"Service cuts punish those who need public transit the most ... Policymakers need to make choices now that will serve the public interest in the long term. They need to ensure the trains & buses keep running." #mapoli https://twitter.com/cdempc/status/1353002390560141318

The New York Times Editorial Board(!) writes that @MassGovernor's push for @MBTA cuts in the midst of a once-in-a-century pandemic is "small-minded and shortsighted".

Focus on the record - "small minded and shortsighted" justification for transit cuts that make it tougher to reduce emissions, harm those in need and hold back our recovery #mapoli https://twitter.com/cdempc/status/1353002390560141318?s=20

This is the most important thing I've ever written.

My friend and family Lauren @Wolfe321 was just fired by the @NYTimes after the NYT was pressured by fascists, Trumpkins and hypocrites on the right for tweeting she had "chills" after witnessing Biden's landing on the 20th.

New York State and New York City now above-average in the share of vaccine doses distributed. But California ranks dead last among US states. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/
