@bridget I want this but for trains. “We can’t lose to China on this, we need to start building a national high speed rail network stat”

@kellydf @bridget
Mr. President, we cannot allow a high speed rail gap!

@bridget the wildest part to me is that the DoD has been clear that it is a national security threat for 20 years that they have to rely on timely fuel deliveries to remote bases. It's amazing that they refuse to believe their favorite institution.

@bridget @aburka “You know what trans people hate? Sustainable energy and a protected natural environment”

@bridget they're not actually worried about losing to China, that's just the excuse they find most helpful for getting support from xenophobes.
