Breaking News: The national suicide prevention hotline will no longer work with the Trevor Project or provide specialized support to LGBTQ callers under a new Trump administration directive effective July 17. nyti.ms/444VrdN

This is such a great point and isn’t made enough! We have a trans daughter but a mostly conservative extended family (and in-laws, to some degree), the exact people you’d expect would be awful on this issue. They have not been! I was prepared to do battle but we’ve been so happily surprised.

Seattle is so insane. How was I ever living without this

Fine, we'll make our own birthday party parade, with attendees and... well that's probably enough. Yesterday was exhausting and this joke isn't settling the way I'd hoped, but my point stands. You know what though? Forget the birthday party.

What an amazing start to our new lives in Seattle. Maybe this shit gets chilly in the winter, but this city is on fire with warm welcomes and righteous anger just now.

Seize this, Honkus!

No Kings Seattle. #nokings #Protests #Trump #Seattle

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I’m glad normies are watching this play out in real time. I felt insane living in Seattle in 2020 trying to explain to people that cops/military are ALWAYS the ones escalating things into violence

Today was amazing: 70,000 in Seattle, over 2,000 in the small town east of Seattle where we protested, and more than 5 million recorded in attendance nationally versus the already historic 3 million in April. That’s 14% of the population—well above the 3.5% rule and growing with every gathering.

Ok- Now that you’ve marched in a parade, and seen you are not alone, it’s time to get to work! 1. Call congress people with number who marched (over 100K in seattle area). 2. Go support people running protests and vigils at ICE and DHS facilities. 3. Report ICE sightings via socials or apps.

As of 2025, Seattle's population is approximately 764,753. 10% of Seattle showed up at /this/ protest and there were more than just this one.

Pine St. Seattle #nokings

A little after 2 p.m., Seattle police reported on X the stream of people heading from Capitol Hill was over a mile-and-a-half long. Police wrote: “And not a single report of property damage.”

Seattle wants no kings. Seattle needs no kings.

The city is saying 70,000 people showed up to the #NoKings Seattle protest. That's 3.1% of the total population of the county! www.king5.com/article/news...

Hell yeah, Seattle! I'm in there, somewhere! #Seattle #NoKings #fiftyfiftyone #indivisible

this was confirmed. they told seattle immigrants to go to the tukwila dhs as it would be miles away from any of the protests. please, if you can, show up to protect your community !!

1. Trans troops are now being separated from their jobs, and we have learned what discharge code they are being given: "JDK," a code that was used to remove communists and gay people, and can be seen as a "black mark" on their service. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

HONOR YOUR OATH, BITCH

I am as big a sucker as anyone for the fine-grained legal analysis, but I do sometimes worry it distracts us a little from the big, dumb, obvious points. This is appalling & precisely what the Framers were terrified of. Whether it’s technically legal if you squint right doesn’t change that.

He was also a committed slaveowner who brutalized the human beings he owned. He didn’t fight for honor.

My kids (who watched The 1618 Project with me in February) upon hearing about Brian Wilson: "Oh that band that stole from black people?" @nhannahjones.bsky.social

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

"There’s also a law on the books since 1866 that forbids placing the likeness of a living person on US currency. " So the question is... how badly do they want it? Suddenly the prospect doesn't seem so bad. Can we use his mugshot?

Harvard starting to 'get it' and opening up to everyone in the US with free, online civics classes about democracy is amazing. #EducationShouldBeFreeForAllAnywayHarvard #HowElseDoYouExpectToBuildTheFuture This is a good start. (sourced from Reddit)
