People are making their way to Wilma Chan Park early on Bart ahead of today’s No Kings Day protest and march to Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland @sfchronicle.com

Update: We now have systemwide restoration of service. These is our first passenger train on Yellow line.

Service is back systemwide! I’ll have more to say later on what happened here. I’m grateful to BART staff for their quick work, and all our partner agencies for mutual aid.

Limited East Bay service resuming at 9:30am: • Yellow line from Antioch to MacArthur • Blue line from Dublin to MacArthur • Orange line from Richmond to Berryessa No ETA yet for SF/West Bay service

We have swapped our larger ferries into service where possible. Take the ferry from Vallejo, Oakland, Richmond or Alameda or take @rideact.bsky.social transbay buses. Our schedules are here: sanfranciscobayferry.com/routes-sched.... You can use Clipper, the SF Bay Ferry app or pay on the boat.

BART is down systemwide. While it is, here’s a tool for finding alternative options for your trip. And there is no real alternative to the role BART plays in our region. You should always be able to count on BART, and I’m sorry that today you can’t. I’ll share more information when I have it.

Know this rhetoric is a daily occurrence now but christ “incompatible migrants” is phrasing indistinguishable from the most vile neo-nazi screeds & is the type of dehumanizing language that can & will lead to the unthinkable

If Democrats won't act like an opposition party, we will.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

At today's BART board meeting, @edwardwright.bsky.social called on staff to augment the surge of police officers at the 16th St Mission BART plazas by also sending BART's ambassadors and crisis intervention specialists. Video from Edward's Instagram

Let’s be clear about the impact of this DOT memo: Pedestrians and cyclists are going to die. usa.streetsblog.org/2025/03/12/b...

For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes. Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.

They used “free speech” to hide their intentions to destroy speech. They used “DEI” to claim they were being discriminated against in order to discriminate against Black people. They used “groomers” to claim trans people were targeting children so they could target trans people *and* children.

Last year, Republicans silenced her. This year, many stood beside her and defeated four anti-trans bills. This is the power of standing up for your beliefs and for what's right, and good trouble. National Democrats, take notice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

well this made me cry over breakfast. to any democrats holding even a shred of power right now: look at what’s possible from people far more endangered and vulnerable than you and grow a spine, you fucking cowards www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-s...

What’s “deeply unfair” is the shameless backpedaling on trans rights and the villainizing and scapegoating of a community that simply wants to exist. Trans rights now, trans rights forever, fuck that noise.

While Trump and Musk cut our healthcare, social security, and veteran's benefits — We fight. We're hosting our annual response to the president's joint address to Congress. Given by Congresswoman Lateefah Simon and co-streamed by @underthedesknews.bsky.social Sign up: wfpus.org/WFPSOTU

There is a station closure at Civic Center due to a major medical emergency. MUNI is offering train service in downtown San Francisco between Embarcadero and Civic Center. There is a major delay from downtown San Francisco toward all destinations.

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

We’ve got a new Mayor, Supervisor, and BART Director (👋) for the Mission. And we need a new plan to make sure our Mission plazas are vibrant, welcoming, clean, and safe.

NO KINGS, ONLY TRAINS is a pretty great 2028 slogan for anyone who wants it

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

For highway projects, states only pay 20% and federal government pays the rest, but for California High Speed Rail the ratio is flipped around - 80% comes from state government.

Please let this be a renaissance for passenger rail

The SFMTA is a huge, complex agency facing serious crises. Leading it is an impossible job no one is more prepared to do than Julie Kirschbaum. Muni is faster and more reliable than it’s been in decades, with the highest rider approval ever recorded. It wouldn’t be without Julie.

Thank you for riding BART!

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

BART has now installed new fare gates at all four of its Downtown San Francisco stations!  Embarcadero is the 18th station to get the new gates. All 50 stations will get them by the end of 2025. Thread👇

We’re making sure legislators know: 🚆 BART is getting safer, cleaner, and more reliable 🏡 We’re the backbone of Bay Area transportation, and vital to economic recovery, housing, and climate action 💰 We need help modernizing our funding model ✨ Transit is a great investment!

This is an overwhelming time. As @aoc.bsky.social says, we need to self-regulate first — overwhelm, panic, and apathy is what the fascists want you to feel. Maybe it sounds trite, but building community is a great way to stay grounded. And BART knows a thing or two about making connections 🤝

Attention Bay Area office workers! BART staff is available to come to your building and present about all the ways BART is improving service and safety. We will take your questions and share insider tips. It can be a brown bag lunch, an all-hands meeting, or any format.

What are we doing here.

Do you want to improve bicycle access to and from stations and onboard trains? The BART Bicycle Advisory Task Force has vacancies for people who live or work in all five counties served by BART! Attend the next meeting this Monday, February 3 and learn how to apply: www.bart.gov/about/bod/ad...

BART is participating in the Autism Transit Project and we are looking for youth on the spectrum who love BART and would like to come to our headquarters on Friday March 21 for a fun event and to record special Autism Acceptance Month station announcements. DM us if interested.

Just renewed my drivers license for RealID. I advise every transgender person, just as I did with passports, to not wait to renew your ID. Get that done now - many states let you do it online, schedule appointments, etc. Don't get caught flat footed if/when Trump turns RealID against us.

Happy birthday, Angela Davis. Today and every day, you remind us — “You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.”

As the federal government abandons climate action, state and local leaders have a moral responsibility to lead. Fires, storms, and floods do not care about borders or districts or county lines. The climate crisis is all of our jurisdiction.

To every Tesla owner with buyer’s remorse: you already have other options for an all-electric ride you don’t have to drive — try a train, trolleybus, or cable car!

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

✨ Bikes + BART ✨ Come, help us make multimodal dreams come true!

🚨What the … BART train screens just got a sick little update?!⬇️ The Passenger Information System on BART’s train cars is being updated to show major transit transfer connections at stations as part of a larger effort to make it easier for riders to navigate the Bay Area’s transit systems.

Don’t let anyone convince you that change isn’t possible.

SFMTA isn't posting to bsky yet, so just a heads up that next week is January FixIt week. "Early subway closure b/w Embarcadero & West Portal each night beginning at 9:30 p.m. from Mon., 1/13 - Fri., 1/17."

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target. It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade. We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad. The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

Like smoking a cigarette, driving a giant SUV/pickup endangers anyone nearby. The narrative power of secondhand smoke galvanized the anti-tobacco movement in the 1980s – and it could do the same for car bloat today. My deep dive, in Vox 🧵 www.vox.com/future-perfe...

California has billions of federal dollars for transportation that it could flex to fund transit improvements rather than freeway expansions. Want more bus, rail, or ferry service in your community? Send a letter to the Governor here actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...

Reminder: Muni is free from midnight to 5am tonight — don’t tap, just get on. BART is running extended service at 1am. There is no excuse for drinking and driving. And happy New Year!

US failures around road safety should be a national embarrassment. This deep dive is a couple years old, but its main thesis remains true: America’s sky-high death toll is due to policy choices – not “national character.” www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
