This could also reasonably be made into a water bottle filler!

I've taken my grandma to her medical appointments on the G Line. Important context: She's from Alaska, and had to fly >1000 miles to get to them! Frequent, accessible transit from the airport to the First Hill medical complex is the physical manifestation of fighting for somebody you don't know.

Ridership on the RapidRide G Line continues to climb, with weekdays in May seeing more than 6,000 daily riders for the first time. May ridership was up 46% over the G Line's first full month of October. Fast frequent and reliable service draws riders, go figure.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Shutting down transit service just because a neighborhood has had protests is a literal tactic of martial law. If you do this as a mayor, you’re complicit in what the invading force is trying to achieve.

Now that's a trip!

Hearing from so many people, including people with their kids, who didn't feel safe after LAPD/LASD started attacking peaceful protesters — and then were unable to get home. If you took transit to DTLA and got stranded I'd love to hear from you

Interesting choice of music by the US Army for Trump's birthday military parade.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

ALERT: CRG and protest task forces are mobilizing and staging on 3rd. Preparing to respond to autonomous demos near the federal building If you’re in the area be careful

Visible dissent is essential to resisting creeping fascism. Not because it magically stops the fascists but because it breaks the suffocating illusion of complicity and consent. This matters and has been often discussed by scholars of Nazi Germany and fascism generally.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

They couldn’t even pay a crowd to come out for this guy 🤣😂🤣 Teeny tiny little crowdsize!👌

Had the pleasure of supporting our @kingcountymetro.bsky.social operators today during today’s peaceful protest! Supervisors and operators worked extra hard to manage the diversions! This bus got stuck, so I led it out to continue its route! 🚲 ⬅️ 🚌💨 #MovingForwardTogether

Happy No Kings Day Eve to all who celebrate 🎄✨

Big development in the NYC mayoral race: Lander and Mamdani have 'cross-endorsed' each other, meaning that they've invited their own supporters to rank the other. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/n...

hell yeah, more of this please

Reminder that you DO NOT have to go through with orders that you KNOW are wrong.

an alcoholic rapist Fox News host is the head of the entire DoD. a man who reneged on contracts, lied his entire life, discriminated constantly, and did sexual assault is the president. a groyper tradcath poseur neo-nazi is the vice president.

Hey folks, a lot of us have met in the last few hours, both IRL and online! I’m a transport logistics guy that spends hours every day thinking about different parts of the sector! I pay my bills by making an airline more reliable, but you’ll find me talking more about transit far more often here!

Veterans are staging a sit-in on the US Capitol steps right now and chanting, “Military off our streets!” They are heroes!🫡 And then….🤨🤬

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

Not for nothing, the two in the grey are looking increasingly like the originals in their Hugo Boss uniforms... Right down to the "haha! you're fucked!" smirks.

Trump deploying the Marines was meant to condition people into becoming accustomed to their presence. That troops are being deployed on US soil at all is dangerous. Now that they're detaining people, they'll feel they have license to go even further. The pushback to this needs to be monstrous.
