Kirkland opponents of “La Quinta” PSH certainly won’t be shy to use this. Fortunately the most vociferous opponents running for Kirkland City Council were defeated.

Kudos to @liveablekirkland.org!

Way past time for generational change in Democratic leadership. My Seattle Times LTE. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/lett...

Yep buying houses w/ sub-minimum wages … wonder where those “finds” are? Absurd but tragically too many will believe it.

The change.org petition demanding Chuck Schumer step down as Minority Leader has now reached 50,000 signatures. Sign here: www.change.org/p/demand-tha...

Great news!

New Dem motto: “We are now all Susan Collins”

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

From the always brilliant & brave @anntelnaes.bsky.social

They gotta go … now is not a moment too soon. Such feckless “leadership.” I wouldn’t be surprised if cowardly, not-too-bright Chuck once again caves on the budget/shutdown.

Respected as pedestrians … www.theurbanist.org/2025/09/28/s...

The Kirkland City Council just approved Week Without Driving proclamation. This year’s week is Sep 29-Oct 5. More info in press advisory from Disability Rights WA. disabilityrightswa.org/how-would-yo... #WeekWithoutDriving

Holding on to this.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

To emphasize: Q: “Why does the Times use the word "explicit" when Trump has ZERO authority?👀” A: Because the NYT is an unrepentant, cowardly “both siderism” mouthpiece.

Guess 200 days of sycophant training now qualifies one for the presidency!

In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"

I know Gavin is making the biggest splash, but @govpritzker.illinois.gov is pretty terrific!

Just do it Dems! Stop this nonsense of letting MAGAs cheat w/o in-kind retaliation. Otherwise you are selling our democracy down the drain — and the so-called high road becomes the low road to authoritarianism.

Love Marc Elias. I don’t love gun analogies but in this case so viscerally apt: if they bring pistols we should bring machine guns!

That’s putting it nicely.

Bothell’s pedestrian street — how great is that!

Kudos to Bothell City Council! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 www.theurbanist.org/2025/07/10/b... #cornerstores #parkingreform

Beautiful day for a parade and great turnout of @kurtforkirkland.com supporters!

One of the fundamental rights we cherish in our community is the freedom of expression. Unfortunately, we are seeing that right undermined by the illegal theft and destruction of political signs—from my campaign and from others. 🧵

4-5K peacefully and enthusiastically marched in Kirkland WA just across the lake from Seattle where 70,000+ gathered!

Sen. Murray on the verge of tears defending democracy … powerful. NO KINGS ❌👑 tomorrow (Sat). Use our voices! youtu.be/Xi-PkNtZvS0

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Eastsiders, pls join “No Kings" ❌👑 protest this Sat. June 14, organized by Indivisible Eastside. The march thru downtown Kirkland begins at 11:30am@6th & Central Way w/ rally at Marina Park. Be part of the 1800 events nationwide to halt the "autocratic breakthrough”! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Great tour, beautiful gardens, thanks to all the volunteers!

It was a 6 year old. komonews.com/news/local/6... I post about the intersection constantly because I cross it with my kid to get to the Beacon dance studio and it's so horrible the stress of getting home through here usually ruins my Friday evenings.

Highlights work of Bothell WA’s @caryw.bsky.social ! www.strongtowns.org/journal/2025...

Oh poor “ holier than thou” Jack … maybe do your real job and report on the utter catastrophe of the current president? Oh that would require guts & real journalism.

Trump’s pretense that he’s fighting antisemitism has always been a transparent fig leaf for using real antisemitism to destroy universities, as illustrated by his hosting on May 23 of cryptocurrency investors whose coins bear slogans like “F*CK THE JEWS.”

So many disturbing things happening at US-Canadian border caused by US Customs & Border Patrol. If you’re planning to cross, note: “And CBP is planning to log everyone who leaves the country at the border as they enter Canada and Mexico, with photos taken …” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

MURRAY: How many staff have been cut from the NIH's clinical center? I want a specific number RFK Jr: I can't tell you that MURRAY: That's not acceptable

🎉🎉🎉

NYC Congestion Pricing for the win! Though trump inc. still trying to squash it and paint public transit as unsafe despite decreasing crime. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Looks like the Pike Place Market pedestrianization — after decades of debates — is working great! We can do this Kirkland!! “There’s some real beauty about all those interconnected pieces that just make for a really inspiring and pleasant journey.” www.cascadepbs.org/politics/202...

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

Today’s decision is right on the law and will save lives. Large capacity magazines are used in the overwhelming majority of mass shootings, and reducing the toll of these senseless killings is vitally important. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Governor Bob Ferguson just signed SB 5184, the Parking Reform and Modernization Act, into law. People>Parking.

Washington's rent stabilization bill, HB 1217, is now law.

So WA Post gets a Pulitzer for brilliant work of @anntelnaes.bsky.social who quit the Post after it killed her now famous trump cartoon. Congrats to Ann, continuing shame on Post.
