The crowd at my corner in Mountain View, CA, is only a couple of hundred or so, but we do have an axlotl and àl wizard. And it's still early.

"I'm damn proud to be a Seattle Mariner"

Ichiro went into to the Hall of Fame 2 weeks ago. That was a celebration of Ichiro the pioneer, the baseball legend. Saturday was a celebration of Ichiro the Seattle staple

Oh, and he's getting a statue next year

SEATTLE -- No. 51 didn’t mean anything to Ichiro Suzuki when he was drafted in 1991. Like all of the Orix Blue Wave’s picks, he was assigned a number. Ichiro just happened to get No. 51. Saturday -- 3...

Great shot of the turnout in Medford, OR

#NoKings Medford, OR
Lots of American flags (and a fair number of LGBTQ+ flags and a few Mexican and Ukrainian). LOTS of cars honking in support. (Pretty much continual.) Lots of drivers and passengers taking video as they drove by.

Maybe seven or eight drivers expressing MAGA sentiments.

The @aclu.org went more than usually above beyond, got SCOTUS (except for those 2 f-ers; you know who they are) to halt deportation of more Venezuelans. If you've got $, donate to ACLU. If you don't (many of us just don't right now), spread news of their work to everyone.

The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.

Tell your Senator to reject this harmful legislation.
Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

"The story captured, as few did, the breadth and ferocity of the coming attack on the federal government."
NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.

It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism, our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.
The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy
Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story ...

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Gov Mills: See you in court

This is the story I've been hoping to see written for weeks.
Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

I know it goes without saying - we are all going to have to walk and chew gum at the same time: protest bigly, care for others more vulnerable, care for our own souls, take breaks, work with others to make a difference. Stand up for our values. Put your feet on the ground with presence.

Most of the press coverage right now is (rightly) focused on the #PalisadesFire, but the other side of LA is burning as well.
Stay safe, my friends!
#EatonFire disaster unfolding. This fire has many parallels to the Marshall Fire, Tubbs Fire, Lahaina Fire, Camp Fire and other major WUI disasters of the past decade. Damaging downslope windstorm (gusts 65+ mph) at night on top of extremely dry fuels. Please evacuate. #Pasadena #CAwx
