Imagine thinking @seattlebikeblog.com is "anti-climate action" because they're questioning the choice to allow Rivian to film an ad for an SUV on one of the ten weekends of the year that Lake Washington Boulevard is safe for people walking and biking.

Am I a misogynistic racist for sending this email to Liza Rankin, who represents me on the school board, asking some questions about a memo she wrote proposing more school closures? I just received this reply from a different school board director. I submit myself to the Internet’s judgement.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving
