“…I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic…” #ITookTheOath

You may have heard about some undelivered ballots that were recently found in a dumpster. Here’s a thread of what you need to know.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Perfectly states what I've been saying for some time, now.

Mayor Wilson, Councilmember Foster, Councilmember Saka and I are teaming up to ban surveillance pricing at grocery chains in Seattle. Surveillance pricing is a harmful practice where your data is weaponized against you to price gouge. (1/2)

If the president votes by mail, then EVERY CITIZEN should be able to vote by mail.

Very funny, but I feel like The Daily Show could take it WAY further given the copious amount of even more bizarre material the Trump administration continue to provide daily...

Democratic Socialism: Myth Vs. Fact https://theonion.com/democratic-socialism-myth-vs-fact/

Two Democratic Washington state Senate hopefuls are headed for a recount as just four votes separate them for second place in the primary and a spot on the November ballot. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/08/17/w...

This is common sense and the truth.

This speech from Mercer Island councilmember Craig Reynolds in support of reducing barriers to building permanent supportive housing is a remarkable thing to hear from an elected official in Mercer Island. "NIMBYism is not an effective strategy politically."

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Jack Smith on MS NOW: "I'm very concerned of what's going to happen in the next election, absolutely."   "I think the state attorney generals have a tremendous role to play here … And I would also say that I think a thing that all of us can do is support election workers and election officials."

Warren: So we’ve got all these ways to lower the cost of housing. And Donald Trump just doesn’t care. And he openly says so. The guy who ran for president saying, “I will lower costs on day one.” Remember that? He ran for a year saying, “I will lower costs on day one.”

Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller & refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool & it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the Guard."

Just moments ago the President was supposed to sign a bipartisan housing bill here in the capital. Except, in a bizarre chapter, he didn’t and is a no show—because he says he’s mad at the Senate. Here’s what’s happening ⬇️👀

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here: Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track.  Spread the word. Stand up for science.

I wonder what $22 million injected directly into street and storefront activation in downtown Seattle would look like instead of office upgrades for county RTO.

In just 17 years, Seattle went from not having light rail to having the most ridden system in the nation. We’ve proven how leadership & investment can change a city and people’s lives for the better

"Courts weren't meant to stop this. ... It was intended that a corrupt criminal president like this one has to be removed by Congress. And it is not a question of politics, or polls, or talking points. It's a question of simple justice, and simply upholding our country as a nation of laws."

Dogwoods in my neighborhood are flowering 😍 #Bloomscrolling #Seattle

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

Protesters staged noise demo through the rich Seattle neighborhood of #Laurelhurst that lobbied against noisy helicopters flying sick and injured kids over their mansions to Children's Hospital. 🤪 It got a bit noisy.

Always close the door behind you in a fire to protect yourself and your neighbors. @fdny.bsky.social works hard to keep us safe, let's do our best to keep each other safe.

The Gaffe Faff: Wilson isn't Misspeaking. She's Delivering. In his latest Maybe Metropolis column, @joshfeit.bsky.social says Seattle's mayor hasn't been hiding anything—and that's what drives pundits like Danny Westneat bonkers.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Spring garden has sprung 💕

Remember Planthony? Well, we could use him again so here he is bringing us much needed levity in this growing dire times. And once again, if you’re in Seattle please visit his store

He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter. You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids. THIS is your president, America. Wake up.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Georgia election officials have less than three months to convert the state’s entire voting system from touchscreen machines to paper ballots, after the state Senate failed to vote Friday on legislation that would have delayed the conversion until 2028. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A very neat lab exercise! Having students sort through raked leaves to see what arthropods were lost to our tidying habits. I think this would work for high school too, with more instructor guidance (1/2) #teaching academic.oup.com/ae/article/7...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Instead of paying ICE to harass passengers at airports, we could be using the money to hire more air traffic controllers to keep them safe.

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022. New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year. And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics. We still have power to fix the system.

Lieu: "Undocumented immigrants want nothing to do with the govt! To vote, you have to first register. How many undocumented immigrants are gonna go, 'Yes, I'm gonna give all my information to the govt that's maybe trying to deport me. No way!' This is a problem that doesn't exist."

It’s amateur hour for the politicians at the Pentagon and White House in charge of this war. This is not a video game. And there is absolutely no excuse for the Trump operation to dishonor this nation by raising campaign money off the images of our war dead.
