Graphic with a faded image of mangled vehicles after a car collision. The main text is a quote that says “speed wasn’t a factor.“ The tagline at the bottom says speed is always a factor. The ad is from the Urban Truth Collective.

When it comes to the likelihood of car crashes, or the deadly consequences of car crashes, speed is ALWAYS a factor. #UrbanTruth

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I have no idea what’s going on. But this affects me personally along with however many other people out there waiting for the bus that never comes. We must do better.

Staff encouraged me to include a disclaimer: “Walsh is speaking as the elected representative for Ward 2, and the opinions she shared are her own and not those of AC Transit or its Board of Directors.”

I guess AC Transit and the rest of the Board don’t agree that transit requires investments? 😕
