That's my state senator!!

Evergreen post - and I wish I didn't know exactly to whom and what it was referring in this instance.

I never got around to doing this, but they just extended the deadline to 11/21, which tells me they're not getting the engagement they want. Ha.

Bluesky has finally, quietly posted a position for a one-year remote contract Policy Lead, Trust & Safety position. Trans people who qualify, apply here: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i... We need someone competent in this role if this place is going to survive.

Terrific interview. I'm not sure how I feel about this Coast to Coast partnership they mention, though . . .

On the air, like all the coolest 13-year-olds - or really, like all the 13-year-olds with the coolest parents.

Nobody needs me running for anything, but somebody please make a bold progressive run for Seattle D5!

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

Thank you @jayapal.house.gov. @cantwell.senate.gov and @murray.senate.gov - time to be bold!

You do not have to hand it to the Catholic bishops. In the same meeting, they banned gender affirming care at all Catholic hospitals nationwide. www.npr.org/2025/11/12/g...

I'm just calling Cantwell and Murray every day unless I see movement from them on removing Schumer. Today and yesterday I got a human in Cantwell's office, so clearly they're not getting enough calls. #DidThisToday

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Congratulations Mayor @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social !!!

Imagine spending $50k to go to a college where they highlight "collaboration" with a soulless algorithm built on stealing the work of every musician you've ever loved or cared about and powered by resource-hogging, polluting data centers at a time of growing inequity and climate crisis.

Damn me, but all things are queer

Wilson leads with 50.08% of the vote over Harrell who has 49.59% of the vote. This may now be moving out of recount territory.

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Hell yeah.

Hell yeah.

We just launched the biggest primary program in Indivisible’s history. Help us (literally) send Schumer and the surrender caucus a message. open.substack.com/pub/ezralevi...

We’re all trying to figure out who controls the democratic Senate caucus, because that person should resign.

There's still a lot of curable ballots from Seattle (about 1,800). Most are unsigned or signature mismatches, and most skew younger.

I called @cantwell.senate.gov and @murray.senate.gov this morning to demand exactly this and will continue calling until they do so publicly.

Tonight, Senate Republicans — aided by eight Democrats — passed a funding bill that will raise healthcare premiums for millions of Americans and leave some families without health care at all. Let's discuss.

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Oh yeah, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social's doin' the tighten up!

"Being a zombie in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more humanity than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a person should be."

Hi! We actually formed Cornellcourage.com last week- please check us out. We'd prepared a letter to Cornell's leaders & just as it became live, we see this news, so we'll likely create a new letter, but either way, please send us an email at the contact info there so we can unite as alumni.

Hey fellow alums: if you'd like to voice your displeasure, here is the contact info for Cornell President, Michael Kotlikoff. (607) 255-5201 [email protected]

Prosecutors really found themselves in a pickle. The defense mustard a strong argument, and it was clear that while federal agents mayo rder civilians to follow lawful commands, citizens needn't obey quietly. The people say, lettuce speak! Praise cheeses, this jury saw through all the bologna.

What this order makes clear is that plaintiffs can collect a mountain of animus, the district court can write extensively about the record, and the Supreme Court will just go “nuh uh.”

He was going to pull the carcass van around.
