The ethical and legal damage will be with us forever but it’s the raging incompetence that will strike first, within the next few days.

Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

I'm starting to just weigh everything on a scale from chaos to stability, and that can't be good.

Maybe we're to the point where we don't just furrow our collective brow (the American brow!) and say, "I have concerns about the legality of this," and instead just ask ourselves if we want the world to operate this way.

I don't like Maduro either, because, you know, I like freedom and democracy, but if the US can just kidnap heads of state.. does that mean another country can come in and kidnap ours?

If I could get this kind of pep talk from @kelleyjrobinson.bsky.social every week, I think I'd be 200% more optimistic and 300% more effective. Math.

In 2003 I read a story by @thestranger.com about the Governor of Vermont who was running for President. I started volunteering there, have worked in politics and government ever since, and am now the Mayor of Kenmore, WA.

In Chicago, ICE entered a child care facility, grabbed an infant child care teacher, and traumatized kids and parents alike.

This Monday, Nov 10th at 8pm EDT, join us for the ICE Out of Child Care Centers and Schools Emergency Call. Details below.

This has been a really rough few days. I recently learned of a controversy around our book THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. Some were outraged that Deseret Book carried it (a chain of bookstores in the west). Deseret Book appears to have complied to their demands and removed it. 1/

Important conversation with @ebyard.bsky.social who clearly and concisely explains what you've been feeling in your gut all along.
On this week’s TLP episode, @imarajones.bsky.social talks with @ebyard.bsky.social about how anti-trans attacks in schools fit the right-wing authoritarian project, & with @neapresident.bsky.social on how communities and educators are responding.

A big part of why I use the ballot drop boxes is that WA has statewide standards for how the boxes get emptied & the ballots get transported. USPS doesn’t have the same requirements of care.

I’m grateful to @atg.wa.gov Nick Brown for leading a lawsuit demanding that Trump release funding that Congress already approved to keep SNAP benefits going in November so families don’t go hungry.

Republicans are using the government shutdown to illegally rip SNAP benefits away from 42 million Americans.

16 million children are at risk of going hungry. The extremists don’t give a damn.

You deserve better.
