Damn scary a stabbing and fatality at the Mcarthur #BART station. We transfer there, ALL THE TIME. In all seriousness, we see BART Police, in their cars driving from station to station pretty much daily. Never seen them on an actual train though. Got to do better

Likewise. I wouldn't have had Biden in my top 3, but we're digging mass graves in NYC because POTUS didn't think this was any worse than the flu. Time to vote for competency and vote our ideals next cycle because they aren't left on the ballot anyway.

Biden wasn’t my first choice. Of the 20+, Amy was my top, and then Liz, Kamala and Kirsten, my senator in no particular order. But our party chose Biden. And I would walk 100 miles with stones being thrown at me to vote on November 3 and end the terror of Trump.

@AuschwitzMuseum It feels disrespectful to be sure. While we need continued awareness for the museum and the history it protects, this isn't opening that information to a new group of people. More powerful for the photographer likely would have been their only image, without the duck.
