Just now, I asked my husband, "Do you ever think of how much richer you would be if you were evil?" *gestures in the general direction of stock market manipulation with a side of ableism and misogynist mother blame*

Quotes from canvassing for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social: "I saw her Goodwill video and loved it, she's an actual person!" "Wilson? Yeah she's a commie. But I don't like Harrell much neither, so we'll see."

Great news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 7.5% in August too! That's three months of solid data showing the pedestrianization pilot is good for business. Add your ideas for how to keep the momentum going into the fall: actionnetwork.org/letters/pike...

I decided I would write locally, connecting national and local issues, connecting present and past. That's the thing I think I can do and that's where I'm putting my energy. Find your thing(s).

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

Don't just panic about the EO; read the guide.

If you work for Cascade and want to talk anonymously, reach out on Signal (206-890-7366, which is also my cell number) or email me at [email protected].

"We do not yet fully understand why this decision was made and we will be meeting in Cascade PBS executives and management in the coming days to discuss the impact on our union members and the reasoning behinds these decisions," the Pacific NW Newspaper Guild said about the layoffs.

Recently, Mayor Bruce Harrell mocked his challenger Katie Wilson's proposal to fund local media with a democracy voucher-style program as a pointless giveaway to irrelevant "blogs." Losing local news coverage is a tragedy, and elected leaders shouldn't mockingly dismiss proposals that could help.

Cascade employees just won a four-yer union contract in May. During protracted negotiations with management, they highlighted the fact that the company's CEO made nearly $500,000 in 2023, including $74,000 in bonuses. The federal cuts amount to $3.5 million.

This is horrible news: When I look for informative reporting on politics and elections in Washington state, most of what I find and learn from is from Crosscut/Cascade PBS. This will leave a huge void.

hell yeah

"Lionel" sent us this photo from Bakersfield CA where pistachio harvesting season has just begun. He shared that when they were taking their lunch break it was 91°. #WeFeedYou #calor

anyone interested in ordering some stickers?

once again i implore you to read Judith Butler on Grievability

the guardian cut this from a piece judith butler wrote for them. the guardian targeted butler long before the american right did.

Judith Butler was decisive to my own intellectual development when they were at Hopkins. Watching the UC facilitate their persecution by dipshit wreckers in the Trump administration is enraging. Butler, in all their thorniness and range, epitomizes the centrality of the fight for academic freedom.

*extremely, deadly serious* protect judith butler at all costs

that's exactly right 🎨

As a father of three young children, I felt heartened this morning reading @prisonculture.bsky.social's latest newsletter and learning about the Abolitionist Toyery, a project where "second-grade students envisioned, designed, and constructed an imagined abolitionist community."

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? In our new politics issue, we're getting into it. Also, we're taking this cover across the US in billboards, posters and a mural. Clues to find us in the 🧵: www.wired.com/politics-iss...

If you're in need of some reassurance today: "...There are no new pains. We have felt them all already. We have hidden that fact in the same place where we have hidden our power. They surface in our dreams, and it is our dreams that point the way to freedom." -Audre Lorde

“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

I had a liberal friend in college who I found out was a huge Sam Harris fan. To them he was a signifier of civility and intelligence which turns out were more important virtues than Harris's underlying ideology. It's a false choice, but scary how many people would rather be seen as cruel than naive

Today I will be honoring Charlie Kirk’s legacy by soliciting money from billionaires who want to set the agenda of my platform and organization.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Trans people are people. Trans rights are human rights.

they're saying coffin flop's not a show. it's just hours and hours of footage of real people falling out of coffins at funerals.

awesome that conservatives get to lie about being victims and generate enough death threats to shut down an entire store
