@CameronCorduroy @IDoTheThinking Democratic leaders are coming out staunchly against Trump’s attack on Iran, then?

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@YawBoaduBenjam2 @IDoTheThinking Okay, but Clinton and LBJ still did those things because that was THEIR policy decision!

Biden’s refusal to negotiate with Iran was because he didn’t want to! He and Trump are aligned on this issue. That’s my whole point.

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@SafetyinNumbrz @YawBoaduBenjam2 @IDoTheThinking Not what I’m doing. My POV is that democratic establishment is aligned with Trumps Iran policy. How many Dem leaders are speaking out against it right now? Schumer, Jeffries, Biden, Obama, Pelosi? Crickets.

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@YawBoaduBenjam2 @IDoTheThinking Okay it was a little over two years between implementation and US withdrawal. Your argument is that Democratic foreign policy must be held hostage based on what hypothetical future presidents will decide? Why did Biden bother doing anything? Trump has reversed so much of it.

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@YawBoaduBenjam2 @IDoTheThinking If Biden had reentered the JCPOA immediately, it would have been in place now for four years and have had demonstrated its effectiveness. Harder to rip up at that point (like ACA). Only implemented for 1 yr before Trump 1.0 inaugurated.

@TELOtrucks Doesn’t this type of advertising contradict the pedestrian safety benefits of this vehicle that you tout?

There’s really no need to accelerate that fast, especially in an urban environment that Telo is optimizing for.

@taaltree I think 9/11 and Islamophobia were big factors too.

It was an illegal invasion based on lies that received popular support. I just don’t give the American public that much credit. Already 26% support annexing Greenland and there’s hardly been a propaganda effort yet.

@ajlamesa @musharbash_b Choosing the east side of the valley rather than the west is far from the primary reason the project is so far behind.

Connecting 4 growing metro areas that are perfectly lined up just slightly off from the SF-LA axis isn’t particularly insane.

@KarthikForTexas @EliseJoshi Indiscriminate bombing campaigns that kill 100,000s of civilians are in fact Bad.

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@RideSacRT So all that time and money for the design and construction and we just went from 2 trains per hour to 3? Hope this is temporary cause this is definitely not what the project promised.

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@Eli_B_Cook But also subsidizes transit improvements and improves emergency response times.

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@IDoTheThinking Would be nice if they abandoned norms and decorum to push legislation through (e.g. overrule parliamentarian, ditch filibuster) rather than familial self dealing.

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@IDoTheThinking Given Russia is likely to hold on to a substantial amount of Ukr territory, an appeasement route with a similar territorial outcome but 100,000s of fewer casualties is preferable

[Ian Souza-Cole @Traval]

@SamRice916 I took the train from Sac to Davis Friday night just for the hell of it. So pleasant, downtown to downtown.

But at $9 one way and sub hourly frequencies, it’s not close to a viable regional rail service. Electrify and expand service!

@ESGhound lol he deleted it

@pkedrosky Rather than fully rerouting the river, they should have constructed a bypass to handle excess flows (as was done in the Sacramento Valley a century ago). Wonder why they didn’t opt for that.
