Had to share this from twitter just because

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

You can tell that Seattle is a real city because they have big companies like Amazon, whose corporate headquarters is essentially an extension of the highway on-ramp

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

Hell is being stuck in a Lyft with the christian music station on the radio.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

@divestspd.bsky.social just heard this flight go over. Seems to be the company chartered by ICE for deportations.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

NASA staff putting one of the Tesla ‘I bought this before I knew he was a Nazi’ stickers on a Saturn V

shit keeps coming out reaffirming that i had this admin's rank transmisogyny clocked dead to rights from their early executive orders and that we'd be a lot better off if the national lgbtq orgs stopped covering it up instead of firing me about it

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

This is the bare minimum. They were all sent illegally, they all need to be brought back immediately. Are you listening @cantwell.senate.gov and @murray.senate.gov ?

Just snacks on this @amtrakcascades.wsdot.wa.gov train because the food fridge is broken. At least the beer fridge works! A train beer is almost necessary to deal with riding trains in this country 🥲 @donoteat.bsky.social for the train beer inspo (though not for the IPA specifically)

This is the fundamental point of agreement between the American gentry class (car dealers, fast food franchise owners) and the Silicon Valley tech elite: Workers should have less power, the economy can be worse overall, but I myself should have more power to decide what happens.

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released

Got some appropriate reading from @garethdennis.bsky.social for the trip to Portland.

Taking the train out of Seattle. #amtrak @amtrakcascades.wsdot.wa.gov

@cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov I’ve left voicemails for both of your offices. Do the right thing!

When I worked in consulting, of course, there was free coffee for days. (It all got billed to our public agency clients as “overhead” — this is the vaunted private sector efficiency you always hear about)

okay, so, the thing is, the orderly, civil, and negotiated process by which unions strike is the compromise position and if you give up the compromise position, you give up the orderly, negotiated, civil parts of the bargain

the only people who benefit from this are child predators and i'd like dem officials to say so into a microphone

@cantwell.senate.gov, I sure hope someone's monitoring this account, because it is OUTRAGEOUS that you voted to confirm Bessent & Duffy today—one a billionaire who thinks $7.25 an hour is good for a minimum wage, & one a bigot and climate denier as TRANSPORTATION sec'y. What are you even doing?
