Great job by everybody who let their state reps know a $550M tax break for the biggest corporations in the world shouldn’t have been part of an historic income tax bill. This was a fight, and working Washingtonians won.

I’ll quote at my friends “but what if… I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking” at least once a week

big day for looking smug as heck

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Hello @brooklynmarie.bsky.social, as the the local authority and expert on hypochlorous acid, I wanted to ask you if you have ever used it to clean laptop/phone/TV screens? curious if you've ever tried!

I wanna like her but she won't let me.

bonesmashmaxxing is especially interesting as a N +V + V -> V serial verb construction with simultaneous noun incorporation those lads are really doing innovative things with English and I’m here for it

get in losers, we're wordmaxxing

wonder how the linguists are approaching the -maxxing phenomenon sweeping the internet. "goonmaxxing" to me sounds like a V + V → V serial verb constr., "to goon" + "to max(imize)", yielding "to goonmaxx" Have also seen stuff like "doommaxx" which feels like N+V → V noun incorporation!

It’s time that we ban right turns on red citywide as an initial step towards building a transportation network that prioritizes people.

I pulled in front of a school bus (left turn on green without yielding to oncoming traffic after a red light) and still didn’t get failed

hard to believe I’m his whole world

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

NEW: Wilson signaled her most moderate posture yet on the controversial surveillance expansion she once opposed at her state of the city address. She used to argue that cameras don't improve safety, now she's "moved" by families impacted by gun violence www.theburnerseattle.com/post/mayor-k...

Yeah sure okay 👍

get that diva whatever he wants omg

Sitting here open-mouthed at this Sound Transit board presentation, because it was just explained that making Ballard Link's Seattle Center station "slightly trapezoidal" would save the agency a HALF BILLION DOLLARS.

this washington map is disgusting (we should absolutely do it anyway) hard to see our Democrat-in-name-only governor do anything but obstruct such a bold maneuver, sadly

folks! 'Seattle Council unanimously approved ILA between City of Seattle & Seattle Social Housing, which will transfer approx. $115 million in funds this year to acquire & build permanently affordable & publicly owned housing for hundreds of working Seattleites.' wilson.seattle.gov/2026/02/11/m...

being very normal about my conlanging hobby (buying a $250 academic reference of polysynthetic languages for some *light reading* (okay it was half off for $120 what did you expect me to do))

So, the sweeps continue. I wonder what “safety hazards” were identified that justify the use of violence against these homeless people. I wish we were at least told that so we could judge for ourselves if this is compassionate or business as usual.

My Windows key just stopped working. No worries, I’m old enough to remember the Windows+R run shortcut to open Notepad that way. Notepad takes 10 seconds to load. What are we doing here.

seattle mentioned!!!

I’m reading a book a month this year and I finished this one on the last day of January! A good but difficult read that elaborated on many things I’ve learned over the years. It highlighted how ambitious the goals of Reconstruction were and just how brutal the backlash that betrayed it could be.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Used to live near here - frankly disgusting behavior

Been a moment since I shared him with the world.

free them all

If you live in Washington state please take 20 seconds to sign in PRO for our millionaire tax bill currently going through state legislature.

the virgin norms respecter versus the Virginian norms destroyer (laudatory)

okay but democratic voters want to abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who works for it, so

an insult to all real spreadsheet guys. show me your pivot-to-Asia table, coward.

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

If this is what is happening in public what is happening privately? We need every detention center open for inspection and we need to free everyone in them. We cannot let people die alone and suffer without proper food and medication. It’s happening right now in concentration camps in our country.

These fucking animals are drawing guns on people for the non-crime of following them while following all traffic laws

I am losing my mind at work. So many basic functionalities of Windows 11 have been just breaking down for months and it’s getting worse. This can’t be sustainable for Microsoft.

Overall, I’ve been pleased with my senator on many issues, but Murray continuing to talk about “common-sense reforms” for DHS is just rhetorically wrong, even if there is some deeper Senate strategy going on behind the scenes. Defund, abolish, prosecute.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Washingtonians, we need to put similar pressure on our own Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in WA’s 3rd, who also voted for more ICE funding. I’ve donated to her primary challenger Brent Hennrich, who has come out in favor of dismantling ICE @bhennrich.bsky.social

Two days ago, WA 3rd rep @gluesenkampperez.house.gov voted in favor of funding ICE. This morning, we saw another horrifying execution. I'm sending a few bucks to her main primary challenger @bhennrich.bsky.social to signal that her vote was unacceptable and that ICE must be abolished.

speechless.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Glory to the martyrs who defend the Republic

That was clearly an execution
