THREAD. I am so glad to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the publication of Copaganda. It's more relevant than ever. We must understand how people are brought along to support the most monstrous and repressive institutions. (And we should have some fun and make some jokes while doing it!)
Look to the BART tracks! You might spot something never seen before in the Bay Area: a bright blue train car covered in dancing BARTy mascots.
But beyond its playful appearance, the train is part of an ongoing effort to explore new and creative revenue opportunities for BART!
Never doubt the power of skillfully complaining. It can change the world.
This was the highlight of the night
OK Metro Transit in Oklahoma got the worm tho?!
It's World Public Transport Day and we're celebrating the journeys that move us and the people who make them possible. Public transport connects us all: to work, to life, and to each other!
Thank you RTD for creating this video and including AC Transit!

Happy World Public Transport Day! Public transit connects us all – to work, life, and each other. We are proud to serve the communities of eastern Contra Costa County. If there's somewhere you're headed, let us help you get there. #WorldPublicTransportDay
I’ll make this VERY clear — if you don’t understand very well critical truths like #InducedDemand (aka the Irrefutable Law of Congestion) and its twin truth #JevonsParadox, you are not qualified to make transportation-related decisions affecting cities.
And your profession will make cities worse.
I am so tired of being deluged with the sordid details of sexual crimes. It feels nonstop since 2014. Yes absolutely those stories should be told. I get that this is how justice begins: with victims having voices, stories being heard, and so forth; I've been supporting that forever.

first executive order will be to move the state capitol from the wicked, infernal den known as Sacramento to the beautiful fair city of Oakland
HAPPENING RIGHT MEOW! 🐱
One of the things that is so positive about the transformation of Paris is it was FAST. Converting a choked polluted city into a space for humans to thrive, move, and enjoy can be done within a decade. It’s within reach today: we just have to elect leaders that care about people more than cars.

We can do do things differently, we just have to want to.
Trend in average number of cars per household. City of Paris shown in light blue; Paris metropolis overall in middle blue; Paris metropolis outside of Paris in dark blue.
Trend in gas sales in Paris and the near suburbs, in thousands of tons.
Gas stations in Paris metropolis. Light blue dots show stations that were open in 2024. Dark blue dots show stations that closed between 2019 and 2024.

The world can be a better place. It'll take a lot of work for us to make it happen, but it's work we can do.

Only nine years ago, #VictoriaBC Canada opened our first protected bike and roll lane (in photo). The City has been transformed in less than a decade, and new crosswalks and bike lanes are under construction in my neighborhood now. Choices, not excuses! #yyj
pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants

Did you know the BART is running out of funding? Grateful we could spend the weekend supporting a ballot initiative to fund it — and for our 6-year-old’s talent making the poster on the left
Universal design, free transit, tax fossil fuels, repeal prop 13. YA FEEL ME?

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy
corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor
that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft
HIGHER!!!
I wonder what the Sand Hill one is at these days
