AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 reports that @ddotdc.bsky.social is going to terminate DC Streetcar service by March 2026.
Nearly 2,500 people ride the streetcar every day. Buses along the corridor are already at capacity.
This is yet another broken promise to transit-dependent residents.

Trump is furious at Israel this morning for bombing Iran after his cease fire was announced, and says he’s “not happy with Israel” and they “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

Iran has supposedly been “just weeks” away from having nuclear weapons for over 30 years now.
It’s all just a bunch of nonsense to justify more war and imperialism.
For the benefit of the oppressed Iranian citizens obviously the regime needs to go — but war from outside agitators is not the way.

This is a bait-and-switch.
I followed plans for years. Never saw weekday-only plans.
Look at maps from just last year. All indications have been a weekend connection from East Cap to Florida Ave.
