It’s one week to go until my Books and Ballots party at Old Stove Brewing Company! Reading without snacks is a capital crime in my book, so make sure you RSVP so we have enough cheese and crackers for all my fellow nerds! RSVP here (no donation required): secure.actblue.com/donate/12.8....

about to issue a papal bull durham

“Da meek shall inherit da earth. But my kingdom ain’t on earth, you get me?”

“Youse on my patch now. You play nice, you get Vatican City. You disrespect me, it’s BATican City… understood?”

Hey #Seattle, I’m running for re-election next year! And I’m kicking off my campaign with a really fun book party 🤓📚! There will be cozy reading time! Erika Evans and I are going to talk about our plans! You can donate a kid’s book!RSVP TODAY! : secure.actblue.com/donate/12.8....

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

Always good to know that if you’re murdered by a foreign government on U.S. soil the President of the United States will… shrug and say “things happen”

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

It was great to see the @sbworkersunited.org picket line on 15th Ave today! Reminder that Starbucks workers are *on strike* and also we live in a town with like 1000 coffee shops, so don’t cross that line!

seeing how many people show up in jeffery epstein's emails makes me happy i never reply to anyone's email

Because this is a brand-destroying action by Senate Dems.

Why would he?

Reminder! Don’t cross that picket line!

Classically a week after Dems get some much needed wind in our sails, Democratic senators kill it. I mean, why even bother? #ugh

Indeed, he was allowed to to kill all those children because he is so rich

gonna just use this as a plug for actual LOCAL journalists—human beings who are familiar with local elections, as opposed to algorithmic betting machines that can and do get basic things wrong

I know most of my followers are eyes glued to the Seattle Mayor's race, but these #waleg special elections are also super important for progressive action statewide. And as of today, lots of to be excited about.

big question of the night: why didnt NYC like the billionaire backed groper who killed their grandparents

Well well well, what have we here.

Happy Sunday! Started the day at Mass for All Souls’ Day with one of the great Catholic bangers, “I am the bread of life (aka “And I will raise you up) and if that chorus doesn’t set you in a mood of awe and majestic and joy, well, I don’t know what to tell you man. Have a good day! And vote!

The Etsy Witch is ready for Halloween. Sorry, Mariners, no refunds on spells. #happyhalloween 🧙‍♀️

"Trump Administration Says there are obstacles to freeing food stamp funds" The obstacle: Thinking working families are super annoying

The GOP is using the shutdown to literally make people choose between starving and losing their healthcare. That’s how sadistic this is and what the age of fascism is going to look like unless we defeat it.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Open enrollment starts this week.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

The strike authorization vote has begun! While voting commences, union baristas are holding 70 rallies and pickets through November 1st. It's time to get serious about finalizing fair contracts, Starbucks.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

The literal thought I had stopping by my drop box: “I wonder how many more times I’ll get to do this?” Democracy seems so fragile right now, so love it while you can. Get out and #vote #Seattle!

Wild to me that @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social has never talked about pragmatic progressives from in and outside of Puget Sound taking the majority in Olympia & achieving major legislative wins, but instead high on fringe Republicans with delusions of grandeur www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

L.O.L.

“Official side me” said it best. Love those #Mariners Heartbroken but still cheering #FeeltheTeal #TridentsUp

Seattle says: all power to the people and NO KINGS #Nokings

We will allow it.

No Kings but the Frog King in my city! #Nokings #Seattle

Lol, what even is law? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

It’s being shifted…. Away from the thing they had said they would fund… so that thing is being….defunded?

I mean, honestly, great line.

Lol that the London No Kings event is called No Tyrants because…you know… www.nokings.org#map

“for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in” — Matthew 25:35

This would…not be cool at all.

What? Why? We have lots of actual artists and cultural institutions in this city and state who can enrich our city. Why would we debase that for empty AI nonsense?

Congrats to the Seattle mariners for locating the end of this game

Etsy witches — we have some other jobs for you. #mariners

Might as well go win the whole thing #mariners
