Amidst all the dire news, found this heartwarming story, so sharing. 🐾 Seattle clinic gets homeless youth engaged in care by treating their pets www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

No Kings March 28 sign-up’s have gone live. I signed up for Kirkland event starting at Marina Park Pavilion, 1:00pm. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...?

Mark your calendars ... so much can happen between now and then, but glad to see organizing has begun for this next mass event. #NoKings

Another execution today by federal agents in Minnesota. Hard to know what to do except stand in solidarity. Good turnout at today’s Kirkland demonstration.

Something evil came to Minnesota and something good and extraordinarily powerful has risen up to meet it

Senator Manka Dhingra's "RECOURSE" bill is🔥. It withholds state payments to the federal government equal to any federal funds illegally withheld from us. Love this. lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/202...

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America. At least until tomorrow.

SHAME SHAME SHAME on the NYT … trying to make sense of trump’s madness once again rather than calling it out for what it is — egomaniacal insanity. One Year In, Searching for a Strategy Behind Trump’s Unpredictability www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

It’s solidarity w/ folks that helps keep discouragement at bay. Grateful that so many community members turned out for today’s ICE OUT FOR GOOD rally in Kirkland WA.

This bill to restrict the use of facial coverings by law enforcement officers is getting a public hearing on the very first day of Washington's legislative session, next Monday. You can weigh in on it, without testifying, here: app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie...

Also Kelli Curtis will continue serving as Kirkland's mayor for another two years. Neal Black will be deputy mayor.

ELECTIONS MATTER! “The 6-1 vote to increase the height limit in both…to 75 feet comes on the heels of a closely watched election…focused around growth issues. The sole “no” vote came from Jon Pascal, the only candidate…to win his race after being promoted by Kirkland’s slow growth advocates.”

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.

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.

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!

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.
