Greetings from Belltown, where a vacant Starbucks continues to act as a blight on the neighborhood. Oh wait. It's a local coffee shop with better coffee that also does apprenticeship programs.

I was just as shocked with the news about the route 2 bus only lane as you. We are working on it. We need to prioritize pedestrian safety and not go backwards on our transit investments.

What Pike Place Market shop owners think about keeping out cars
The debate over closing Pike Place to cars is on again, now with Mayor Bruce Harrell weighing in. A walk around the Market shows even business owners are split.

Pod Save America brought on Bill Maher to spew easily disproven anti-trans talking points.
They keep saying they’re not anti-trans and trying to walk back statements they make.
I have offered to go on their show to talk.
I’m offering again now.
Talk to a freaking trans person.

Cristopher Wray politely resigning when Trump asked is one of the all time most feeble, pathetic, cowardly things I’ve ever seen
Wray could have been there to defend the bureau in the initial stages at least of Trump’s attack on the institution.
Wray: resigning is "the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work"
Meanwhile the FBI is being purged and a compromised, conspiracy-added Trump lackey is being put into place

Scott Wiener is right. Donald Trump and the GOP want more gay men to get HIV. There's just no other reason to do this.
CDC’s clinical guidelines for PrEP — which all but eliminates HIV risk — have been removed from CDC’s website. This is what you get when you search.
Expanding PrEP access is essential to end HIV infections.
They want people to get HIV as some sort of punishment for being immoral.

i have written about this before but i have become extremely civic republican virtue pilled as a result of all of this. democracy will not work without an active effort to cultivate virtue among ordinary people!
trump is unique in that his depravity creates the very cynicism he feeds on. it is necessary to uphold the idea that we are capable of better even if that belief is counterfactual. which is why we need to tell the bureaucracy that their work is valued and that they are holding the line for us.
Taking the President's symbolic roles as essentially being the central rituals of American civic religion, Trump's inability to perform them- to actually be presidential- signals that the civic religion is hollow and without power, that there are no consequences for blaspheming it.
