Late 30s lady, would absolutely move abroad if given the opportunity!

All of my political views and policy ideas have basically collapsed to "Punish the Villains" and I mumble it to myself every time I see a news article these days

Congratulations to our Mayor-elect, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! #ThisIsOurCity #Seattle #SEAElex #SeattleElex #KCElex #WAElex

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

New little buddy heading to the PNW soon 💕 #rescuedog

I bought 90 bars, but have only gave 3 little groups so far!

Happy Halloween! I’m going full bars this year, so hopefully kids will brave the rain! 👻🎃🧡🖤

Obligatory Fuck Ice.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I went to a pop up book shop at my favorite coffee shop this afternoon and it was delightful!

The Golden Retriever is an elegant, graceful, dignified breed.

Why does the government need private jets is maybe a question we should be asking.

Bennie wants to Rome away from this one. #CorgiCrew #VioletHasJokes

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

Blue Lake was outstanding this morning! The root-y trail sucked for my ankle, though. #hiked

Diablo Lake looking pretty spectacular this afternoon 😎 #pnw

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

Good work, Dawgs!

Plus an emergency Naked Bike Ride! 🚲

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

They're BUYING the fruit! They're EATING the bread! They're SUPPORTING the merchants at the markets in Portland!

While Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are puffing themselves up in front of the U.S. military leaders at Quantico, I would like to remind everyone of an important historical detail: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

“You kill people and break things for a living.” Jesus Christ.

I love this little chaos monster!

Listen I’m sorry yall Costco makes the best bday cakes they just do and yes I have ordered the dry bougie bakery cakes

I spent the morning hiking 9 miles along a river in Olympic National Forest. I came out to news that Portland is being invaded by federal forces. I would like to return to hiding in the woods, please!

But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

Not quite a hot statue, but here are some wooden(?) naked women bathing in a reflecting pool at Parque de Naçoes in Lisbon!

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him. they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

A lot of speculation about how things got so Stupid and Evil and I think one reason is we've collectively been too tolerant of Stupid and Evil for too long

Glad he’s back in, but Hulu is staying cancelled.

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

Can’t believe the CDC. Can’t believe the DoJ. Can’t believe the BLS. Can’t believe the FBI. But I believe in us.

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Everything is hell, but my dahlias and pumpkins are doing well!

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Tim Walz: "I've been telling people since January it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to come to an end. History is not going to be kind to these people. History is going to remember them for what they're trying to do. It's not what they're going to get done."

Mr. President: Operation Warp Speed & the COVID vaccine were a success. As you have stated, they saved “tens of millions of lives.” Vaccines have also helped eliminate polio, measles and mumps. Vaccines work. Let us listen to doctors and scientists, not conspiracy theorists.

I bought 4 things at the store yesterday and it was $36. Cold brew coffee, Greek yogurt, Kind Zero bars, and Fairlife milk. Geeez.

the millennials yearn for precedented times

Heck of a day up in the mountains! Ptarmigan Ridge trail, hiked to a viewpoint and back. Tons of delicious huckleberries! #hike

Also, shame on any democrat politician who thought for one moment this was a radicalized progressive. We don’t radicalize toward weaponry and murder. We generally radicalize toward justice, protest, mutual aid, and community action.
