Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

This is so good!

From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT: "Trump covers up crime with scandal. That is his main propaganda tactic, the one few seem to be able to discern...The crimes are much worse than the scandals, but the media will always take the scandal bait."

There's a request for $5 million in the WA state budget to help fund Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network's deportation response hotline. Might wanna let your legislators know this is a good idea... southseattleemerald.org/news/2026/01...

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

I’m so excited to read with incredible poets and fellow former fellows Bill Carty, Laura Da' and Shankar Narayan at Hugo House in Seattle on February 25. Come out and join us - followed by drinks at the HH bar! ❤️📝🥤 hugohouse.org/event/_2026-...

every time someone has asked me the last week or so about priorities it is rental assistance. please please please people need rent to stay in their homes. scroll down to rent relief funds and pick something www.standwithminnesota.com

The brave people of Minnesota have shown us the way – to stop ICE’s reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN. We join their call to expand Friday's general strike across the country. On Friday, January 30, join a nationwide day of no school, no work and no shopping.

The administration that spent the first half of 2025 telling us there was nothing wrong with coordinating literally classified war plans on Signal now is saying that it believes it’s a crime to post publicly available information on Signal.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

If you read one thing today, let it be this: “An Elegy for My Neighbor, Renee Nicole Good: Fellow poet Danez Smith memorializes the Minneapolis mother's call to witness” ❤️💔 www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

In Seattle and beyond, hyperlocal community fridges give neighbors a chance to feed each other. @uofwa.bsky.social faculty member Emily Hovis is working to ensure the food is safe in collaboration with the Urban Freight Lab and other partners. deohs.washington.edu/hsm-blog/com...

I love this idea so much: Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife just released an anthology of poetry and art exploring how each of the state's ecoregions is being affected by climate change, and how fish & wildlife managers are responding. I just ordered my copy.

Can't stop hearing "It's Giving Tuesday" as "It's giving...Tuesday"

Looking forward to reading with @heidiseabornpoet.bsky.social and many other wonderful pressmates at the Cornerstone Press virtual reading this Thursday eve, Dec. 4 at 4 pm PT! I'll post the link below when it's available.

Hey Seattle voters. The mayor's race may come down to a slim margin of votes, so check TODAY to make sure your signature was validated and ballot was counted. There are easy steps to correct things if your ballot was rejected: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

I loved working on this story about UW undergrad Leo Diaz's work in Yijie Geng's lab. They are studying how pesticides influence autism, and how a chemical naturally produced in our gut might have promise as a future treatment.

We are just one day out from the Seattle local elections! Only 17.6% of King County voters and just under 20% of Seattle voters have returned their ballots. So far, only 1 in 17 young gen Z voters have voted, compared to more than 1 in 3 boomers. Don't forget to vote if you are eligible and want to.

I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.

Enormous news for US literature. A new, Mellon-led, $50 million fund for nonprofit literary orgs and publishers. Closest thing we've ever had to it was Mellon and Wallace in 1991, which, in today's dollars, was still less than half this. Open call begins Nov 10. literaryartsfund.org/about/

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

just no

Thanks so much to @lynnelamberg.bsky.social and @sciencewriters.org for featuring my chronicle of trial and error in creating AN INTRODUCTION TO ERROR and finding a wonderful publisher in Cornerstone Press. Also a glimpse of the many books that inspired mine. 🙏🏻📚 www.nasw.org/member_artic...

Join us tonight! 🎉

AN INTRODUCTION TO ERROR is out today from Cornerstone Press! Join me in celebrating mistakes and uncertainty. 🙈Thanks a million to Eunice Kim for the beautiful cover art, Rosanna Warren, and everyone who has supported this book making its sidewinding way into the world. ❤️

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Some good news: *everyone* is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in Washington State, and it *will* be covered by your insurance!

"So yes, the governors of the west, of Washington, Oregon, and California, will take up the efficacy of science."

I'm so excited to be launching my debut poetry collection, AN INTRODUCTION TO ERROR, in conversation with the brilliant Sarah DeWeerdt! Come out and join us at Elliott Bay Book Co. on Sept. 18 at 7 pm. Cosponsored by @nswa.bsky.social. www.elliottbaybook.com/events/47800

No one would be confused about what's happening if you saw it in another country. No one.

I never met Steve Gilbert, but I wish I had -- the stories of his incredible toxicology research, outreach and advocacy (plus winemaking and winetasting clubs!) are legendary. It was inspiring to work on this memoriam piece. deohs.washington.edu/hsm-blog/mem...

Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com last night: "We do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge. We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country."

It was “win-win” research for shellfish & crop farmers. Then the USDA canceled it. DEOHS faculty Sarah Collier's project helped shellfish farmers find a market for seaweed that smothers their oyster & geoduck harvests by testing it as fertilizer. @uwnews.uw.edu deohs.washington.edu/hsm-blog/vid...

Over the weekend, we received the sad news that two of our @realchangenews.bsky.social vendors were detained by ICE at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, WA. Real Change is mobilizing quickly to provide assistance to the vendors and their loved ones. www.realchangenews.org/support-ice-...

Seattle folks, please vote by tomorrow! This is a critical primary, a chance to elect much more progressive folks to lead our city. I'm supporting: ✨Katie Wilson for Mayor ✨Erika Evans for City Attorney ✨Dionne Foster and ✨Alexis Mercedes Rinck for City Council www.thestranger.com/stranger-ele...
