I’m in Ballard this evening for a town hall with Councilmember Dan Strauss. He mentioned the Sound Transit board proposal to cancel rail to Ballard, to loud boos in the room. He repeated that it would be unacceptable. And it is. We will *not* allow the board to stop rail to Ballard.

“I was expecting an attack on climate science,” Dr. Marvel said. “What I was completely unprepared for was an attack on [all] science, because it is a means of finding out and telling the truth.”

When people ask me about restoring trust in higher ed, there's a reason I bring up presidents calling the police on their students and how I find it curious those students' trust is never a concern

oh not just any drone strikes! makeshift suicide drone strikes piloted by Blackwater mercenaries! in city streets!

🧵My grandfather was an ILGWU shop steward, so I learned this story as a child. Erik tells it excellently, as he always does.

This Day in History... March 25, 1911: In one of the darkest moments of America’s industrial history, the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory in New York City burns, killing 146 workers. Or, as today's Corporate Republicans refer to it, "rightsizing"

Context for the abstention of Canada (plus Australia & New Zealand I'd guess): in light of the horrors of colonialism inflicted on Indigenous peoples in this country, Canada could not vote to affirm a different crime against humanity as 'the gravest'.

If he'd even bother to look things up, he wouldn't be confused by "gut flora". I'm not a botanist or even a microbiologist, and even I know your GI tract doesn't have plants growing in it!

“Haphazard and irrational” describe all things Trump

The most corrupt government in history. This is beyond infuriating.

It never ends

How did I know this instantly? Because Trump is Trump? Because Trump is Trump.

“Aircraft should always be vehicles of peace, never of war! No one should fear that threats of death and destruction will come from the sky,” the pope said, “After the tragic experiences of the twentieth century, aerial bombardment should have been banished forever!”

The beauty of Effin' Birds cartoons is that they have so many applications in an array of contexts.

The Revolutionary Guard "diffused operational freedom to various subunits, spread out across the vast country, and utilized analog communication such as motorcycle couriers. That design limits the impact of enemy precision strikes, and helps the overall force withstand decapitation attacks."

We have the 25th Amendment for a reason.

"Douglass's feminism wasn't a bland assertion of ethereal 'natural rights,' but an assertion of human fullness of being, of granting woman 'the fullest opportunity to exercise all the powers inherent in her individual personality, and allow her to do it as she herself shall elect to exercise them.'"

They are terrified of a world where everyone remembers MAGA and Christianity are incompatible faiths www.themirror.com/news/politic...

So I assume every single person arrested in the courthouses will be released? And those who have been deported will be brought back? And the lawyers and officials who sought to deceive the court will be punished, perhaps with fines, jail time, and disbarment? Or will it just be another shrug?

Are we literally forcing conquered territories to pay tribute and build statues to their subjugator?

Shocker! #DUIHireHegseth doesn't know what the F he's doing except exacting retribution & cosplaying head of "war fighting," when he's not bootlicking #WarPorn Trump (who's looking to throw him under the bus 🤣). Anthropic notes the obvious in its complaint... 🧾 www.allrisenews.com/p/anthropic-...

There is simply no medium-term future in which the U.S. is a democratic republic and SCOTUS isn’t at least unpacked, if not massively reformed.

😆 At least the caller got straight to the point. Sessions gets a morsel of credit for not dismissing the caller as having Trump Derangement Syndrome. That would have been the default when Trump was riding high. The weak tea is now "trying to work w/Ds on bipartisan basis." Lol. 📺 is.gd/TMj2XI

"so much winning, you'll say 'Stop! STOP!"

Narrator: And they did forget.

If this was a Democratic president, the media would never let us hear the end of it. Yet here we are...🦗🦗🦗

🎯"Trump isn't completely oblivious to the existence of other people. He needs to spend time in his bubble of narcissism, but one of his other primal needs is the need to hate everyone who disagrees with him."

“The special counsel’s office found that Donald Trump held on to documents so secret that only six people could legally review them — and the team believed his reason for doing so was financial gain.” www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

Something remarkable happened this week: a Substack post helped expose and remove the first-ever ICE 287(g) enforcement agreement with a K-12 school district in the United States. Here's what we know. 🧵

I’ll be in Charlottesville for a book event at the end of April and then … I guess I need to get to work on fall but there’s a lot of family stuff sapping my will. So yall can just invite me if you’d like to be my best friend forever.

GOP voter fraud conspiracists commit VASTLY more voter fraud than any other demographic. Also, water is wet.

Refreshingly clear-headed interview. More congressmembers like Delia Ramirez, please!

NEW: Raskin says DOJ inadvertently handed over a “damning” FBI memo that alleged Trump: - Had a classified file only 6 ppl had access to - Showed a classified map to passengers on his plane - Had docs “pertinent to certain business interests.” @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/03/25/t...

Sad to report that the enemy gets a vote

notable that Sessions doesn't seem to disagree

Credit where credit is due. It is impressive that the administration could summon not one, but two, humanoid robots.

IF... Trump is EXTREMELY lucky, that is! And even then, there's no way in hell the deal will serve as a foundation for further negotiations in the future, leading to a liberalization of Iran's relationships with the world & its internal politics.

Indeed, why would our community support such extreme policies? We know that immigrants built America and get the job done! Let’s make the administration of immigration what it was before 2003: a civilian agency, not a masked paramilitary. SamForNJ.org

Great read. Congratulations Anna!

I am still unclear why (some) guys care so much about masculinity, as opposed to just being a decent person and finding what and who you love, but if they must, THIS.

If only there were some history the techbros could read to see why they have never really won with their war against humans teaching humans. 🫤

Two seats in Florida flipped blue.

A good excuse to share my younger son Kyle’s amazing National History Day exhibit on the fire.

Generative AI video being almost immediately used to make things like insanely racist/misogynistic content and the AI companies themselves being like "clearly this revolting slop should be the future" colors ppls perceptions of the tech for pretty obvious reasons.

The right's 300-year war vs teachers won at last! "Using only software, no textbooks or homework, the classrooms are also purged of traditional teachers and replaced with 'guides' who are instructed to motivate students as they complete their virtual lessons."

Obama's nuclear deal not looking so bad now, is it folks?
