Our riders put the ART in BART. We love seeing riders' interpretations of maps, train carts, stations, etc. This piece was created by @mousefists on Instagram "sometimes BART is a magical place" 🪄

I managed to cure myself of a social media addiction by getting way into discord based massively multiplayer play by post tabletop RPGs but now I feel like I should have actually spent the last 5 days doomscrolling in preparation for whatever happens tomorrow

This "well if I stop driving that doesn't solve climate change" attitude is so frustrating to me, like, I don't avoid throwing my trash on the ground because I think I will singlehandedly keep all of the plastic out of the ocean, I avoid it because I DONT WANT TO PUT MY FUCKING PLASTIC IN THE OCEAN

As we, um, enjoy the presence of Dreamforce in downtown SF I find myself thinking about Marc Benioff's idea of "Dreamforce but for guys with guns and ski masks who like kidnapping children"

Since the Alien Registration Act of 1940, every noncitizen has been required to carry their documents with them at ALL times. That applies to every green card holder, every tourist, every foreign student, etc...
No admin in the modern era has EVER tried to enforce this law.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.
NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

This has always been *possible*, but this law has never been enforced (there's also room for enforcement of this law to get a lot worse)

We need to stop pairing unrelated infrastructure upgrades with transit projects because everyone blames the transit project for construction even though 90% of the work is for a sewer replacement and then it makes future transit projects harder share.google/dr9blW4oQuZ3...
After controversial Muni upgrade, bus crashes have dropped significantly

This is why the work of community watch groups is so important. It's not just capturing the faces of ICE agents, but also their vehicles. In Massachusetts we are already seeing them adapt and change their tactics in response to the work of community groups.
One of the things that I think the internal politics of ICE/CBP is probably grappling with and didn't quite get when all this kicked off is that the fact that the surveillance state could be turned back on the secret police in a way that makes it very hard for anything they do to be ignored.

From what I've heard, people protesting outside the immigration court have basically entirely stopped abductions from that court for basically that reason - a constant presence makes it impossible to disappear people and hard for specific members of ICE to hide their crimes

re: ICE, until pretty recently, all of its responsibilities either fell under customs and border patrol or under immigration services. ICE as an organization dates back to just after 9/11, it is probably one of the easiest possible government institutions to get rid of
