Pounds of butter should be packaged with 2 sticks salted and 2 sticks unsalted: cooking butter _and_ eating butter, in a single package. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

A huge victory for public transit that will resonate across the US. If Measure RTM in the SF Bay Area had failed, leaders across the country would have said “if transit can’t win in the most liberal metro area in the US, what chance do we have?” 1/.
The bay's public transit will live to see another day. Voters in five Bay Area counties approved Prop RTM, a half-cent sales tax that would fund more than 20 transit agencies, including BART, Muni, and Caltrain.
SF voters also gave an overwhelming thumbs up to Prop H to fund Muni for 15 years.

It is not illegal to enter the country and seek asylum! Due process applies to anyone on American soil.
Paula has complied w/immigration requirements while seeking asylum. Now she’s in federal detention, separated from her community & studies at @UCBerkeley.
Due process is not optional. She deserves fair treatment and should be released immediately while her asylum case proceeds.

Prop 45 does basically nothing for infill housing (which got a major statutory CEQA exemption last year via AB130), but will massively benefit sprawl subdivisons and freeway expansions. It's one of the worst things on your ballot this year.
If you haven't already, vote no!

Transit is a *government service* that is orders of magnitude safer and more efficient than highways that’s treated like a business; expected to be revenue neutral or even turn a profit. It constantly has to beg for money from the state that could just decide to fund it.
San Francisco Bay Area: Here is my final and most thorough argument for the transit ballot measure #RTM, one that both honors and refutes the most common claims of its critics. Please share!

I feel like we're all owed several years of boring. Just aggressively, unapologetically boring years.

It’s insane and absolutely outrageous that game six of WNBA finals is going to be at 9:30amPT. Is there an actual adult in the room that can fix this?

SF ballot box be like “increase sales tax by 1% so we don’t cause a near total collapse in public transit throughout the Bay Area?”

It's not mysterious at all. But if every neighborhood is allowed to opt out of change, the result is a free-rider problem. Exclusionary neighborhoods can free ride off of the neighborhoods that actually allow new housing, businesses, walkable amenities, etc.
Team AC-transit-themed costume! (Actually saw a couple of these cute lil buses between Piedmont Ave and Rockridge this weekend.)
Young AC Transit fans can be a BUS 🚍 for Halloween!
All you need are a few supplies. Download and print the bus costume PDF, then follow the instructions to create a fun costume for your little transit fan. actransit.org/connect-us

Vote YES on RTM! It'll cost an East Bay family that spends $20k on taxable goods/year $100. That's far less than the cost of the time and additional gas it'd take to navigate the resulting congestion from far-reduced transit services
Bay Area residents take 1M+ trips every weekday on our four largest transit systems — to get to work, school & everywhere in between.
We can’t let devastating cuts take that away. I’m voting YES on the Regional Transit Measure to keep our region moving. sfgate.com/news/bayarea/arti…

I texted my children that we got the puppy they’ve been begging me for and sent them a link with pictures. 🐶When they clicked on the link, it took them to a webpage that said YOU’RE GROUNDED. They’ll be spending the weekend retaking our family’s cybersecurity training course.
