Metro Transit generally needs to celebrate itself more. They run an anomalously successful light rail system, a nation-leading BRT program, a high-quality bus system, and have an ambitious capital plan. Does the average Twin Cities resident know about any of these? Probably not!

100 years ago the Twin Cities were among the top railway centers in the US. Today the only passenger stations are NorthStar commuter in Minneapolis and @Amtrak at St Paul @UnionDepot. Let's visit all the lost train stations, starting with downtown Minneapolis. There were many! 🧵

Y’all better listen to this icon’s stories. Some of you want to engage in a nostalgia that erases the horrors and degradation of American apartheid in order to tell a feel-good story of progress. Reggie Jackson refused to allow it. We cannot move on as so many want until we tell the truth and until we make repair.

In less than 24 hours the Stone Arch Bridge will close for 2 years of restoration. Among the greatest engineering achievements of the 19th century, the story of how it came to be is as big as the structure itself. A SAB #history mega thread! 🧵

Folks with disabilities can't receive quality healthcare when medical facilities lack accessible equipment like examination tables & weight scales.

I'm urging @TheJusticeDept to address this injustice and help the disability community access the quality care they need & deserve.

Reminder this Valentine’s Day many people with disabilities cannot get married because they risk losing their SSI benefits.
