Ninth Circuit just ended appeals from denial of anti-SLAPP motions in federal court, overturning 20+ years of precedent. From a practical standpoint, massively consequential case. From a principled standpoint, major blow to free expression. Bad.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

As much as possible, we should do things fascists cannot do.

As much as possible, we should not do things fascists want us to do and we should do things fascists don't want us to do.

Never accept the fascist offer.

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

Good. The COVID vaccine is safe and effective, yet RFK Jr. and Trump are pushing anti-science conspiracy theories.

Glad to see my state stepping up and keeping our residents healthy. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
No prescription needed in WA for updated COVID vaccine
The state standing order is not a requirement nor a directive, and instead aims to improve access to the vaccine for anyone who wants one.

This is just more re-litigation of old man grievances.
