When they tell you "Not ONE foot of track has been laid on California High-speed Rail!"
Tell them to bite me.
We built this embankment and many bridges along the way.
I personally saw this picture get taken today.

Unfortunately, due to opposition from utilities, the scope of the bill has been narrowed to the High Speed Rail Authority, but the bill is still an important step to resolving the issue of utility relocation delays that plague this critical project to this day. #BuildHSR #SB445

Jet fumes over East Oakland but not Alameda? Groups say new OAK deal reinforces historic inequities Two groups suing the airport to stop its expansion say a settlement agreement it reached with the city of Alameda and a resident group will harm East Oaklanders.

We can expand airports and continue to add traffic and pollution to already burdened communities, or we can invest in high speed and regional rail and avoid all of that. Almost 2/3 of flights from OAK serve Las Vegas or Southern California. #BuildHSR oaklandside.org/2025/04/04/o...

Duffy: “The project is not going to happen. There is no timeline in which we are going to have high speed rail that goes from LA to San Francisco.”
This may be Duffy’s hope, but it is not a fact. We can and will #BuildHSR if our leaders commit.

LA Electric Rail supporters: show up to LAUS tomorrow at 9 with pro-CA High Speed Rail signs. We will not allow Trump and Musk to kill high speed rail! CA politicians must stand strong and finish the project. #BuildHSR #IWillRide
