Today I drove up to Seattle to visit with a friend who was visiting her sister and we all ended up at a gathering of campaigners for @girmayzahilay.bsky.social with @jayapal.house.gov! Super impressive. If you live in King County, consider voting for him and get your ballot in!

I walked to the coffee shop today and went home the long way, through the wooded trail in our neighborhood. It’s the time of year when the undergrowth gets greener every day.

Take a moment to sign this petition to save the NEH. They have started terminating previously awarded grants and are now putting dozens of staff on administrative leave.

Thank you, Obama! And more, please! We need former presidents and first ladies, former candidates, celebrities, and other big names to speak up, loudly. @barackobama.bsky.social
Obama weighed in yesterday

I wish @bsky.app would let us post longer videos

Protested against Musk, DOGE, and Tesla today with @teslatakedown.com

They’re holding another one in at the Fife Tesla dealership on March 29.

No oligarchy. No tech bro takeover. Not here. Not anywhere. Not ever.

Couldn’t agree more. Cause a scene. Hold your own press conference on the capitol steps. The country is being dismantled along with the world order. At the very least yell back. A. Lot.
This is precisely what the Democrats should do at Shitler’s address to the joint session of Congress. 👇🏻👇🏻

Yes!! @wyden.senate.gov Nice move. Let’s get other legislators on board. I’ve been calling @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov and Rep. Marilyn Strickland to ask them to do the same. An empty side of the chamber is much more powerful than attending and not applauding.

This was a bullying session, not an “argument,” @apnews.com

Headlines should tell the truth, not soften and normalize this behavior.

This is a beautiful explanation about the price of local foods by one of our bakers in Olympia — with a sweet (and generous) surprise at the end. Thank you, Meg, for making us delicious baked goods with love and for working to provide it for as many people as possible. ❤️ 🍞

I keep wondering if Trump voters are surprised? Angry? Not paying attention? TLDR: egg & energy prices ate still going up. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year.

Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools.

All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
