Today marks the 100th post I'm making on BlueSky. I dedicate this post to President Jimmy Carter. He proved to be the embodiment of Human Dignity. Sharing my favorite poem, The Desiderata in memory of the rarest humans of our time. 🙏 💙 🦋

Guys! Katie Wilson has pulled ahead in the race for Seattle’s mayor!
They’re still counting votes and she’s only ahead by a hair (less than 100 votes!) but the trend lines are looking good!!

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

There are cases like this happening every day. Trump is the most pro-criminal president in history - if you are wealthy and have connections. Spare us the “Law and Order” bs.

The Supreme Court rejects petition from Kim Davis to reconsider its 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, effectively preserving Obergefell for a long time to come. Marriage equality is safe.

Do you support a change in Senate leadership after this surrender?
Not picking on Booker - we should ask this of literally all the no votes.

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium.
It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year.
So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.

Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.
Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.
Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.

Fighting against Trump isn’t enough. It's time for Democrats to show America what they're fighting FOR — and embrace the fresh, new voices leading the way. This week was a good start. Here's what else they need to do. https://youtu.be/Uzc57eD3cWI?si=fLGGWBf468q4aacc

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.
