You have to send this link to everyone you know who voted I Seattle: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... It takes like 30 seconds to make sure your vote was counted. Folks on here have all seen this probably, but your friends and family might not have!

Hey, asking as someone who until recently was an editor at USA TODAY: What the fuck is this?
The Trump administration's Signal group chat leak may be the world's most relatable fail. Who hasn't added a stranger to a text thread or group chat?

A new study from @mmfa.bsky.social reaches the obvious conclusion: "The right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spaces"
This is, IMO, the single greatest threat to the left in the US, and the one to which it is most blind.

Packed house in Benaroya Hall last night to listen to Ta-Nehisi Coates!
It was such a privilege to listen to this dialogue on highlighting the importance of narrative as a tether between person & place, challenging myths of US nationalism, and the deeply personal & liberatory work of writing.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies.
She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas.
Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia.
I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

“I regret having to sleep out there so bad. I tell them, ‘I’m sorry, but I tried.’”
These kids deserved our protection. This mother deserves our protection. We are collectively failing one another.

This is what happens when you don’t focus on your local politics. Shady things happening with the Seattle city council. The mayor too. Billionaires are spending a lot of money on influencing Seattle politics. And certain members of your local government are team billionaire. #seattle #wa

Attended the wonderful @deanspade.bsky.social’s book release of “Love in a F*cked Up World” last night at Elliott Bay.
I’ve seen organizing spaces fall apart because of our messy relationships with one another. Dean’s book provides another tool for us to study and practice. Thank you! 💛🙏

If you're against adding housing supply because you don't think it will produce affordable housing, just wait until you hear what not adding supply does to housing affordability.

Always surprised how many folk on social media are unaware that highly visible women online regularly get threatened w/ rape and other violence. Happens to every woman w/ a substantial following I know, has for a decade regardless of platform. And no, authorities don’t care and that’s no solution.

Thank you for your service Tammy Morales! Unfortunately, I’m seeing a trend where both Kristen Harris-Tally and Tammy Morales decide not to continue representing my community in the Rainier Valley because the leaders of their party don’t treat them with the professionalism and respect they deserve.
