Sooo ready to vote cure for days if need be. But I don’t think it’s gonna be needed.
Really really really looking forward to Mayor Katie.

Good people, don't outsource anything you're not willing to lose....

Got to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time...
We've got work to do, but the wind is at our backs!

Gonna sleep like a baby tonight….
The country and the world are in dire shape, but in NYC, Seattle, Boston, and who knows where else, the good people of our cities are doing the right thing.
#Katie!

Goddamn I hate SeaFair. Chose the wrong time of day to take a walk, and now my ears hurt and my poor pup is panting and drooling with fear. Trying to help her, but I don't know how well earplugs work in canine ears...

Almost 20 years ago, Gus Speth came up with the eminently quotable: "All we have to do to leave a ruined world to our children is just keep doing what we're doing today."
He's still at it, here with thoughts on a climate-capable democracy: salazarcenter.colostate.edu/climate-capa...

Umm: “One has to construct a fake reality, mentally destroy evidence and keep attacking the reality-based part of the mind that sees the fakery.”

How have I not read The Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis till now?
Published in 2021. I think the “with no inner conflict” here is so telling; it’s why Trump’s AI action plan yesterday called for deleting all references to climate change. They can’t bear even to hear/acknowledge it.

Sure would be nice if we lived in a world where people took the many & dominant pro-social aspects of their religions to heart.
"The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

Several of my neighbors wanted @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social signs; for these guys on my corner, I wondered where to put it, since one side is densely planted with flowers…and settled on around the corner, next to the street sign. I guess they thought it wasn’t prominent enough, so they did this!

Great crowd at the rally for @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social! First speaker says “I certainly didn’t think my first endorsement would be for a white lady…but representation isn’t just about race…I am endorsing Katie because we need more movement people in government. This is OUR city”

This right here. The right has poisoned the American brain. If you haven’t read The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis yet, do!
It’s a quick and interesting read, and way way too timely.

Truly a “world is breaking” breaking news alert.
This is the threat that underlies all our more immediate threats, and we have to see them all at once.
Also, you’re welcome! For the picture of my adorable dearly departed last dog.

I don't delight in others' misfortune. But if this comes, I can make an exception.
IMHO, #TeslaTakedown is awesome, but it's Musk himself who's doing the real work here. People are repulsed by what he's doing, and (almost) no one wants anything to do with him.

Are you EFFING KIDDING me, @adamsmith.house.gov? THOSE are your options?
There's no text box on that form, so I'll tell you here: the correct answer is you should FIGHT LIKE HELL.
What are you even doing in office, if you're going to let a coup happen on your watch?
