“Maybe Tomorrow We´ll All Wear 42, that way they won't tell us apart.” And they did wear number 42 for Jackie Robinson. Every MLB player on April the 15th of each year.
Peewee Reese told Jackie Robinson that he wanted his family to know who he was. Well, despite is diminutive nickname, Peewee Reese was a BIG man!

@Mikrokosmochii @wmataGM To have guard equivalent patrolling its major cities. Worth noting, their cities also have significantly less crime than ours…
English
@Daniel_Rank67 @wmataGM To use military forces against its own people? ☠️
English
Twitter sadly can bring out the worst in people & society.
I have deep respect for those that wear a uniform to serve our community & country; be it Metro staff or Nat’l Guard.
Opine on politics or hate on me 🤷 but pls be nice to public servants who are just doing their jobs
Randy Clarke@wmataGM
Late night check in & appreciate how our @wmata team & @DCGuard1802 have built a positive relationship during their shifts. Our station manager was so happy to get a challenge coin from General Blanchard who was out personally checking in on his team. People supporting people.
English
@Plugspark @ajlamesa Like I said. Federal/State/City collaboration is best for sure. Hopefully more is done by all citizens/businesses and gov officials at all levels to improve things. Maybe not an emergency but there is always room to improve and we should never accept just ‘ok’
English
@Daniel_Rank67 @ajlamesa The fact that you or anyone else treat this as a non-political or in any way good faith effort by the president and GOP is a massive problem in our society and a huge reason that nothing is functional.
English
It's a shame that people are attacking Randy Clarke over this post. Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to DC and they're not going away -- Clarke has to make the best of the situation. And, obviously, having them in metro stations is a deterrent to both crime and terrorism.

@Plugspark @ajlamesa Why cherry-pick though? Try to ignore the politics and who signed the order. I believe we should try all sorts of strategies and policies to improve our cities. Federal/State/City collaboration is best! Also worth noting DC Police & Metro PD are understaffed.
English
@Daniel_Rank67 @ajlamesa Ok, but that's not a national police force and not what Nat'l Guard trains for or is made for. If you're saying EU countries with nat'l police have better stats, we should start with their policies on crime and social matters in general first as those will have much more impact
English
@kevsaucebro @wmataGM What about admin issues that cause crime? Federal agencies have supported local law enforcement since our founding. This isn't necessarily new. I would agree with your 2nd point, but it's a fact that major Euro cities have significantly better crime stats than ours.
English
@Daniel_Rank67 @wmataGM Administrative issues are not an excuse to militarize communities during peacetime, otherwise any administration could find some administrative excuse to inject the military into anything it wanted.
We should not do what Europeans do, we’re supposed to be better than Europe.
English
@Plugspark @ajlamesa Sorta true, we have had federal agencies assist local law enforcement since our founding. And other countries, especially in Europe, certainly have better crime stats in their major cities.
English
@Daniel_Rank67 @ajlamesa We don't have a national police force in the United States, by design.
English
@ajlamesa it's a shame that people excuse the normalization of this and don't know a single thing about the crime rate in DC and how the number of police or national guard has no actual affect on the crime rate
English
@Mikrokosmochii @wmataGM It’s normal in many major European countries.
English
@wmataGM Come on now, Randy.
You seem like a reasonable guy. Understand that this is not something that should be normalized.
English
@kevsaucebro @wmataGM Worth noting DC Police and Metro PD are understaffed. And many European countries deploy a Guard equivalent in their major cities, especially after terrorist attacks. Presence and deterrence matters.
English
@wmataGM The military has no role in policing the people during peacetime. That’s a value so fundamental to the American constitutional tradition, it’s centuries older than the American nation itself.
No one’s asking you to disrespect these men. Just don’t normalize their presence.
English
@RosinaPhoto @thejuliedaniel @wmataGM You live on the Metro? DC police and Metro PD are understaffed…this helps.
English
@thejuliedaniel @wmataGM Well then invite the National Guard to YOUR HOME, NOT MINE.
English
@karlsasson @tdeluca80 @wmataGM Many cities especially in Europe after terrorist attacks have guard equivalent security patrolling their majority cities. DC police and Metro PD are understaffed. This is not uncommon.
English
@tdeluca80 @wmataGM i’m speaking for myself and i as a dc resident don’t appreciate it :) i’m sorry that you’ve fallen for fascist propaganda and believe that military occupation helps you
English

@combat1921 @wmataGM Shhhh Virginia, this doesn’t concern you.

Packed house at Hill East Burger (someone was asked if they had a reservation which I didn’t even know they offered) for Tuesday half off burger/sandwich night.
For you pickle sickos out there, they are now offering Pickle Lemonade (pickle brine + house salted lemonade)

@dlitt_3 @imperfecttl Gotta hold the line for sure. I think the league will keep growing.
English
@imperfecttl Soccer holdings is holding some massive equity with racing. They paid less than 2 million for a franchise and now new ones are over 100 million
English
Soccer Holdings is trying to make the Lynn Family Stadium area a year round attraction with a new arena for pro hockey & volleyball by 2028. I believe that Racing Louisville FC could be sold & relocated. Racing is not profitable & has had declining attendance since inception.

WEDNESDAY: News conference at 10:30 a.m. -- "A special announcement regarding a major national sporting event coming to Louisville."
The mayor referenced the Sports Business Journal report on new arena plans: sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/…
English
@saksuds @PaulMiles840 Interesting! Announcement says sporting event. Wonder if an arena announcement is happening along with it.
English
@queerelladevil @wmataGM @wmata @DCGuard1802 @FTA_DOT @USDOT DC Police had to start assisting MTPD in 2023 because there weren't enough people. This helps. Presence matters. Being able to respond asap to an emergency matters.

@wmataGM @wmata @DCGuard1802 @FTA_DOT @USDOT why the hell is wmata supporting the military occupation of our metro system fuck you
