I do think that it's important to read history. It doesn't tell you what to do in the present but at least you know what came before so it can help you ask better questions of the present.

Holy shit! This is awesome!

I’m speechless

THE ELECTRIC COMPANY won its first Emmy #OTD in 1973. PBS shows like this and SESAME STREET transformed the way my generation looked at race and the world beyond our doorstep. I can’t imagine my life without it. #PBS #TVSky

Blizzard's owner died, leaving him homeless. He is 6-7 yrs old, house-trained, lab/Great Pyrenees mix, absolute sweetheart. "He meets other dogs respectfully, and then after his walk will come in and lie by your side while you work." mamasshelter.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?f...

If FBI Director Patel wants to pass out branded bourbon or pop bottles in a locker room, he should stick to podcasting. This is a serious job & I don't believe the American people can count on him. Patel should never have been confirmed. He should resign or be fired.

PATTY MURRAY: Is it your position that American families should be forced to give up childcare and health coverage so you can have $1.5 trillion for this budget? HEGSETH: That's not my department. I certainly support this budget and the president's efforts to find and remove fraud wherever possible

Tonight in Seattle! With @denshoproject.bsky.social , Shawn Wong, mam’s books at Seattle Public Library!

From mountain trails to coastal shorelines to desolate Tule Lake, this installment of our 30 Objects for 30 Years series reflects moments of connection with nature.

thinking about the gould quote again

Every Republican who voted YES to another $70 billion ICE slush fund at 3 AM last night said NO to child care.   Republicans said NO to health care. NO to helping working Americans in any way at all.   I'll be making sure everyone knows it.

Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Help students learn statistics! Although there is one question that is *not* meaningless and *does* have a correct answer: "True/Flase: People ticketed for speeding in school zones should lose their driver's license." [TRUE]

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Seattle is literally breaking records for the price of diesel thanks to Trump's war of choice. This is hitting our supply chains—and you're going to see the difference at the grocery store. I'll keep voting to end this senseless war again and again.

Yes. This.

Hungary is currently over 74 percent participation. If only we could see that in November

I'm on the train back to DC – I call on all my colleagues to come back, too. Congress must vote to end this war IMMEDIATELY.

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

“A whole civilization will die tonight," is plainly threatening genocide and war crimes. Congress MUST step in. Republicans need to join Democrats to take action. Call Congress back into session—we should vote to end this war immediately.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

Donald Trump threatening the destruction of an entire civilization is madness. He is completely unfit to serve as President of the United States. Invoke the 25th Amendment. Or Republicans must stand up with us to impeach him. We cannot allow him to set fire to the world.

"...You deserve the world. Not this world, hostile and unkind, but the one we are building in the lines of poems, in our wildest melatonin dreams, in the dirt of our gardens and the recipes passed down to us..." - "You Deserve the World," Ally Ang

Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit, while innocent people pay the price.   Congress must reconvene to pass the War Powers Resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job. War powers and Impeachment.

I don't want anyone to experience the deprivations of poverty, but this captures something that is hard to understand unless you experience it. Clarity comes in these moments. As a young adult and only responsible for myself. 1/

They say you don’t really understand a policy until you feel it in your bones. Not read about it. Not debate it. Feel it at 3 a.m., when the house is so cold you can see your breath and you’re bargaining with the thermostat like it’s a luxury item instead of a lifeline.

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

Easy way to help people get back on their feet.

The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud. Seriously. That's a real stat. I'm voting NO on the SAVE America Act.

har har har ;)

This is as extraordinary as everyone says it is.

@murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov Please don't support this bill!

What a phenomenal book. Reminded again that Reconstruction didn’t fail, it was actively destroyed by people hell-bent on preserving the racial hierarchy of the antebellum South.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Lovely.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

We are tantalizingly close to finding out if the Windward is under this block! www.djc.com/news/co/1217...

While this isn’t a final decision, this is good news. The GEO Group is a private corporation that profits off cruelty and forced, unpaid labor. Detained immigrants deserve compensation for their work, and these private, for-profit facilities shouldn’t exist.

Trump wants you to think he has all the power and that you have none. Not true. Not even a little. Use your voice and your vote—this is America and the PEOPLE have the power.

Cut the check, Donald Trump.

Calling all Seattle-based high school history teachers!

Hey, friends! @ziibiing.com and the awesome folks at StandWithMinnesota have launched #keepMNhoused! Check out keepMNhoused.com and kick in to help folks affected by ICE stay in their homes! ALSO, artists, please join the call for art to help spread the word! (art here by the great @trungles.com)

Come for Team Stratton, stay for Sen. Duckworth

From @govpritzker.illinois.gov "right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party. We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.”

We need to rein in ICE and CBP. We need to call out the avalanche of lies. And most importantly, we need to stand up for our communities—because they are being terrorized by their own government. The American people are demanding Congress meet this moment.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.    If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.   And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

I’m excited to share that I’m running for re-election to the King County Council! Together, we’ve made real progress — delivering light rail, opening the Eastside’s first permanent shelters, and securing major investments in housing, environmental protection, education, and arts and culture.
