Contemporary Seattle in a nutshell.

"Don't you know how to be dumb? Like a building thrown up overnight in one of those reverse earthquakes..." This one's for my bldg mgr, quite simply one of the least intelligent persons in Seattle. Elvis Costello's "How to Be Dumb". 'Night, all. xo www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q7s...

it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

The tens of millions of us w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis & now the tens of millions more w/ #LongCovid can't launch an ACT UP-style protest--& I wish we could--b/c most of us are far too ill to get there. So here's what you need to know about this year's #MillionsMissing theme, Frail and Furious:

Consider the opportunity costs of the war in Iran. The missiles might have been sent to Ukraine, to end that war. The money might have bought healthcare for Americans. The attention of Europe and Asia might have been focused on countering Russia and China, not re-opening the Strait of Hormuz

Yeah, we’re not safe at all. And when the inevitable occurs, they’ll blame it on vulnerable populations and never, ever accept the blame.

Look at that face!❤️ #DogSky #NewYork

Repealing women's right to vote is a very serious agenda item for the Christian far right. Glad to see the New York Times reporting this out. Most non-reactionaries do not understand how extreme the Christian right is. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

Hey, Los Angeles!

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

So, Pam Bondi is definitely out. ABC News just interrupted The View and is doing a breaking news segment on it now. Hand her over to the Epstein survivors and their loved ones.

The tens of millions of us w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis & now the tens of millions more w/ #LongCovid can't launch an ACT UP-style protest--& I wish we could--b/c most of us are far too ill to get there. So here's what you need to know about this year's #MillionsMissing theme, Frail and Furious:

Pam Bondi only got the job because when she was Florida's Attorney General, she took a bribe from Donald Trump to drop her investigation into Trump University. She was hired because Trump knew she was corrupt and would do his bidding. Pamela Jo *never* had any "integrity" to give up.

Grimly hilarious that Kristi Noem and now Pam Bondi--each a horrible person and full-on gender traitor--thought proximity to patriarchal bullshit would protect them. When, of course, they're the first ones he threw overboard.

I just don’t think you need to love war crimes to be a real man.

"Well, life's a train that goes from February on day by day But it's making a stop on April first..." Rufus Wainwright's "April Fools"❤️ 'Night, all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIF6...

I turned on his address to the nation late and he started shit-talking Obama so, yeah, I'm out. It's all lies anyway.

I don't care about Kristi Noem's husband's kink, but the hypocrisy remains infuriating. The whole time she was heading DHS, her husband was cross-dressing. Meanwhile, this administration is terrorizing everyone who doesn't adhere to conventional gender norms. www.thedailybeast.com/kristi-noems...

Great work from Congressional Democrats.

"[NY AG Letitia] James, in a press release, said that her office is continuing to investigate Shah Alam’s death. 'Mr. Shah Alam fled genocide to build a life in this country,' James said. 'Instead, he was abandoned and left to suffer alone in his final hours.'" DHS murdered Nurul Amin Shah Alam.

In an era defined mostly by chaos and suffering, NASA remains a rare example of the U.S. at its best. All good wishes to the Artemis II crew.

All motherfuckers had to do was vote for Kamala, Day 435. www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to...

D.C.’s biggest bully just pulled up to the Supreme Court to try to intimidate the justices into ending birthright citizenship. No sitting president has ever attended oral arguments — but this one thinks the Constitution is optional and that the Court must bow down to him.

It really ought to frighten EVERYONE that four of our so-called "justices" actually wanted to hear this case. This is what happens when the Heritage Foundation owns your Supreme Court

LFG

Haters gonna hate

feels like cutting healthcare subsidies will hobble the only industry that's not shrinking, but go ahead, republicans, fund that super important war.

Yessssssss 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Jewish belief in right to abortion for the WINNNNN

Just seeing this now--welcome to April🌦️ #PoetrySky

Good! Now make him rebuild the East Wing.

Shutdown ‘will go into the summer’ as TSA workers go without pay and Congress not working toward new deal

Just such beltway anti-dem bullshit. A) The TDoV statements were all written last night and scheduled for release this morning and Weigel knows that. B) this is an extraordinary level of cynicism and entirely unsupported by history or facts, which Weigel also knows.

More kids will die as a result of today's SCOTUS ruling. More preventable deaths of children.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter today. When you read her dissent re how the First Amendment applies to medical professionals when they're treating patients, it's all the more dismaying that Kagan and Sotomayor didn't agree w/ her.

Today's SCOTUS ruling is barbaric.

I think you have to be a completely idiotic rube to think SCOTUS dropping their bipartisan torture-away-the-trans decision on Trans Day of Visibility is a coincidence

S3 of THE COMEBACK is off to a great start and last night's ending was exquisite. Lisa Kudrow and Conan O'Brien have been friends forever and their shared affection really comes through here. (Cue someone who's weirdly angry about this.) Everyone else, enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbG9...

"In early 2024...the average NBA player made about $12 million...The average WNBA player made $118,000—less than one cent on the dollar." That recently changed, thanks in part to this Nobel winning economist. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

Tasty.

Crimes against humanity

It's like an Escher painting but also somehow evil.

It's been pouring rain for hours in Seattle and if No Kings were today, attendance would've been way down. But yesterday it was sunny here and attendance was massive. Just a reminder that, occasionally, the world gets it right.

"The EU's new migration regulations allow for more police raids in private homes and public spaces and more use of surveillance and racial profiling, said a letter to EU institutions in February from 88 nonprofit groups..."

"(Jesus) does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: 'Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood.'"

If you're able-bodied and in a hurry and a #disabled person is ahead of you on the sidewalk, you can politely say "Excuse me" and walk around us. That's fine--we get that. But DON'T nearly fucking knock us over as you plough through on your way to get your matcha latte. A little empathy, FFS.
