Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.

Pike Place is still a “pilot”. Let’s stop dithering and #makeitpermanent and use FIFA to maximize the pedestrianzation we want. That’s a trick Anne Hidalgo used to transform Paris: don’t waste a crisis or special event to make the change you want.

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

“Rob Manfred. M-A-N-F-R-E-D. Yeah, I swear that’s his name.”

It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the

Seattle, please join us at Easy Street Records on Jan 25 to celebrate our beloved friend Rick Fröberg's (Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, Obits) life and art w/ help from special guests. PLENTY FOR ALL: The Art of Rick Fröberg book is going on tour akashicbooks.com/author/rick-froberg/

Please indulge yourself at the mountain goats merch table this week to offset how poorly I’ve controlled my book buying habit at Magus and Elliott Bay in Seattle, thank you, I tried to control myself but didn’t

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

Why is SPD intimidating taco vendors

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

Bruce Harrell: Pulled a gun on a pregnant woman over a parking spot Katie Wilson: Sometimes struggles to make ends meet in one of the most expensive cities in the nation, just like all of my friends

this is so real and it makes me so mad. enough people just said "cool I guess I'll give you a bunch of money then" instead of saying "nah, you already got the taxman to pay for your stadium, put it on the network or I'm out"

imagine being Rob Manfred, watching this intense world series game and saying “this would be so much better if a fake runner had ended the game five innings ago”

Made ya look LOL

I feel very strongly that the new stupid ballroom should *not* be torn down. I believe the next Dem President should, a week after taking office, have a Drag Queen Story Hour there, and then use it for a rotating exhibit of Black/Latin/East Asian/African/Queer art. We're going full troll, people.

i love all the lyrics to the sunday night football song APE FIGHT LAUNDRY NIGHT TRACTOR BEAM

Baseball absolutely rules

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Pax still bringing the smoke!

I'm just here so I don't get fined

AND IT WAS A SCORIGAMI?!

Hello beautiful

This is what we should be discussing

Team Bollard

They had LIGHT UP HOT DOGS y'all

I feel you should know that Gorman Thomas had an absurd number of baseball cards in which he was photographed staring contemplatively into the middle distance. 🧵

Is it uncool for me to say, “What did you do?” to a guy carrying a bouquet of flowers?

Hot Gull Summer

I'll climb up on the house/Weep to water the trees/And when you come calling me down/I'll put on my disease/You could never be strong/You can only be free/And I never asked for the truth/But you owe that to me

My mom's coworker once sat next to Julia Child on a flight. After takeoff, she pulled out an entire roast chicken from her bag and proceeded to eat it.

Standing in a used CD store these days is surreal. It might be even busier than it was when I was 17, even though streaming has now been around forever and records are allegedly cooler. Let's hear it for the unkillable compact disc

@thejesuslizard.bsky.social is the Truth

Marlins 1B Matt Mervis missed the pick at first base and got the throw right in the 🥜🥜

Doubt I'm the one that sent it over the edge but this rules ever year. Congrats to the entire team that makes this happen.

Let's Mariners

Everyday I think about the fact that iceland jailed the people responsible for their financial crisis

Trans people exist. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans people can't be legislated out of existence, and that existence does not threaten you in any way. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain by accepting that, and accepting them. #TransgenderDayOfVisibility

“American Cartoons don’t show beautifully animated food and slice of life cozy comforts the way Ghibli films do” Oh yeh?? Then explain THIS.

I got to see Ichiro throw a fastball and the M's win. What a night!

Enjoying the baseball

I had a little free time before heading to the airport, looks like Jane has been getting the "Gondelman Bump"! (No, not that kind of bump, Josh.)

Out of state scratch-offs, specifically, are the best stocking stuffers. Artisanal scratch-offs that require a side quest to redeem.
