@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social I lean Katie, but I have an urgent question I haven’t seen addressed anywhere. I feel it’s incredibly important that Seattle’s mayor be prepared to stand up to Trump & S.Miller’s attempts to crack down on cities like Seattle. Has Katie addressed this? What’s her stance?

amazing restaurant, then karaoke, more food & drink until 2 AM. It would kill me now, but it was glorious. In Japan Itagaki-san was like a rock star; I asked him once why he did the biker jacket/shades look in public, & he said “Because they expect it of me.” I’m grateful to have known him. RIP.

Good advice here for anyone going to a No Kings Day event: 1) Turn off biometrics on your phone so no one can force their way into it, & 2) Turn on data synching over network so any photos/videos you take will be accessible later if your phone gets taken.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?
Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Note that last sentence, Guard members.
I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
