This isn’t really a partisan thing and it probably makes me more mad than any of the other TX flooding stuff. We are just far too accommodating of people in denial about reality.

Who sites a summer camp in a floodplain, in an area that experiences flash-floods? Why would any government OK this use case? Religion trumping life? I am sad that these girls are gone. Facts, history, and effective government matter, as the State of Texas shows us time after time.

Please ignore Junior, he's in his teenage phase... #Greenlake #Seattle

Happy 4th! #staysafe

Hakeem Jeffries -- Way to go!!!

Meta’s web-to-app tracking proves you’re right to distrust Meta, and we need to end surveillance advertising.

Didn't have glitter-bombing ICE agents as a response against racism in June 2025, but on the other hand, it makes total sense.

“I hope you realize you are more than what people think you are. Be the difference and be loud.” These words just reached a pain I forgot I buried so deep within me. And that title?? Preview of Marlee Matlin’s “Not Alone Anymore” has me ugly crying in < 2 minutes 😭 youtube.com/shorts/YHflB...

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

“The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.” ― Winston Churchill, 1936

Thanks to #KEXP, we can now consider "Walking in LA" a protest song. #resist

Just one of those Seattle mornings with terrific light!

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

Fewer and fewer do as we get further into his 2nd term.

Tongue out Tuesday! #davesdoggos #marymoordogpark

The Trump Admin is showing 4 important things to the U.S.: 1) Showing the true value provided by US Gov't Agencies by reducing or or removing them. 2) Business leaders suck at government. 3) Power is split across the Presidency, Congress, and Judiciary for reasons. 4) Autocrats are fragile.

A friend who had had their coffee before me made a salient point, "If illegal immigrants are taking advantage of the U.S., and not paying taxes as the Republican leadership claims, why is the current administration using IRS data to find illegal immigrants who don't pay taxes? #magalogic

Found this on my feed today, and thought it might be useful for others, esp to the point of yes, things are being done to better understand how to fight against Misinformation / Disinformation. s3.amazonaws.com/fieldexperim...

Here's to all you Gen X women and gays who will be firing up Top Gun, and FFing into the movie 1:15 over the next several days. #Topgun #Iceman

Lisa Murkowski just became the only GOP senator to vote to defund DOGE. She knows Musk might bankroll a primary against her. Her response? “This is the United States of America. Political retribution should not be something that even exists.” That’s courage.

This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.

A really good discussion about why removing Section 230 would be extremely chilling to a lot of the internet communities, inarguably making them worse experiences and subject to the whims of bad actors.

New candidate for "favorite quote post of all time."

We went to @katestarbird.bsky.social’s talk last night. And let me note that if you get a chance to hear Starbird talk about rumors, disinformation, and the right wing bullshit* machine, you should go. *bullshit is a technical term, meaning, well BS. 1/

Did they look like the Rolls-Royce from "Goldfinger"?

Yes, the current US President is shifting away from Biden's approach to the RUS invasion of Ukraine. The majority of voters disagree with this policy shift. Like you, we'll have to hold fast, work for better outcomes for UKR and the US Slava Ukraine

🇺🇦 Now listen to the words of a TRUE LEADER of the Free World: "I wonder where the feeling that Ukraine will agree to ultimatums now comes from, if in the most difficult times we did not agree to russia's ultimatums?" — Zelenskyy #UkrainianView #NoPeaceWithoutJustice

Couldn't make it today because work, but I was there in spirit. Gotta say the Tesla storefront protests of today warmed my heart! #nomorekings #notmypresidentday

Nice turnout on both sides of the street at the Tesla protest in downtown Seattle. Video later. #BoycottTelsa #DefundMusk

You mean deep learning can figure, by reading our posts about when and where we gather, it could help others figure it out where we're gathering to protest? How could an AI tool figure out we'd gather in front of the White House to protest? It's gotta be BRILLIANT technology!

Bollocks! Wokeism isn't the argument . There's a great document that makes the correct argument, "All men are created equal", which is today, "All people are equal." This isn't some trite sound-bite , this is The Declaration of Independence.

Does anyone but me think that Musk and his Muskrats are not only destroying US government agencies, but also tech startup businesses? How does one create a company of any kind, including a VC -funded startup, without laws, and the adherence to laws? IP goes out the window.

Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as DNI. Moscow celebrates. Reagan rolls over in his grave.

I'll bet $1 that Musk's boys didn't make a backup of the websites. Thus, they'll end up forcing the spend of MOAR Federal $$$ to fix their lack of forward thinking. Whoda thunk it?
