From the mouths of babes, at a south Seattle public school full of Black and Brown kids, many immigrants or children of them. #southseattle

TOMORROW, Seattle! If you can attend this town hall at 4:30pm Monday 1/26, please do! This will be a chance for folks to discuss Seattle's response to federal threats/ICE, including the city's surveillance apparatus. I'm hearing there will be a listening component.

Mark your calendar for March 28th! 🚉The Crosslake Connection will create new opportunities & connections for current and new transit riders! We can’t wait to see you on opening day! 🙌🏽

Sound Transit will open the first ever light rail on a floating bridge on March 28th! What a wonderful investment in our region! Thank you to the many leaders, construction workers and voters who made this possible!

I don’t want to spend my energy fighting against bad things. I want to fight for good things that make the people’s lives easier and more joyful. That is part of why I fight for transit, bike lanes and pedestrian streets. This infrastructure builds a better world.

Stop wasting people’s time with your stupid ass ballot measures Brian. 1. I would love for my daughter to play sports with trans kids! 2. No way I am I going to subject my daughter to invasive genital exams. That is creepy and ripe for abuse.

Absolutely surreal to read "Homelessness is rising fast among a surprising group: infants and toddlers" as Congress prepares to hand ICE another $10 billion to terrorize communities across the country.

I love supporting the local businesses in my neighborhood! I was able to get fair trade women owned coffee beans and delicious treats, including a take and back huckleberry pie, with locally foraged huckleberries.

Not me over here reinstalling Instagram to post one useful thing. Followed by several hours of doomscrolling for several days in a row. Followed by re-deleting the instagram app. I won’t miss it for like a month and then I will think “oh, I should post…” and the whole stupid cycle repeats.

Did you know the Together Center in Redmond is a place you can get a whistle kit? Form a crowd, stay loud! #AbolishiCE

4 min frequency can’t come soon enough to Downtown Seattle. The train was packed and there were at least 50 people left on the platform just waiting to get home.

Reason #679 that I love not owning a car: I will never have to scrape ice or frost off of windows. I saw a lot of folks doing that on my bike ride to school drop off and was very thankful my bicycle is window free.

“protesters” are not “clashing” with law enforcement. violent federal agents have waged war on minneapolis and regular people are telling them to get the fuck out. and last time i checked being in a group chat doesn’t mean you’re in a professional organization. it means you have friends.

if someone punches your neighbor and you go to protect them, that does not make you a protester. that makes you someone who protects your neighbor.

BRINGING TRANSIT TO FAMILIES: The Preschool Program Transit Pass Program is expanding to Head Start families, thanks to funding from the voter-approved Seattle Transit Measure. Now, all families with children enrolled in Head Start will receive a free, unlimited-use ORCA card.

#WaElex HB 2307 to update the Commute trip reduction law is having a hearing on Wednesday! Sign in pro to show support : app.leg.wa.gov/csi/House?se...

I am very excited about Nilu Jenks’ run for D5!

I narrated this timely new @communitytransit.bsky.social video about transit and equality. MLK Day and Rosa Parks Day are coming up!

I am so excited to join the Emerge Washington 2026 cohort! It is an honor to learn from and with so many amazing women and elected leaders. Who knows where this path will lead!

just cooked up with the idea to do a bridge replacement project and this is as affordable as i could make it (bridge circled in red)

One of the many reasons I love Seattle is that I can spot flowers in January. This was blooming today!

This is an irresponsible way to spend $15B of taxpayer money. We could likely slice off a few lanes and off ramps. Then we can also save money/ time applying for reconnecting communities grant money to fix the second it is done.

Trump administration: Record-high homelessness is caused not by housing costs but by mental illness and addiction. Also Trump administration: We're decimating the programs that treat mental illness and addiction.

We've gone from broken windows policing to breaking windows policing.

Formal meetings are useful and all, but so much interesting information and connections happen at the happy hour.

My house is next to I-5 where the ship canal bridge is down two lanes. Traffic is backing up way into the neighborhood with people driving alone and looking absolutely miserable. My daughter and I were counting the # of people in the back up and it was really only a handful. 13 on one block.

I created a new fiction blog https://tom.fucoloro.com/posts/i-created-a-new-fiction-blog/ ← New post on my personal blog.

I was inspired last week by the flexibility that new transportation investments offered me and wrote about it!

“It is the job of evil to keep you from doing your work. We have to keep doing the work through dark times.” -Toni Morrison Thank you to the Creative Fuel newsletter Spending time today making art, moving my body and cooking a meal for friend’s who just had a baby.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

It is really hard to make a slide deck when you are filled with rage and grief at the state of our country.

I am pleading with my Republican family to see what is happening. To say that it is wrong. I am disappointed. 💔

DHS Warns Any Action By Americans Will Be Treated As Domestic Terrorism

Today at the @sound-transit.bsky.social System Expansion Committee, Board Vice Chair Claudia Balducci announced the Crosslake Connection — the 2 Line across Lake Washington and the I‑90 floating bridge — has entered pre‑revenue operations. Test trains are running daily. 1/6

When in doubt, gather with people! I stopped by @eastsideurbanism.org meet up and it felt so good to chat with folks!

Want to support a general strike? Let’s do this!

I’m really excited about this change in commute trip reduction! This program helps get more folks commute benefits and supports our state in reducing Vehicle Miles Travelled!

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

on principle for my own sanity i try and avoid watching any videos, but my god, the photo of the bloody airbag next to a glove compartment overflowing with children's toys needs to be seen to understand what sort of atrocity went down in south minneapolis today

Is there work happening on a nationwide general strike? Maybe for the anniversary of the inauguration. This cannot stand. We must do something to show that we the people do not condone the violence that is happening at home and abroad.

Everyone deserves shelter, food, water & healthcare. Even the people you don’t like. Even the people you feel made “bad lifestyle choices” Even the people who you don’t think “contribute enough” Every person should have their basic needs met This shouldn’t be controversial.

“Victory isn’t an invitation to tune out. Victory demands effort from each of us every day.” Spoken by a true leader @councilmember-amr.bsky.social

Sorry, but triumphant claims about autonomous vehicle safety are wildly exaggerated. It's an open question whether today’s self-driving cars are any safer than those driven by humans. And if reducing crashes is the goal, that isn’t even the right question. My deep dive, in Bloomberg 🧵

I had so much fun doing a print and am excited to do more this year. One of my favorite parts of Winter is making art and crafting.

Wrote a thing: The carnage associated with fossil fuel is why speeding the transition to renewables is good for international stability as well as everything else. Fossil fuel is inseparable from violence, and dependence on it it has created a brutal world order....

My writeup on yesterday: Katie Wilson Takes Office as Seattle’s Unabashed Urbanist Mayor www.theurbanist.org/2026/01/03/k...

Fuck oil. Fuck war. I am sick of people getting rich off of killing people and the planet.

I have really loved winter break. No work, no school and no travel has made this time really relaxing. I do feel ready to get back to more structure and routine.
