Participated yesterday in the first meeting of the @wmata Riders’ Advisory Council since being appointed to an at-large seat. I am excited to work with the WMATA board, staff, & fellow riders to ensure that our region maintains a high quality of public transit! 🚌🚇

[Metro Forward @wmata]

We’re excited to announce that Arlington Transit (@ART_Alert) now accepts Metro Lift reduced-fare benefits on all Arlington Transit bus routes. 🚍 Eligible customers now receive 50% off fares on Metro Rail, Metro Bus, and ART.

This reflects a key step forward in the DMV Moves vision for a unified payment structure for transit throughout the region! @MW_COG

She's not Rosa Parks, she's not Ruby Bridges.
She's Bernita Bowlding, a mentally challenged woman who went missing for 5 days after infamous Orange Line ride.

Truth is always more complicated than our online images.

This @esilverman11 piece is haunting.

what’s up with the California flag being upside down outside Union Station today? distress signal?

[Eli Craveiro Frankel @elicrafra5]

went to my first @WashSpirit game and had a great time! ⚽️loved the metro motif in the video intros, 🚇 just wished they used actual @wmata footage instead of nyc subway in the transitions!

@wmataGM Respectfully, NG deploy is a driver of division w/goal to intimidate our city. Respect for uniform aside your post as GM reads as approval of presence. Most dont see them as helpful (per RAC survey) Pushback isnt bc division its local frustration of this policy against our wishes

[Daniel 🧮 @dunisayno]

washingtonians pushing back against the normalization of a military occupation of their city is not “the worst in people and society” — it’s a reasonable and justifiable position

we should all be mad that the national guard is being used as political props by the president!

Here is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues in full:

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

Here’s the entire 60 Minutes CECOT segment that Bari Weiss killed at the last minute 2 days before CBS broadcast the Trump-Kennedy Center Honors.

Kinda makes ya wonder, huh? 🤔

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: CBS is now filing copyright takedowns to scrub copies of the banned 60 Minutes CECOT segment.

They didn’t just pull the story.
They’re trying to erase it.

That tells you everything.
