Love to see it! I voted for Rocco for a dozen or more reasons, but his receptiveness to community feedback and his quick action is up there!

This move reads as:

- Ceding leverage at the exact moment leverage mattered.
- Treating a moral crisis like a scheduling inconvenience.
- Asking people who are already being harmed to “wait two weeks” while power protects itself.

The DOJ says no court has the authority to enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act... and they did it in the middle of the night so it wouldn't make a big news splash.

I've been droning on about #StochasticTerrorism for years, aimed at both under-resourced communities and 'left' elected officials. Here's yet another example of it in action.

Are ICE agents wearing Southern Brotherhood prison symbols, or...?

(Around 14 seconds in, "1423" can be seen on an agent's helmet. "1423" (or 14/23) refers to a widely known white supremacist phrase, snd the "23 precepts".)

Fat women are told we can’t lead, can’t fight, can't win... yet here I am, having done all three, and teaching others to do it with joy, strategy, and a little bit of righteous chaos.

Come see me at #FatCon in Seattle this January ! 🎟: www.eventeny.com/events/fatco...

Anyone else spend an inordinate amount of time at the Puget Sound VA? I'm here three days a week while my husband undergoes treatment, and there's a guy who waits for me in the lobby so he can walk a few feet behind me and comment on my ass... and I would happily welcome a buddy to chill with!

The fact that I can score so well on a cognitive test at 6:55 in the goddamn morning on a random Wednesday while I wait for my partner at his VA appointment is less a testament to my intelligence and more a brilliant display of the indisputable powers of espresso. *nods*

Today around 2:05 PM, eastbound on HWY 518 in SeaTac, WA, my husband & I were tailgated hard by this driver. We flipped each other off. We changed lanes, he races away, slowed & cut across traffic, rolled down his window and screamed “White power, b*tches!” while throwing up a Nazi salute.

I spent the last hour in the lobby of my doctor's office in Cap. Hill (Seattle), talking with an 80-year old farmer who lived on Vashon Island. Turns out she grew up TWO BLOCKS from where my family now lives, and her school is now our Safeway.

I love moments like this, especially now. 🥹

Does @colinmochrie.bsky.social like hugs? Or, you know, words of deep, deep appreciation?

Because I would very much like to give him both, whenever possible.

Hiring managers & boards: let’s talk about the knee-jerk side-eye toward “short stints” on resumes.

Too often, brief tenures trigger lazy assumptions - “flaky,” “disloyal,” “undisciplined.” That’s bias, not truth. 👇🏻

If people in power aren't using their power to directly, tangible benefit the people most at-risk in their jurisdiction, they should no longer be allowed to wield that power.

Dems (especially) included.

Excited to speak to a room full of leaders at next month's National Conference on Student Life in Atlanta!

We're heading to the National Conference on Student Life in November to help student leaders flip the script: leadership doesn’t just live in the White House or the Capitol — it starts in your city hall, your school board, your community. 👇🏻
