“Highways are racist” is one of those things that’s undeniably true but you do sound kinda insane if someone’s hearing it for the first time

If you want to tear down the urban highways in your city I encourage you to join dsausa.org and start an Infrastructure Committee. Pressure your elected leaders to use Reconnecting Communities funds to tear it down so the neighborhood can heal and rebuild.
@slavojtrex but focusing just on that part of the problem misses the bigger picture where robust public transportation for all solves the racism issue & gets conservatives on board by having messaging about the substance that they can’t immediately dismiss. a rising tide lifts all boats
@slavojtrex So glad tnis tweet is getting the attention it deserves
@slavojtrex Are they racist or just classist? Everyone knows they weren't tearing down rich neighborhoods but I'm pretty sure they tore down plenty of places white people lived as well. Some things are called racist when it's really just the rich screwing over the poor.
@slavojtrex Imagine ur big viral tweet & the xeet is redacted 🤣
