SEIU Healthcare 1199NW workers TOMORROW are calling for wages that keep up, strong benefits, and a fair disciplinary process at Community Health Care clinics across Tacoma, Spanaway and Puyallup. ✊🏻 Will we see you there?

WA mutuals: please sign OPPOSE on this bill, which would allow retention of license plate reader data for up to 21 days and allow back door access to the data by other agencies. I’ll post a template you can copy and paste below, or you can write your own. DO THIS BEFORE 5PM 1/6 (today)

Finished! So here it is, the first book I've read in 2026. #booksky #pemachödrön

Not into the NFL or football at all, whatsoever. I don't follow it, watch it, or even know half the rules. But... ...it IS pretty freaking cool, when the whole city you live in, is all feeling excited, celebratory, & hopeful, together. 🥰🥹 #seattle #seahawks

Sunset is in just under two hours... that's right, today's Seattle's first 5pm sunset of 2026!!! 🎉

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.

Got a candle in my window tonight here in Seattle. #alexpretti #fuckice

Well, in less horrific/violent news... Striking #Starbucks workers set up their own bake sale (big tables & everything), like 2 feet from the main door of the Greenlake Starbucks! & are out there selling pastries this morning. (Sorry didn't get a pic, just passed them on the bus!) #seattle

Temps are in the upper 20s this weekend in Seattle. Warm clothes are needed for people living outside. Reach out if you have clothes and can drop them off in Interbay this weekend!

An interactive exhibit at @mohaiseattle.bsky.social ,asks "how would you redesign the city?" Museum visitors can write ideas on post-it notes, for other folks to see. I was there this AM & stopped to read a few. The ones that looked like kids' handwriting,esp stood out. #fucktrump #nokings #seattle

Free window decor~

Here's an easy action you can take right now: Add this phone # for @waisn.bsky.social to your contacts so you know where to call in ICE activity if you see it: 1-844-724-3737. Acronym SALUTE helps you remember most useful things to document & share: Size, Action, Location, Uniform, Time, Equipment.

Spreading the word!!! #standwithnurses #Tacoma #Multicare

YES!!!! Theatre artists in defiance of Fascism! These (local!) folks deserve our love & support for their decision!!! ❤️ #seattlechildrenstheater #kennedycenter #theatrenews

ICE agents pose as utility workers to get inside immigrants’ homes to detain them. The utility company has posted guidelines on how to recognize real utility employees. I have no words!

Been thinking about how, if we end up in a huge world war -- laundry will still have to be done. Kids will still need breakfasts, dishes will still have to be washed, dogs will still need to be walked. It doesn't all suddenly stop. And.. for some reason... this very obvious fact is blowing my mind.

3 days ago, ICE was in my neighborhood , a 3-min walk from my apartment, hassling a neighborhood business. Just finding out about it. #Seattle, I'd like to follow #Twincities example & be able to show up for our neighbors in real time. But, aside from binoculars at my window 24/7...um...how??

In a country with an actual free press, the photo of that poor old man would be the cover of every single paper with a headline that reads ENOUGH.

Hi fellow white folks: It's almost MLK Day.This year, could we PLEASE think & read up, before we click "repost" on cherry-picked, out-of-context, clipped Dr. King quotes?? Ya know, the ones that some of us always embarrassingly post every January, just to make ourselves feel warm & fuzzy?? Thanks!

Hell yeah, this is what I'm talking about!!!! Over FOURTEEN THOUSAND of us commented on SB 5855, Washington!!! (Is it a small thing? Yes... but a small thing is still *something*!) Let's keep getting our voices heard in Olympia!!!! 🎉 #waleg #sb5855 #fightback

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

I need my seattle neighbors to be taking notes because this shit is coming to us, the world cup is coming to us, start organizing now. Learn your neighborhood environment. We got hills these ICE fucks could never walk up. Train the glutes. Buy an umbrella (not for rain). Etc.

Don't be fooled by the latest text scam threatening fines, license suspension, and legal action if you don't pay a fake traffic ticket. 🙄 We NEVER send messages likes this. Please don't respond to such texts or click any links. Do not pay. Simply mark as spam and delete.

#Seattle weather today may be the highlight of my week. Wow... Freaking glorious!

WA state peeps! You still have 2 hours to comment on SB 5855, which will BAN face coverings for law enforcement officers in our state! Please! Take a minute to add your SUPPORT for this bill! Fuck ICE & everybody else who's too ashamed to show their damn faces!! #waleg #washingtonstate #wa

Local folks: Seattle PFLAG & King County Library is hosting a (free!) Zoom chat/ workshop, "How to Show Up for the LGBTQ People in Your Life". This Tuesday, Jan 13th from 6:30-7:30 pm. 🏳️‍🌈 More info at the link. Feel free to share! #kingcounty #seattle #pflag

Unsolicited advice for anyone on Bluesky who wants to fight fascism in 2026 - don't stress about following big national accounts. Instead, follow LOCAL groups and people who are doing actual work on the ground. Join them and do stuff right in your community. THAT'S where the real action is. ❤️💪

Got to catch the Jim Henson-themed show at Greenwood Art Collective tonight ! It goes until 10 pm if you're nearby and looking for something cool to do tonight, #seattle ! #greenwoodartwalk #seattleart

This is today, #Seattle ! Free admission to @burkemuseum.bsky.social and @nordicmuseum.org ! Fun fact: visiting a museum can be a nice little break from news/doom scrolling and absolute despair.

REALLY impressed by how North Seattle College has prioritized addressing food insecurity for students. I worked at several community colleges from 2009-2018 & NEVER saw anything like this. Maybe other colleges are doing this too, now. I hope so! I just don't know. But anyways, great work, NSC!!!

This is 2 weeks old now and you've all probably seen it already... But I somehow just now saw it for the first time. Sharing in case anyone else missed it. 🥲❤️

Happy Back to School day, Seattle!

"how much could it cost to run a petro state, michael"

It is Katie Wilson day in Seattle!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Whew.... The grossest of the New Year's rituals is complete! (Cleaning out the fridge!)

Finally! Woohoo!!! #pokemongo #pogo

"Enjoy what may be your last merry Christmas." -Donald Trump, in one of his (many) social media posts addressed to the nation, on 12/25/2025 Well gee, ok....Glad THAT isn't super ominous or anything. 🫠

I watched Tinsel Town last night, which I KNOW is an objectively *terrible* movie.... But I got teary-eyed anyways, because, ya know what, live theater really *IS* SO powerful & SO important! 🥹❤️🥲 #christmasmovies

Sorry, interrupting your scroll of Bad & Ominous news...with this story about @ricksteves.bsky.social saving the Lynnwood Hygiene Center just in time for Christmas!!!

Just FYI in case anyone's interested, when you put a bunch of emojis after your screen name it makes it unnecessarily challenging for people who use screen readers to read your posts and follow you. The screen reader will read out every single emoji description every time you pop up in their feed.

At 41 years old, I was not remotely the oldest person at New Student Orientation day today at the community college. And this, my friends, means this school is doing something very, very right. ❤️

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

Call for support! Seattle! Tent Cities have been wind-blown and rain-battered by the unforgiving weather - tarps and tents have been damaged - replacement blankets/sleeping bags. - Any donations would be greatly appreciated to: Tent City3 at 2720 S. Hanford & Tent City4 at 12531 28th Ave NE ⛺️ 🧺 ❤️‍🩹

Ooh....power just went out here in the U-District! 🌧🌬 #seattlewx #pnwweather #seattlecitylight

I'm 4 minutes into a movie called "A Christmas Karen" on Roku channel. Main character is, of course, a white lady named Karen. The summary promises that she's about to be visited by 3 ghosts... who, in the spirit of Christmas, will teach her to change her Kareny ways!

Now, this is the real Hillbilly Elegy. #MuppetChristmas

Somehow just now listening to Jennifer Nettles' solo Christmas album (released in 2016). I've seen her live twice - both by herself & on tour with Sugarland - and, still, still, still... her rendition of "Go Tell It On the Mountain" is taking my freaking breath away. #christmasmusic

Holy hell. Go Now evacuation order issued for Tukwila after the Green River levee breaks. Seattle metro area itself was managing to avoid the worst of the flooding so far, but it looks like our luck is running out... komonews.com/news/local/f...

Yeah so working a full shift at a physically-intensive job, on 2 hours of sleep = not an experience I'd recommend, it turns out 😂
