The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.

Tacoma leaders are considering whether or not to roll back eviction bans for affordable housing providers. Local landlords have asked the City Council for more freedom to remove people who are causing problems. But renter advocates say officials are moving to change these protections too quickly.

Faint northern lights a few minutes ago from Tukwila, WA. Not bright enough yet to be visible to my eye, especially surrounded by city lights. Best chances of brighter aurora looks like 7 to 10 pm tonight, if the clouds don’t come in too fast. #NorthernLights #WAWX

The Tustumena replacement’s ballooning price tag shows how the Jones Act’s U.S.-build mandate bleeds coastal Alaska and delays relief.

Come on, like Americans would ever start a revolution over tariffs on caffeinated beverages.
Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:
