Donald Trump and his lapdog Republicans just shut down the federal government after refusing to protect Americans from an imminent spike in health insurance costs. This is what the GOP stands for.

I’m voting for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social, the candidate who won’t illegally remove bus lanes funded by federal grants to pander to car dealerships. Harrell is *desperate* to please his donors in any way possible. This is one of the dumbest ways I’ve seen.

Numbers are in: more growth for ferry ridership. Preliminary data shows 17% year over year increase in September. Total ridership for the last 12 months: 2.9 million pax. Inching ever closer to that 3 million mark. The Bay Area is choosing safe, clean and reliable transit over freeway gridlock.

The interesting thing about this year is that the stuff the MAGA cult is saying has negatively impacted my life. I’ve experienced more discrimination than I have in my adult life. But at the same time, the most unexpected people will be so kind to me because I walked 11 miles???

Good morning and happy Wednesday from the bus 🚌✨

No better way to celebrate one year of Caltrain electrification and #TransitMonth than by riding with our Bay Area transit partners! 🚆💡 Last Friday, leaders kicked off a CEO Ride-Along in San Francisco, then traveled by Golden Gate Ferry, SMART, and Marin Transit.

“One year in, Caltrain’s electrified fleet is already bringing faster, cleaner public transportation for the millions of Northern California residents who depend on their service to get to work or school every day,” said Senator Alex Padilla (@padilla.senate.gov).

Caltrain is celebrating the first anniversary of its fully electrified service! This past year has brought record ridership, cleaner air for our communities, and faster, more frequent service for riders throughout the Peninsula. ✨🚆 Read more about the year: www.caltrain.com/news/caltrai...

One year ago today, California realized the first part of its' HSR dream. Purpose-built trains that increased the freedom of everyone on the corridor. At @monicamallon.bsky.social's invitation, I boarded the very first electric train in service at 06:57. It was one of the best days of my life.

One year of electrified @caltrain.com service 🚂⚡️ It’s pretty incredible what can happen when leaders believe in an idea and never give up ❤️

🥹 Electric Caltrain is the best 🫶

Happy Caltrain electrification anniversary eve to all who celebrate 🚂⚡️🎄

One year ago today, @kingcountymetro.bsky.social’s most morally critical new bus route opened, #RapidRideG. An articulated, hybrid electric elevator that lifts you up the steepest hills in the city with but a gentle whir, whether or not you can walk. Happy birthday, G Line!

They're the best 😎

There is absolutely no indication the shooter, who isn't even in custody or identified yet, was somebody with a coherent political motive recognizable as being on the left. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Either way it is overwhelmingly likely the shooter acted alone.

California’s public universities are the best in the nation and a pipeline for research, talent, and tech that fuels the global economy.

31 lasers for the 31st state. Happy birthday, California.

Eyes wide. Jaw dropped. An EMU *and* $1 fares. Youth ages 18 and under can now ride Caltrain for just $1 - all zones, all the time. ✨ Learn more: www.caltrain.com/dollarfares

It’s been quite a day to say the least, but I really appreciate all of the support 🫶

I got a few questions about this, so I just wanted to say that my posts are monitored by elected officials, their staff, and transit agencies. I’m sure they’ve seen the posts, but stalking and harassment is so common in politics that they don’t really care less physical violence is threatened.

I also hope this provides some insight into why I haven’t shared where I worked in recent years. I’m not secretly working for a PR firm that works with Bay Area transit agencies or getting paid by transit agencies. I’m just trying not to get stalked at work

Bay Area transit advocates, beware. This TERF is in a lot of LGBTQ-dense communities and has been stalking and harassing Monica. Her behavior is unacceptable, and the underlying transphobia is disgusting. I hope she sorts out whatever it is in her life that’s wrong. Until then - stay well away.

Like many creators, I’ve dealt with stalking that has threatened my well-being over the years. This instance was the most insidious, so I’m now pursuing a restraining order. Stalking is never okay. Don’t be afraid to take legal action to protect yourself.

When California supports Caltrain, California wins.

I never thought I would grow up and pursue law and get asked “why do you care about law?” all the time. Like I wouldn’t be talking to a lot of these people if laws didn’t change in my favor. I didn’t always just get to live and be a person and I’ll never take it for granted.

What a beautiful promotion of transit 🥹
