldn't forget Keith Porter, a black man who was shot by ICE on new years eve

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Happy MLK Day Always remember the dream. 🖤 #mlk #martinlutherkingjr #erma

“They will hold this torch high without faltering because they have weathered the battering storms of persecution and withstood the temptation to retreat to a more quiet and serene life.”     These words continue to inspire and guide us, on MLK day and every day that follows.

In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited New York City on his way home from accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. Speaking to a packed crowd at City Hall, Dr. King said,    "Those who have sat so long in darkness now find themselves lighting the way for others...”

As we honor Dr Martin Luther King today, take a moment to reflect on his message of peace, kindness and that we are all equal.

If you’re still using Twitter for whatever reason, I just have one singular question for you… WHYYYYY??????

Here is all the steam locomotives I saw in operation in 2025. While it’s not as many as I would’ve liked to have seen, these 6 definitely helped make 2025 more enjoyable. (1/2) #trains #ttte #photography
