I didn't know it was possible for an agency to shoot itself in the foot like this, but it happened. My local agency, The WTA, has told the local universities, which make up half of its ridership, that it does not intend to continue giving free rides to their students, faculty, and staff. (1/3)

I have only a few words for the government of california in this time, cut. Off. Federal. Funding. California makes up tons of federal funds and if they stop paying, there’s no money to make up for it

If Trump starts withholding federal funds from states like california, i hope they stop sending funds to the federal government

Given Elon Musk’s Hitler salute today, two things are painfully obvious
A. We are no longer a democracy
B. The revolution is inevitable

insanely funny to have the likely future Prime Minister of Canada just take my chart and intentionally crop out the watermark where I say I made it lmao

Pierre Poilivere likes to say he’s gonna be tough on Trump yet listens to Musk who loves Trump’s 51st state invasion. If you’re canadian run from that man like he’s the plague

Feels nice to be back in the pnw taking cascades again

I hope everyone who believed Trump’s “Harris is gonna start a world war” lie feels super dumb, already ramping up to invade our greatest allies and he’s not even inaugurated yet

What the actual fuck is reality, rfk jr trying to get the polio vaccine approval revoked and now mcconnell is saying he won’t confirm if this continues, someone get popcorn

Today’s vote on the NDAA just cements the fact that the dems never learn anything, we need to completely gut the system, we’re heading 1780’s France fucking quckly

I wish I could have the same bravery as some of these New Jerseyans, the ability to want something so badly but not want to pay for it is astonishing, complaining the njtransit trains are delayed but not wanting to pay for penn station capacity improvements

People continue to amaze me, people are complaining that West Seattle Link costs too much but that they’re not getting paid enough for their property (never mind the fact that relocation offers are often generous)

Another thing I love about WTA is that they have usually 2 or 3 buses on standby at Bellingham station so if a bus needs to be taken out for whatever reason it has minimal disruption

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Jarvis: His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist, and now the fascist is in charge and it is journalism's job to cover it that way, not to back off and say okay, well that's it, we lost. Let the fascism happen. No

Covid and flu shots kicking my ass today, I’ve done nothing but bed-rot today. Please do and get yours especially before RFK does his shit, it makes immunocompromised people like me safer (especially for those less fortunate than me who can’t get the vaccine)

I think the WTA exemplifies how easy and natural it is to build transit if you structure your cities right, buses come through the WWU campus usually every 5-10 minutes during the day and they still manage to be standing room only a lot due to just how useful it is
