The @USDOT RAISE grant award builds upon the successful construction work & preliminary design work performed under prior grant awards, & the Authority is providing a match of $16M to this award of $25M.

But what will this grant specifically do for the Authority? #FactFriday
This is a planning grant wherein the Authority will advance design of the Merced extension to full configuration level which includes:

🛠️ Value engineering

🚧 Refining construction costs

🛤️ Mapping right of way
📞 Identifying utility relocation agreements and other third-party agreements

🏗️ Advancing this important extension to construction-readiness

All this work will advance high-speed rail to an operational railroad with higher ridership and improved mobility access. #BuildHSR

Am #FactFriday folgt ein Thread zum Thema #GenderCareGap. 1. Frauen bringen mit 4:13 Stunden durchschnittlich 52,4 % mehr Zeit für unbezahlte Sorgearbeit auf als Männer mit 2:46 Stunden. 2. In heterosexuellen Paarhaushalten mit Kindern liegt der Gender Care Gap bei 83 %. (1/6)⬇️
3. Beim klassischen Ernährer-Modell (Vater vollzeitbeschäftigt, Mutter nicht erwerbstätig) ist die traditionelle Arbeitsteilung mit einem Gender Care Gap von 154 % besonders ausgeprägt. (2/6)
Was bedeutet das für uns als Bündnis Sorgearbeit fair teilen? Es gibt noch viel zu tun. Denn die unbezahlte Sorgearbeit ist eine zentrale gesellschaftliche Ressource, auf die nicht nur in der Pandemie wie selbstverständlich zurückgegriffen wird. (3/6)

Everyone's heard of #FakeNews. Before it was called fake news, it was called #disinformation. The goal is to cause confusion and chaos, so people don't know who to trust or what to believe. THREAD 1 #RussianCollaborators #Propaganda #FridayFeeling #FridayMotivation
Disinformation promotes so much misleading & false info that people lose faith, give up. Disinformation is designed to weaken the enemy by discrediting it with lies and "leaks" of damaging "info". Hint: the enemy is us, the resistance. 2 washingtonpost.com/news/worldview…
Joseph #Stalin is credited with inventing the term "dezinformatsiya", defined in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia as "dissemination (in the press, on the radio, etc.) of false reports intended to mislead public opinion". 3 #ColdWar #Propaganda #Lies #misinformation
