Hahaha ok this makes me so happy
A screenshot from Cascadia Daily’s article: “In the Sedro-Woolley School Board races, voters have so far appeared to reject a group of candidates that presented themselves as ‘Sedro-Woolley's Dads’ who all received money from the Skagit County Republicans, including incumbent District 1 board member Brent Schiefelbein, District 3 candidate Tom Taylor and District 4 candidate Brad Worley.”

Sooo who’s gonna reopen all the cases these six were involved in?

#Seattle
By Shauna Sowersby, Seattle Times staff reporter. After years of lengthy court battles, the names have been released of four Seattle police officers who attended the deadly Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally in 2021 and have since fought to keep their names out of the public. Sgt. Jacob Briskey, Sgt. Scotty Bach, Detective Michael Settle and officer Jason Marchione were named in public records released Thursday. In total, six officers from the department were at the 2021 rally. Officers Alexander Everett and Caitlin Rochelle Everett, a married couple, were previously publicly identified and fired in 2021 after the Office of Police Accountability recommended terminating them. They were found to have trespassed at the U.S. Capitol and stood in the immediate vicinity as an “active insurrection” took place. Cascade PBS also identified Marchione in 2021 through anonymous reports.

Oof (in @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social)
“What I think in a sense is more impressive is that humans basically give no credit to any other creature for having a mind,” Safina said. Yet many other creatures, including orcas, understand implicitly that humans have minds. “So they understand us, and give us more credit there, they seem to comprehend the world better than we do, in our self-imposed estrangement.” This loneliness is a specifically Western affliction, Safina said, noting many Indigenous societies worldwide understand themselves to be in relation with a vast intelligence of other nonhuman beings. “They see the world as one big family, it’s only Western humans who continually ask or are afraid to say that other creatures are even conscious,” Safina said.

WELL. Got another book to read
Screenshot of text. Highlighted section reads, “As Richard Seymour writes in the book ‘The Twittering Machine,’ this avoidance of time’s actual flow, this compulsion toward the chronophage, the time-eater, is a horror story that is likely to happen only ‘in a society that is busily producing horrors.’”

*exasperated sigh* @kuow.org I know you have editors old enough to remember what Bruce said about former Mayor Ed Murray’s, a white man’s, sexual assault scandal. Should probably acknowledge that in here:
Screenshot of article: “Harrell, outwardly, has condemned sexism and racism during his time as mayor. When former Police Chief Adrian Diaz was involved in officer lawsuits claiming sexism and discrimination, Harrell hired a law firm to examine the harassment complaint process.”

These seem to be posted out in the wild around SU (but also, was reminded of the HUGE importance that is taking your social shares offline. Print stuff out or make stickers! Not many are chronically online, folks!!)
A poster on the streets reads: Prop 1A-ctual People • $50 million for social housing • Companies taxed on people who make more than $1 million/year • Gathered >38,000 local voter signatures to get on the ballot Prop 1B-ig Business • $10 million (80% less than 1A) • Paid for by robbing housing, equity & climate change fund • Created by politicians and promoted by Microsoft City council pushed this vote to February because they are betting renters won't vote

They’re known to work with police, at the VERY minimum to at least get them to back off/not pursue. And lol well #WALeg #WAelex —again, the WA chapter founder was just recently elected
AP3 may have splintered, but its former members have mostly just moved to other militias. John Valle, Seddon's former third in command, sees the movement's future as consisting of state and local groups, operating independently but coordinating on secure messaging apps. He said that the 286 members of his Washington chapter are now operating as their own independent group. They didn't want to get caught up in AP3's potential legal problems, but their mission remains the same. As Valle put it, "We're just rebranding."

The lists of @numb.comfortab.ly are iconic. SO useful. Thank you!!
A screenshot of the block lists: “Spambots and scammers (excessive automated replies and scammers, impersonators). Arrogant jerks and lousy trolls (people leading sad meaningless lives to be jerks to everybody just to feel something). Transphobes and homophobes (ignorant assholes jealous of other people’s happiness).” A screenshot of the block lists: “AI fanbois (dudes shoving AI down everybody’s throat). Crypto dweebs (crypto weirdos you want to avoid). Right wing propaganda and their followers (these people are here to ‘own the libs’, so mute them, block them, starve them of oxygen, let them stew in their own juices).” Instructions: select the list, tap subscribe button at the top, and select block or mute for the entire list.
