I've watched every minute of the recorded oral comments & read the hundreds of written submissions to
@ripta.com in response to the painful service reductions and segment and outright eliminations on the table. This 🧵 is strictly my own and is not an official RIPTA statement.

I’ve heard multiple analysis of Momdani and something something Dems

How many Dems have been on public television discussing rights and how to protect immigrants and kids from masked bands of roving Ice agents
A local NYC baseball coach says he fended off ICE agents during a recent practice.

Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer!

Shoutout all of our local heroes!

I hope people in uniform know that eventually you take off that clothing and come back to the real world where we will all know the choices you made while wearing it.

We're not in "normal times". Despite what you may think, there are choices to be made and they will determine our future.

BEGGING LIBERALS TO READ THIS
Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on:
“We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“

To everyone in PA, I know there is a ridiculous amount going on right now BUT, please take a minute (a literal minute) to contact our state reps about funding septa.

Transit is absolutely necessary for a functioning Philly, *and* for meeting climate goals.

As are the cuts in funding for science research, arts and labor. Anything happening in these areas are not “distractions.”
The fascism is not a distraction from the funding of the fascism.

They’re the same thing.

Note : Floodplain mapping
SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:
Trump Cuts Are Killing a Tiny Office That Keeps Measurements of the World Accurate
A tiny but crucial agency that maintains physical coordinates like latitude and longitude in the US is struggling as the Trump administration forces out federal employees.

When he died on Monday, Pope Francis had been on the cusp of signing into canon law a huge reform of Opus Dei, an abusive cult at the heart of the Church

Those reforms may now never happen

This is why I get so Aggie about some of the “report everything thing they say”

These people want kids to kill themselves . They WANT this

I don’t have to care why. I have to STOP IT
I almost didn’t post this because it’s one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever read—but silence can’t be the response. I can’t imagine having thoughts like this, let alone saying them out loud…where others can hear you. These people are not okay.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

so just fyi we’re pretty deep in the “they came for” part of that poem
The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who:
–has green card
–was Columbia Buddhist club president
–saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier
–said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

If the government’s position is that being trafficked to El Salvador by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller amounts to a final and irreversible deprivation of all rights, then it seems to me every federal court has a duty to permanently enjoin the practice as soon as it possibly can.
