My great-grandparents fled Minsk 100 years ago this year, escaping the violence of the Russian Empire as Ashkenazi Jews. Litvaks, to be precise. My Bubbe was born here. They did not escape so their descendant would stay silent while Zionists commit even more atrocities in the name of Judaism. 🧵

The infuriating thing is going to be all of the "because of a tyrannical government!" folks who applaud this.

Um... @keithedwards.bsky.social? While the #Democrats take a hard look at their life choices if *NEWSOM* is who they plan to run, can we have a quick chat about the use of the word #edging?

Chuck Norris didn't die in 2026, 2026 died in Chuck Norris. (But also, ftg for his homophobic, birther conspiracy garbage.) #ChuckNorris

Trump: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

The U.S. Senate needs a John Betterman.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

Watching the news about Trump’s Iran war strategy and I keep coming back to one basic leadership principle: You build coalitions before you make massive decisions that affect millions of people. Not after. Not once the consequences start piling up. 🧵 apnews.com/article/trum... #Trump #IranWar

You can't ask for better ad placement, I guess...

Dude. The priest looked at John when he said, "... until your dying breath." 🥺💔☠️ #Bridgerton

If you’re still unsure why the Washington House declined to issue these three press credentials, it helps to look at how they actually use their platforms. Let’s review. I've covered Jonathan Choe and Brandi Kruse, so now let's look at Ari Hoffman. 🧵

A federal judge just ruled that Brandi Kruse, Jonathan Choe, and Ari Hoffman are not entitled to press credentials for the WA Leg. Kruse now claims journalists supporting the ruling are “siding with the government instead of the 1st Am.” That’s not what’s happening. 🧵 #WALeg #WApolitics #Journalism

Washington State passes the Millionaire's Tax after more than 24 hours of debate! So many thanks to @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social for the play-by-play and keeping transparency alive. #waleg #millionairestax

If you thought your confidence in Pete Hegseth couldn’t get lower, I’m afraid it is about to www.tiktok.com/t/ZThv2QTbL/

I am openly, actively (and advocate-ly?) polyamorous, so I hope this makes sense when I say that I am also polyMAYORmous. Because apparently my political heart has room for both @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 💙 #LocalPolitics #ProgressivePolitics #CityLeadership

Some of you aren't up to speed on Flobots' "Handlebars" and it shows.

Unfortunately, the reason Burien incorporated 33 years ago was to prevent the citing of any additional affordable housing...

Proud to see Burien students out protesting today! #AbolishICE #IceOut #Burien

Hey, Washington friends! I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: YES on SB 6069 for More Homes & Shelter Statewide. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/yes-...

Love to see it! I voted for Rocco for a dozen or more reasons, but his receptiveness to community feedback and his quick action is up there!

Me to the city of Burien every day until it happens:

Guest on NPR: "We're in a technological doom loop, and I don't know how we get out of it." Me: "JUST STOP USING THE TECHNOLOGY! GOD!" Google Gemini, via Android Auto's Voice Assist: "I heard "You want to disable AI assistance, is that correct?" Me: 😳🫠😔

This move reads as: - Ceding leverage at the exact moment leverage mattered. - Treating a moral crisis like a scheduling inconvenience. - Asking people who are already being harmed to “wait two weeks” while power protects itself. 👇🏻 apnews.com/article/sena...

The DOJ says no court has the authority to enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act... and they did it in the middle of the night so it wouldn't make a big news splash. #EpsteinFiles #FDT #EFTA #DOJ

I've been droning on about #StochasticTerrorism for years, aimed at both under-resourced communities and 'left' elected officials. Here's yet another example of it in action. #FDT #Trump #Project2025 #ProjectEsther #EpsteinFiles

Most Anticipated Movie of 2026 Just 90 Straight Minutes of ICE Slipping on Ice: tinyurl.com/3btmv2aw

Are ICE agents wearing Southern Brotherhood prison symbols, or...? (Around 14 seconds in, "1423" can be seen on an agent's helmet. "1423" (or 14/23) refers to a widely known white supremacist phrase, snd the "23 precepts".) See below. 👇🏻 #ICE #Minnesota #FuckICE #Minneapolis #IlhanOmar

Fat women are told we can’t lead, can’t fight, can't win... yet here I am, having done all three, and teaching others to do it with joy, strategy, and a little bit of righteous chaos. Come see me at #FatCon in Seattle this January ! 🎟: www.eventeny.com/events/fatco... #Seattle

Anyone else spend an inordinate amount of time at the Puget Sound VA? I'm here three days a week while my husband undergoes treatment, and there's a guy who waits for me in the lobby so he can walk a few feet behind me and comment on my ass... and I would happily welcome a buddy to chill with!

The fact that I can score so well on a cognitive test at 6:55 in the goddamn morning on a random Wednesday while I wait for my partner at his VA appointment is less a testament to my intelligence and more a brilliant display of the indisputable powers of espresso. *nods* #LinkedIn #Espresso #HALP

Yes. Yes, he did. 😁

What's up, Burien? Let's GO!!!!! #ProgressivePower

Today around 2:05 PM, eastbound on HWY 518 in SeaTac, WA, my husband & I were tailgated hard by this driver. We flipped each other off. We changed lanes, he races away, slowed & cut across traffic, rolled down his window and screamed “White power, b*tches!” while throwing up a Nazi salute.

I spent the last hour in the lobby of my doctor's office in Cap. Hill (Seattle), talking with an 80-year old farmer who lived on Vashon Island. Turns out she grew up TWO BLOCKS from where my family now lives, and her school is now our Safeway. I love moments like this, especially now. 🥹

Have you seen Cuomo's AI racist garbage fire of a political ad against Mamdani? youtu.be/YxQICQbG-uE?...

Does @colinmochrie.bsky.social like hugs? Or, you know, words of deep, deep appreciation? Because I would very much like to give him both, whenever possible. Love, Mother of two trans sons

🧟‍♂️ 🎬: Steve Bannon (or whatever is occupying his husk) lays out why #Trump will have a 3rd term in 2028.

New Yorkers giving ICE the welcome they deserve has me thinking New Yorkers just wrote future Broadway hit, ‘Community Service: The Musical.’ 🏆💐🥂 Let's do Seattle next. #FuggeddaboutIce #NYCIce #ICENYC #ICE #NoKings

Hiring managers & boards: let’s talk about the knee-jerk side-eye toward “short stints” on resumes. Too often, brief tenures trigger lazy assumptions - “flaky,” “disloyal,” “undisciplined.” That’s bias, not truth. 👇🏻 #WorkplaceEquity #AntiAbleism #FeministLeadership #NonprofitLife #HiringBias

Re-listening to The Superhero Complex podcast (named one of the best podcasts of 2022) by David Weinberg & produced by Novel. Seattle folks - remember Phoenix Jones? 😂 I'm in Episode 4: "Under the Spotlight"

If people in power aren't using their power to directly, tangible benefit the people most at-risk in their jurisdiction, they should no longer be allowed to wield that power. Dems (especially) included.

Excited to speak to a room full of leaders at next month's National Conference on Student Life in Atlanta! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I’ve transitioned out of my role as ED at Real Change to balance work, health & family... & am now focusing on new opportunities + my consulting practice (@pceinstitute.bsky.social) 💼 Services: pceinstitute.org/services Open to leadership roles, collabs, or coffee chats. Let’s connect! 🌟

The shutdown blame game is in full swing. Here’s the bullshit spin taking place instead of fighting for Americans... something both parties seem to forget is the goddamn point. 👇
