What @transitmatters achieved today is nothing short of profound.
Outstanding, whip-smart grassroots advocacy has put Massachusetts on the course to completely reimagine its commuter rail network as high-frequency regional rail.
Congrats to all involved.
We did it!! The FMCB has resolved to transform @MBTA_CR into electrified, accessible, frequent #REGIONALRAIL essentially using the phased framework we laid out in our reports. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey with us so far, especially our co-founders @CriticalTransit @DigitalSciGuy @hatchback31 and board members throughout the years! We're excited to see where the future takes us! – at Everett, MA
9 (!) years ago #TransitMatters began as an idea on Twitter and started building grassroots advocacy for providing metro Boston with better public transportation. Today, we are a registered #501c3 non-profit about to hire our first paid staff member. #MyTwitterAnniversary

And remember that fact-checking is an ongoing process. We all remember Colin Powell holding up his little phial of 'evidence' & convincing the world of WMD's. Truth can take longer to establish than fiction, especially in a world full of lies.

We're going to keep reminding people about this, b/c right now we all need to remember how much outright pure fiction is routinely sold to us as 'breaking news'. Don't believe ANY story you see on the media until you have fact checked it.

Read this thread and weep for Western journalism. A couple of pics of men in hats and they're convinced of the entire UK govt narrative. Who cares about the massive inconsistencies, lack of data and strange gaps - pics of men in hats who could be Russian! Case closed
Kremlin media claiming (again) the UK is accusing Russians of Salisbury "without any evidence at all," despite CCTV footage showing 2 Russians flying in, going to Salisbury & approaching Skripal's house on the day of the attack, then rushing back to Moscow ria.ru/radio_brief/20180905/…

Pedestrian fatalities have surged 46% since reaching their lowest point in 2009. A total of 5,987 pedestrian fatalities in 2016. May get worse, with more bicyclists, scooters, segways. etc. crowding the sidewalk. Act for safety locally! -R

Corporate censorship is state censorship
"This is a setup. Hit the soft target so your oligarch-friendly censorship doesn’t look like what it is, then once you’ve manufactured consent, go on to shut down the rest of dissenting media bit by bit."

There's zero evidence that "drunk walking" causes car crashes. But there's mountains of evidence that when we put stroads in our cities, people on foot get killed—even if they're stone called sober. We're with @StreetsblogUSA on this one. bit.ly/2m00jfP

Take a ride through Nairobi streets between 5am and 7am and you will see that the streets are full of people walking to work. It is am amazing sight that every urban planner should watch so they can think of building more pavements and affordable modes of public transport nitter.gq/hervegogo/status/10150…

Parking minimums might sound dull, but they have an enormous impact on the financial success of your city, and understanding why is crucial if you want to put an end to them. bit.ly/2NjINPU

You don't need to have a wife or kids to know that sexual assault is wrong. You don't need to have kids to know that separating children from families is wrong. You don't need to have kids to be a decent human being. Just be a decent human being regardless. It's not hard. nitter.gq/CriticalTransit/status… – at Boston, MA
