Every Friday since March we hold a serious but FUN and LOUD Sidewalk protest in front of DHS/ICE (Seattle) headquarters in Tukwila. 9:00-10:30am. On this week’s Playlist, in tribute to our Portland friends, The Doors “Peace Frog”.

I’ve got no plans for Thanksgiving and it is so less stressful this way. The anxiety I had just thinking about going to my sister’s (20 people, lots of kids plus mostly MAGA adults) was nearly paralyzing. The relief I got when I texted I wouldn’t be there was heaven.

Yes. MacArthur Park is a protest song. No, it wasn’t written as one, but the metaphors apply, be they references to the Park, which was violated by Federal troops and forever tainted, or the ruination of American democracy itself. This is in Friday’s DHS/ICE protest playlist. The whole ten minutes.

That only Maxwell and Epstein were charged in the sex trafficking ring is another colossal Merrick Garland fiasco. It just can’t be overstated what an utter failure he was. It was within his power to save democracy and he just wasn’t anywhere near up to the task. I can’t imagine a more gutless AG.

Sooner or later (probably sooner) an armed, masked, unidentifiable ICE agent is going to get rightfully shot. Trump, Bondi, Noem, Homan et al will be thrilled.

My first formal remarks as mayor-elect: When I say, “This is your city,” I mean you have a right to be here, no matter your background. But I also mean that we have a collective responsibility to this place and each other.

Turns out cops can be useful for something after all! We had an equipment malfunction at this action, and the camera didn't record any audio. But my teenager asked if the cops would have bodycam footage, and after some jumping through hoops, we got it to show to you. #teslatakedown
We went to T-Mobile HQ to deliver 20k petition signatures incl 5k customers asking the company to cut ties with Elon and Trump. They called the cops and told us the company doesn't care what its customers think. Join the boycott: tmobileboycott.org #teslatakedown #BoycottTmobile #weaintbuyingit

Wild that seemingly every prominent person in the world was good friends with this one sub-literate already-once-convicted child rapist with zero apparent skills or non-rape interests. And none of them can quite explain why, other than 'well it certainly wasn't because of the child rapes.'

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.
We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.
We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.
And we won.
This is YOUR city!

I have never had this much confidence in an elected official: her vision, her strategy, her dedication to the people of Seattle and all that's best about living here.
It's hard to wrap my mind around, honestly.

I've neglected this effort in the last few days because [gestures wildly], but....please.
One of the very most basic responsibilities in a neighborhood/nation/society is that we take care of one another, and right now, SO MANY need us to step up.

Washington state friends! Of all the grim things happening, one of the very grimmest is going into winter with SNAP benefits about to disappear. I'm trying to raise $10,000 between now and the week before Thanksgiving for Northwest Harvest.
Please donate if you can!

We need dramatic, self-imposed, nationwide austerity. Until the oligarchs, conglomerates, and investor class feel some real pain, not much will change.

I want the government open and SNAP benefits and ACA subsidies resumed; Grijalva sworn in, and the Epstein files released. But I’m also kind of hoping for a complete air traffic shutdown just ahead of Thanksgiving.
