@wmata Huh? Who said 👍🏻👌🏻🤌🏻? Signage has to convey info, not just look nice. These do neither. Looks like the GR/YL lines will both go to Huntington/Branch Ave. Some current signs highlight DCA and IAD in blue/yellow or silver boxes. Why take away that information? These are crazy bad.

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

@wmata .@wmata SB D96 isn’t doing this. It’s taking Calvert to Wisconsin and then down to P St. Waiting at 35/Whitehaven Pkwy and I saw the bus pass Tunlaw in the app. Ran to 35/T St thinking it would come south on 35, but it’s just going down Wisconsin. Multiple pax skipped…

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

.@wmata Are D96 buses still coming through? This is Benton St NW at 39th St NW at 2pm 9/4/26

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

.@wmata re D96: Glover Park construction is tearing up the intersection of Tunlaw St NW and Benton St NW. And 39th St NW btw Davis Pl NW and Calvert St NW is closed again. DM’d details. Thanks. 🙏🏻

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

.@wmata re: D96 southbound - 39th St NW is closed between Davis Pl NW and Calvert St NW. No sign at that stop. No detour info on website or MetroPulse. Will the bus come down Tunlaw? Wisconsin Ave? What stops are affected? Where should we wait? Is this just for today?

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

Banks pay you 0.4% interest on your deposits, then take your money & put it at the Fed, which pays them 5% interest on your money.

Federal law bars you from cutting out the middleman & depositing your money at the Fed to get the 5% rate the Fed pays banks.

This is oligarchy.

Can't stop staring at the stuffed animals next to the blood-soaked airbag in the car of the innocent woman that ICE murdered today.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

This is Minneapolis' initial response to the ICE murder. Fuck ICE.

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

.@wmata FYI, train 319 (currently YL arriving at Mt Vernon Square) has two cars with nearly all the lights out. End pair 3158/3159.

That’s not… democracy?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on this hellsite, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

.@wmata 2/2 - it’d be helpful to see that info reflected in the apps. Idk how you can send a person to put up a sign but can’t upload an alert, add a ❗️icon, or a link showing the detour route, or maybe even suggest the nearest active stop on the route. ☮️ and ❤️ but c’mon now…

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

.@wmata 1/2 - w/peace n luv, why are you keeping C85/D96 detours a secret? Got to the T/37th stop and saw a “closed all hours for road work” sign. Nothing in buseta, MetroPulse, or the /alerts webpage like the sign says. Too late to go to S/35th. Bus passes “ON DETOUR”…

[Matt Lech @MattLech]

Fuck Israel hope it dies

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

.@wmata FYI re: D2 bus in Glover Park. 41st is closed for construction between Calvert & Davis. Bus turning back toward Dupont at Calvert/41st stop, skipping 4 stops at the back of GP. Those folks may have no idea bc I don’t see service info on the website.

Happy January 6 to @MarkwayneMullin

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

this is what celebrating a murderer actually looks like

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

The fact that "medical debt" is a phrase that can be uttered and understood in a society as wealthy as ours should make every American sick to their stomach.

[ally @missmayn]

wait, so “delay, deny, depose” is a criminal threat if a civilian says it to a corporation but if a corporation uses it as an actual policy that kills people then it’s fine?

[Scott Bennett @RoughProphet]

👋🏻 @dcdmv Sold my car but can’t cancel the reg. on the web or in app. Site links lead to server timeouts and the app perpetually loads when I submit requests. Pretty sure not my error since I’ve tried multiple devices/networks. Help me “skip the trip” pls.🤞🏻Been trying a week😔
