Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Seattle politics nerds explaining the next week of ballot counting

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

So sorry, Minneapolis. :(

NINETY TWO PERCENT of Starbucks union members just voted to authorize a strike, kicking off on 13 November unless they (finally) get a fair contract: www.cbsnews.com/news/starbuc... #labor #1u

i promise you that you have a locally owned coffee shop in your area that makes just as good a version of whatever starbucks drink you like, and isn't actively engaged in trying to dismantle labor rights in america

Famine has now been declared in regions of Sudan. What does it take for such a declaration to be issued?

i would say a crack has opened up in the centrist project and it is our duty to pound and pound until we drive a wedge deep enough to splinter it and toss it on the campfire

If you've tried and failed to follow what Seattle's new zoning might allow, I've got you. Here are 4 case studies showing some of the exciting ways new incentives line up with current demand and emerging household demographic trends, with a focus on stacked flats. medium.com/@matthutchin...

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

It’s really sad that we always already know who the public wants in office but to guess who is actually gonna win, we have know the turnout, which is the true predictor of who wins. We should never forget how messed up that is.

Don't forget to release some of that election anxiety with a little walk of some kind today.

On Election Day, the president announces that he will defy a court order so as to deprive millions of Americans of food.

"I am openly defying a court order so I can starve children if Democrats don't let me take healthcare away from millions" once again we are in 'too evil for a saturday morning cartoon' territory

PSA for Seattle procrastinators: If you're voting today or tomorrow, USE A DROP BOX, NOT THE MAIL! The USPS won't guarantee your timely ballot is postmarked on time. Locations of ballot boxes: cd.kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec... More details: publicola.com/2025/10/03/p...

it's pretty on the nose that SDOT will not do this, so safe streets advocates like jeremy step in. imagine if we had a mayor who did not lead with a 'cars first' mentality (we could! if we elect @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social!)

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

About Teen Vogue, I don't read or care much for a lot of mainstream media, but Teen Vogue is the only consistent non-Native media outlet that has always done an incredible job reporting on Native issues and giving our talent a platform to shine and not just to fill their "diversity" quota.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

I don't know if that's true anymore. Real newspapers have a limited scope, the erosion of local news means that the bar for stuff to get reported on is quite high, and I see stuff on TikTok all of the time that people is saying is happening in their communities that I have no way to verify

We are just one day out from the Seattle local elections! Only 17.6% of King County voters and just under 20% of Seattle voters have returned their ballots. So far, only 1 in 17 young gen Z voters have voted, compared to more than 1 in 3 boomers. Don't forget to vote if you are eligible and want to.

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs. www.vogue.com/article/teen...

This is, pardon my language, FUCKING BULLSHIT! @leximcmenamin.com is a top tier journalist who had a great interview with Mamdani THIS WEEKEND!!! The kind the NYT could never do. It’s bullshit of Anna Wintour to destroy the TV politics desk on the eve of a mayoralty they were born to cover

wow. this is absolutely garbage for the staffers and for all the rest of us who benefitted from teen vogue’s politics work through most of the last decade.

Barf. Here's the "Team Mpls" plan to “address climate change.” No mention of getting off fossil fuels. Nothing on electrification. Nothing on renewable energy, transit or building housing near transit. Just trees and carbon capture(?). This fluff could have been written by the Koch Bros (1/2)

Devastation on repeat: 1,000+ dead, 6.9M affected by Pakistan’s monsoon floods Climate change is melting glaciers, intensifying monsoon rains, and worsening floods, hitting the poorest hardest in a country responsible for just 1% of global GHG emissions www.bbc.com/news/article...

1/ Oh Lord, won't you buy me some good public transit, My friends all drive cars, but I choose to resist it. I wait at the platform, the train's late again, shit— Oh Lord, won't you buy me some good public transit.

2/ Oh Lord, won't you give us reliable trains, That run every ten minutes through sunshine and rains. No Oberleitungsschaden, no delays, and no service-cut pains Oh Lord, won't you give us reliable trains.

3/ Oh Lord, won't you fund the Verkehrswende right, Not just shiny highways that guzzle the night. Give buses and trams their fair share of the light— Oh Lord, won't you fund the Verkehrswende right.

4/4 Oh Lord, won't you buy me some good public transit, My planet is burning, we can't just dismiss it. I'm waiting, I'm hoping—come on, don't resist it— Oh Lord, won't you buy me some good public transit.

Thanks to @newrepublic.com for this in-depth profile! When we FIGHT, we win! And right now that means getting your ballot in ASAP! Three more days until Election Day.

The article shows how to calculate a Land Residual (i.e. how much you can afford to pay for land given a certain amount of density). It compares one of our 1.0 FSR plexes to a 2.0 FSR “new vancouver special” #singlestair building.

“Instead, local bylaws have typically relegated apartments to large buildings in crowded downtown cores and along busy major roads. Largely, they’ve been meant to be home to high-flying young professionals at best, or second-rate housing segregated along racial and class lines at worst.”

Also signing up is a HUGE barrier and takes way too much work, too

Crosscut is dead. Long live Crosscut. Today’s the official last day for me and my Cascade PBS newsroom colleagues. We did good work over the decades and it is supremely sad to see it shut down.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Today I'm calling on @governorferguson.bsky.social to declare a state of emergency: the expiration of SNAP benefits for nearly one million Washingtonians will be a disaster for the health of many, and for the economic health of the state. We must join other state governments and act swiftly.

notes on gatesnotes, in a thread "A new way to look at the problem" - er, no, he's been running this line for DECADES On the headline: you can absolutely guarantee anyone presenting themselves as telling tough, hard truths is about to deliver some self-aggrandising nonsense

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]
