Pretty daring coming out in favor of love and against hate.

Yeah, idiot right-wing employee probably conveniently forgot that employee restriction don't apply to passengers....

Precisely because it is federally funded, it must allow political speech in the form of buttons.

Mr. Bear and I are going cross country (it’s frigging AWESOME). And honey, if political statements and discourse was banned we’d never have gotten through a single community-seating meal.

I took my first Amtrak ride two years ago and was amazed at how great the experience was. It's since become my go-to form of travel-- leg room, bringing my own snacks and lunches, scenery, and not too many people.

Amtrak is perfection for any trip I take over eight hours.
