People are making their way to Wilma Chan Park early on Bart ahead of today’s No Kings Day protest and march to Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland @sfchronicle.com

Update: We now have systemwide restoration of service.

These is our first passenger train on Yellow line.

Service is back systemwide!

I’ll have more to say later on what happened here.

I’m grateful to BART staff for their quick work, and all our partner agencies for mutual aid.

Limited East Bay service resuming at 9:30am:

• Yellow line from Antioch to MacArthur
• Blue line from Dublin to MacArthur
• Orange line from Richmond to Berryessa

No ETA yet for SF/West Bay service

We have swapped our larger ferries into service where possible. Take the ferry from Vallejo, Oakland, Richmond or Alameda or take @rideact.bsky.social transbay buses.

Our schedules are here: sanfranciscobayferry.com/routes-sched.... You can use Clipper, the SF Bay Ferry app or pay on the boat.

BART is down systemwide. While it is, here’s a tool for finding alternative options for your trip.

And there is no real alternative to the role BART plays in our region. You should always be able to count on BART, and I’m sorry that today you can’t.

I’ll share more information when I have it.

Know this rhetoric is a daily occurrence now but christ “incompatible migrants” is phrasing indistinguishable from the most vile neo-nazi screeds & is the type of dehumanizing language that can & will lead to the unthinkable

If Democrats won't act like an opposition party, we will.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

At today's BART board meeting, @edwardwright.bsky.social called on staff to augment the surge of police officers at the 16th St Mission BART plazas by also sending BART's ambassadors and crisis intervention specialists. Video from Edward's Instagram

BREAKING: U.S. DOT Orders Review of All Grants Related to Green Infrastructure, Bikes — Streetsblog USA Now U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is coming for our bike lanes!

Let’s be clear about the impact of this DOT memo: Pedestrians and cyclists are going to die. usa.streetsblog.org/2025/03/12/b...

For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes.

Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.

They used “free speech” to hide their intentions to destroy speech.

They used “DEI” to claim they were being discriminated against in order to discriminate against Black people.

They used “groomers” to claim trans people were targeting children so they could target trans people *and* children.

‘Stop these crazy bills’: Republicans join Democrats to defeat anti-trans legislation in Montana One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

Last year, Republicans silenced her.

This year, many stood beside her and defeated four anti-trans bills.

This is the power of standing up for your beliefs and for what's right, and good trouble.

National Democrats, take notice.

Powerful Speeches From Trans Dems Flip 29 Republicans, Anti-Trans Bills Die In Montana Transgender Reps Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell delivered powerful speeches on the Montana House floor on Thursday. Republicans defected en masse to join them in voting against anti-trans bills.

well this made me cry over breakfast. to any democrats holding even a shred of power right now: look at what’s possible from people far more endangered and vulnerable than you and grow a spine, you fucking cowards www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-s...

What’s “deeply unfair” is the shameless backpedaling on trans rights and the villainizing and scapegoating of a community that simply wants to exist.

Trans rights now, trans rights forever, fuck that noise.

There is a station closure at Civic Center due to a major medical emergency. MUNI is offering train service in downtown San Francisco between Embarcadero and Civic Center.

There is a major delay from downtown San Francisco toward all destinations.

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism.

This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

S.F. is cracking down on chaotic streets. But are the problems getting pushed into one neighborhood? San Francisco's Mission District has seen illegal vending, homelessness and illicit drug markets for a long time. Can new leadership turn the situation around?

We’ve got a new Mayor, Supervisor, and BART Director (👋) for the Mission.

And we need a new plan to make sure our Mission plazas are vibrant, welcoming, clean, and safe.

NO KINGS, ONLY TRAINS is a pretty great 2028 slogan for anyone who wants it

The Court has considered both motions, the parties’ supporting and opposing briefs, and the

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.

This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!

Huge win for trans people in MT!

For highway projects, states only pay 20% and federal government pays the rest, but for California High Speed Rail the ratio is flipped around - 80% comes from state government.

Nope, she’s not on Bluesky

Please let this be a renaissance for passenger rail

The SFMTA is a huge, complex agency facing serious crises.

Leading it is an impossible job no one is more prepared to do than Julie Kirschbaum.

Muni is faster and more reliable than it’s been in decades, with the highest rider approval ever recorded.

It wouldn’t be without Julie.

Thank you for riding BART!

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
