Huge turnout of 250+ people at a rally and march to demand Sound Transit build light rail to Ballard as promised in the voter-approved ST3 ballot measure.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Northbound MLK Way is down to one lane near Dawson St. During rush hour, this causes a traffic jam that can be measured in miles. 0.0 miles, to be exact.

"Art of the deal" Out of desperation, Trump is preparing an unconditional surrender to Iran in the war he started for no reason.

No one uses it, let's get rid of that ugly nasty thing.

Every single day from 2008 to 2020 I walked to work because I couldn't count on the Route 8 showing up and actually getting me there on time and THIS MONTH we're getting a plan to fix that, from a Mayor who actually cares about this.

We need to go taller, denser, and faster. That's why we're taking bold steps to meet the scale of our housing crisis by combining and accelerating the next phases of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan.

Speeches are underway outside Judkins Park Station and officials are about to cut the ribbon on the 2 Line Crosslake Connection. After a few more speeches.

I'm offended on behalf of Christians as someone who has actually read a lot of the new testament. It's been a minute, but I don't think that part of the Jesus rap is fuzzy.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

It is ultimately my patriotism that drives my bitter disappointment in what is happening here.

Ding ding ding

I think burying power lines is good for aesthetic, resilience, and safety reasons. The problem here is uncertain/excessive standards and onerous permitting requirements.

It’s also crazy how democrats funnel tons of money into deep red rural areas while republicans do everything they can to defund blue cities

When you realize that this is about a personal preference that no housing be built anywhere they can see it... and that they could give two fucks about the negative impacts of that... Everything they say and do makes more sense.

I made this helpful flow chart a year ago. I really feel like it's held up.

Whooooo!!!!! (Other direction)

In a word: Whoooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Getting ready to ride a train, wheeeeeee!

The NYT style guide

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

America has a loneliness epidemic. Sticking people into crowded ICE detention facilities could cure it.

Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

I think it’s pretty clear this is all extremely intentional. The media has refused to cover Trump as he actually is for 10 years: a corrupt, racist imbecile. It’s intentional. These way out of proportion attacks on AOC, smarter than Trump in every way, are intentional.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Fuck, and I mean this, The New York Times.

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Hi Seattle housing Bluesky pals! I know this is a difficult question, but do any of you know when (if ever) the comp plan re-zones go into effect? My attempts to source this information myself were a complete failures.

Congrats Minnesota resistance. You beat them.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

That Ring commercial should convince you to never to buy a Ring and to get rid of yours if you have one now.

Miami police shot and killed a woman experiencing a mental health crisis this weekend after her 12-year-old daughter called for help. No mental health crisis should turn deadly by those called to help. Our hearts are with the family as they await answers.

Upon the Seahawks victory, a great shift occurred but was barely registered. A timeline previously severed by dour provenance was resected.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

100%. This alliance is very good, actually.

Was already a fan, but here is another reason if you need one.

This, or any variation on "I was right not to vote for Kamala because...," is just a block from me these days. I'm sorry your parents didn't/don't pay enough attention to you... but shout your bullshit at each other.

These people are terrorists. Full stop.

Shut up, and I mean this, you fucking moron.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Trump's antisemitism envoy: "It is utterly inappropriate to compare Anne Frank to children hiding from ICE. This demeans the experience of those who died in the Holocaust." Actual Holocaust survivors in Florida: "This reminds us of Anne Frank."

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

I'm really coming around to the idea that seats on planes should not recline (except overnight flights.) I'll take my annoying opinion further: Considering the amount of room people have on a typical flight in coach, reclining your chair is rude as shit.

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope. It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.
