According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world. The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

David Byrne and his gigantic band of blue-clad backing musicians squeezed into the NPR offices for a Tiny Desk Concert, featuring a pair of Talking Heads classics. Watch ↓

New nativity just dropped: Jesus is being born in the middle of teargas and state-sponsored terror. He is being ripped from his parent's arms and denied a lawyer. He is always coming into being in our context, and @lakestreetchurch.bsky.social's nativity makes that clear. Proud to be its pastor.

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

Eternal Silence in the snow, this morning at Graceland Cemetery

‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... via @seattletimes

Just want to point out that "Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis & Inuit Issues in Canada" has a new edition coming out in the spring of 2026 with a much expanded exploration of administrative definitions of Indigenous folks (and more).

Nice. Also Native Roots Radio every weekday on AM950, Minnesotas's progressive radio. www.am950radio.com/events/nativ...

Thankful for indigenous music. #ThingsTaken #DeadPioneers www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_wc...

Native musicians! (Personal recs, there are more, please weigh in!) Halluci Nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=232L... Black Belt Eagle Scout www.youtube.com/channel/UCas... /9

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

RIP early portrait of Jimmy Cliff 1980s

In Seattle, a democratic socialist won and we have the highest minimum wage in the country and a lot of center right and centrist voters are upset.... and yet, under 56% of registered voters actually voted... When people vote, things happen. Any movement needs to GOTV, otherwise bad things happen.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

This is the ad for which Trump thinks Democratic lawmakers should be executed:

Someone recently questioned me about whether I was actually being serious when I spoke of the serious threat posed to our nation. They wondered if I was fear-mongering about Trump. I wish I was. I really wish I was.

Thank you, @marisakabas.bsky.social. Tom Homan is a bitch!!

A harbor seal narrowly escaped a group of orcas by climbing aboard a boat rented by amateur wildlife photographer Charvet Drucker off Camano Island in Washington.

Almost certainly Seattle. Population went from 600k->800k, the city went from no rail system to a top-10 busiest network, region became an absolute economic powerhouse, there’s a total transformation of the waterfront, and so much more

After today, results updates will include any resolved signature challenges and whatever very small number of on-time ballots still arrive through the mail through the 24th.

If you’re in the Pacific Northwest, hope you can join us March 8 for the Java For Justice Brunch to benefit NWCAVE.org ‘s Advocacy Center for Justice. See you then! 💜 #InternationalWomensDay

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict: “I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything…. “That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants… Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

Jeanine Pirro tried to make an example of Sean Dunn. She ended up delivering a hero to Washington, D.C. www.huffpost.com/entry/dc-san...

The jurors did not swallow the government's case They had no appetite to convict The government tried to get them to bite, but couldn't So the jurors spit out an acquittal

Nancy Pelosi’s career has been a masterclass on leadership. The first woman to ever hold the Speaker’s gavel—and she did it better than most who came before her. From passing the Affordable Care Act to standing up to Trump, she never flinched. Madam Speaker, we salute you.

Breaking News: Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, a singer who helped shape the sound of the Grateful Dead in the 1970s, has died at 78.

This is brilliant

If you're mad about Daylight Saving Time, you could blame Benjamin Franklin, who first suggested the practice in 1784. His cheeky theory was that if people rose with the summer sun, they wouldn’t have to buy so many candles. Let your lower paraffin bills comfort you today.

Finally, a Will Smith that was actually supposed to hit something.

“Ohtani,” in Japanese, means great or large valley. “Shohei” means balanced or peaceful flight. Shohei Ohtani’s longest home run ever was a 469-foot peaceful flight out of a great valley on October 17, 2025.

Congrats LA. Great season Blue Jays. What a series!

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Art from July, 2025 🇺🇸 I do believe the Superman just socked this ICE agent in the jaw.
