Horrifying, insane scoop from @vivmccall.bsky.social . Five beatings of trans women have occurred in Seattle so far this year. The suspects have all been men. In at least one case, random men—strangers—have joined in on the attacks. Depraved shit. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

Bad idea.

Ouch. 🔥

I wrote about the loss of Cascade PBS News (better known as Crosscut) in today's edition of Cascadia Journal...

Whose yodeling do you like better?

Huh. Wonder who Bruce will be endorsing for president in 2028.

I have always been and will always be anti-fascist.

Ugh. Sad news but not surprising.

Glacier Peak on track to longer have glaciers, thanks to climate change. This, and other news from across the #Cascadia bioregion: cascadia-journal.ghost.io/cascadia-tod...

Some good news for a change... I wrote about how a Seattle-based company is piloting a way to turn compostable diapers into climate friendly biochar and deal with a portion of the 20 billion diapers that end up in North American landfills. My latest for @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/WhatWorks/20...

Nice to see Hotel Leavenworth repping #Cascadia

Well fuck. The NIMBY city council just fucked over renters in Seattle for decades.

Bars and restaurants in our neighborhoods! Horrors! Have you been to Paris? Quelle disastre!

Boy, he must have raped a lot of teenagers.

Do your job, Sara. 🙄

This week for @cascadiajournal.bsky.social I wrote about how the US descent into fascism has made me think of myself as Cascadian rather than American: cascadia-journal.ghost.io/why-i-no-lon...

#Cascadia offered its resident evidence-based advice on COVID vaccines, gov Ferguson says he'll backfill Planned Parenthood cuts, and the Lummi Nation tours a totem pole to draw attention to the feds' attempts to destroy wildlife habitat: cascadia-journal.ghost.io/cascadia-tod...

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

I no longer think of myself as American: cascadia-journal.ghost.io/why-i-no-lon...

The Seattle Police Department has informed me that they will not follow the policy they agreed to in a settlement with the Seattle Times on public disclosure when dealing with my records requests. Instead, they are "grouping" all of my requests and responding to them, in full, one at a time.

This story, of a woman forced to give birth in her car on the one-hour drive to a hospital in eastern Oregon, is bananas. And things like this are only going to get worse as GOP cuts to Medicaid threaten rural hospitals' ability to remain open.

You know what's an alternative to corporate greed? Publicly owned grocery stores and co-ops.

If you're in Joy Hollingsworth's district and believe the city needs more housing, might want let her know you oppose this modification to Seattle's comprehensive plan...

They moved very quickly from the Reichstag fire phase to Kristallnacht phase.

Will BC be a refuge for Cascadia's trans people?

Very telling example of ideological blindspots. Dylan Roof not part of the extended MAGA cinematic universe for reasons you can figure out for yourself.

Oh look, a state public health agency promoting evidence-backed information.

Folks, we're at the point where Canada is debating whether to make it easier for trans people and people of color in the US to seek asylum north of the border -- because they fear for their lives. thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

Fuck these fascists. 🏳️‍🌈 www.advocate.com/news/trump-c...

Oh look the US fascists are meeting with the German fascists. Seem to remember there was a name for these folks back in the day...

I love how Americans think Canada is this benign, happy country when in fact its government loves to destroy the environment to pay the bills.

More than 200 testifiers weighed in on Seattle’s proposed Comprehensive Plan update and dozens of proposed amendments ahead of planned votes this week. The topics of neighborhood centers, tree retention, and social housing dominated the hourslong hearing. Story: www.theurbanist.org/2025/09/15/h...

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

They’re just completely erasing history.

This was never about trees, but about preserving home value at the expense of renters.

Five alarm Reichstag fire.

It is crazy that I just had to put this PSA on LinkedIn. LINKEDIN!

All the news from the #Cascadia bioregion that's fit to print:

For someone who really likes to play strongman, Harrell sure doesn’t like taking responsibility for the decisions his administration makes.

Environmentalists are again filing a lawsuit against the feds over dams on the Lower Snake River after the Trump administration scuttled a deal made in 2023. Plus, Portland is ramping up confiscation of RVs used by homeless people. cascadia-journal.ghost.io/cascadia-tod...

Fascists really don't like when other fascists are held responsible for their crimes.

One thing that everyone with any sense will have to do over the next few years is to refuse to accept lies and bullshit.

This is the way.

Leaders in Cascadia condemned political violence, while local right-wing influencer Christopher Rufo blamed the "radical Left." for Charlie Kirk's death. This and more in my latest newsletter:

Ooof. That's the saddest news of the day.

What you really need right now is a list of some of the best books I read over the summer. So, here you go! cascadia-journal.ghost.io/my-best-of-s...
