Talarico at an event last week. “I will use every bit of financial and diplomatic leverage that this country has to end the atrocities in Palestine,”. I will not use your tax dollars to fund these war crimes. I will vote to ban offensive weapons to Israel.”

Gov. Ferguson Backs Millionaire Tax After Ghost of Christmas Future Shows Him Losing In 2028 If He Doesn’t: tinyurl.com/ye25s9zp

Ferguson backs WA income tax on millionaires Thank you, @governorferguson.bsky.social! #waleg

People have historically, and rightfully, seen the evil of Guantanamo, Abu Gharib, and now CECOT for what it is, but I wish more people would also see the evil in our domestic prisons too. How we treat our most vulnerable, including prisoners, really sets the tone for our whole society.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

36. Finally this. The mark of the fossil fuel shill who never loses the arrogance to walk into a room, say "the sun doesn't shine at night and its not always windy", drop the mic and leave, confident that no one else knows what they just discovered.

Taking the state further into debt just to maintain the existing highway infrastructure we have, all to avoid increasing the taxes we already raised to pay for highway expansion projects, is so wild. Ferguson's first transportation budget is even worse than I expected.

went outside of my comfort zone and hung out with a guy and had a great time (very cool, good job me) only to learn that my intuition was completely wrong and actually he’s straight (very not cool, ahahaha)

Surely the leadership of her party would come out and make statements of solidarity and follow up with action on this gross abuse of power, right?

Early Sunday morning, a driver struck and killed a 38-year-old named Allie who was biking across Beacon Ave S. The driver fled the scene. As a lifelong cyclist who’s had my share of close calls, my heart goes out to Allie’s family and friends.

Gross behavior from a new business on the hill I won’t ever be visiting.

Gluten-free Mediterranean muffins I baked today were a big success

If I've said anything smart on Palestine in the last couple years its likely cause @diplomatofnight.com has offered insight and analysis freely and generously. I'm going to pitch in, and if you have the means I'll encourage you to do so as well.

It’s completely unacceptable to even consider closing the existing line for 3 years. People have built and are building their lives around the expectation of reliable light rail service.

The Indiana GOP's new congressional gerrymander failed by a vote of 31-19. 21 Republicans joined the 10 Democrats in voting no.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map. This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026. The vote failed big, 19/31. The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Building in this, it would have been nice if there was like a RapidRide DX express line that went from central Ballard straight to downtown Seattle without stopping at eight stations in Interbay alone. 40 minutes to get downtown didn’t feel very “rapid.”

Jail for life. I'm generally anti-death penalty but would be okay executing the people who ordered this.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

Hegseth is a cold-blooded murderer. There's no way to dress it up. He's a criminal. And his was precisely the kind of illegal order that those Dem members of Congress urged the military not to follow. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Finally kicked Windows off my PC and installed Linux (Bazzite OS). Incredibly, everything just worked out of the box (even audio and screen sharing, which were very iffy for me on PopOS! a few years ago). As long as you’re primarily a Steam gamer, it seems great!

We Heart Seattle is a rightwing ideological project. They’re not doing this to help “clean up the community” any more than MAGA doofus Scott Presler is. It’s pure theater with a sinister propaganda motive.

I don’t want to hear about norms, I don’t want to hear about looking forward not back, I don’t want to hear about “bipartisanship” I want the filibuster gone, the court packed, new states, and a top to bottom cleaning of the federal government that ends with a lot of people in jail

Across the country, Starbucks workers are on an Unfair Labor Practice strike for a fair first contract, and I know which side I’m on. Baristas make Starbucks an extraordinarily wealthy company. They are entitled to their fair share of that wealth and to benefits and fair treatment on the job.

Petty Activist: I would rather chop down every tree in Seattle city limits than allow NIMBYs to block the development of a single plot of low-income housing

I recall some national outlet, apparently unaware of how our mail-in ballots work, decrying Seattle for record low turnout on election night.

ARC Raiders is pretty darn fun with friends. Love to run into strangers in proximity chat who are equally paranoid and desperate to get home with their ill-gotten gains, and extract together after an uneasy truce.

Now is a great time to order my newest DOOM LOOP collection full of tender memories about the halcyon final year of the Harrell administration. A *must* holiday gift for Bruce stans! bretthamil.bigcartel.com/product/its-...

The NYT has throttled huge national news stories by burying coverage on A-13, burned and buried more chances to say the truth about Trump than anyone even knew existed, has been a huge driver of American institutional transphobia, and also does not meaningfully cover NYC anymore. What’s the point?
