Shout out to @SeattleMonorail for helping to honor @KingCountyMetro operator Shawn Yim today. The Blue train was parked on the guideway over our procession route and the horn was honked as we passed underneath. A gesture that was noticed by our coach full of transit operators.

@colinokeefe For the record Katie isn't just some writer, but one of the most active leftist organizers in the city and has years of work under her belt.

@anypigslft2 @KingCountyMetro @wsdot_traffic @seattledot @TheORCACard @MyCommTrans @PierceTransit @SoundTransit Um, one of our coworkers (who I knew) was brutally murdered on the job. I don't know how wanting a public memorial is "virtue signalling".

@anypigslft2 @KingCountyMetro @wsdot_traffic @seattledot @TheORCACard @MyCommTrans @PierceTransit @SoundTransit Who are these mythical "backup" drivers who also wouldn't want to attend the memorial for their fallen coworker?

@AmorphouslyNot @KingCountyMetro @wsdot_traffic @seattledot @TheORCACard @MyCommTrans @PierceTransit @SoundTransit We are not getting paid for this. We are being excused from our work without pay.

@centsandthecity @StatisticUrban There was a major damaging hurricane that hit NYC just a few years ago

@who_shot_jgr I always assumed they were inspiration for the Dukes

@Spoolses @Jessecooksfood Those are two related, but mutually exclusive sentiments.

[Chris Mobley @chrislmobley]

@Spoolses @Jessecooksfood You're all taking this incredibly literally. Read what I wrote. I said the driver should have just opened the door. I also said that it's really annoying when people don't ring the bell and yell "backdoor" at us.

[Chris Mobley @chrislmobley]

@Jessecooksfood Bus drivers aren't mind readers and it's a challenging and stressful job enough without having to do guesswork of what riders are doing.

[Chris Mobley @chrislmobley]

@Jessecooksfood There are lots of reasons why we don't always open the back door. If I see one person waiting at a stop where my front door is gonna line up and no one has rung the bell, I wouldn't automatically open the back doors either. The bell is there for a reason.

@MinusPeach 65th St. It's amazing how much different the city is north of 65th.

[Chris Mobley @chrislmobley]

@oowm @KingCountyMetro I'd guess 16th and Pine since that's a new section of wire work now that the 12 turns down Pine St. The Pine St. wire only goes to 15th currently I believe.

@nick_field90 You live in a democracy where people are free to run for office and vote for who they want. Perhaps your candidate should have done a better job winning those votes. Nearly every other democracy is a multi party system where this whining would be ridiculed.

@katewillett I think there's a way to link the issues in a skilled way. Abortion is as much an economic issue for women and families as a "cultural" one. LGBT rights (not cultural acceptance) is about preventing economic and social discrimination.

Today sucks and it's important to mourn. But tomorrow we need to organize. Don't be a Denethor. Be a Gandalf!

@Blake_Allen13 @truthjusticehph Yet left wing policies won at the ballot box and outperformed Dem candidates.... Doesn't seem bunk to me.

@Rororowyaboatz @flySEA I've seen the shoulders crammed with people while the cell phone lot was 2/3rds empty. People are just being lazy.
