A bunch of folks showed up to the Bothell City Council tonight to speak against a potential resolution affirming Bothell as a welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ people. Here was Bothell Mayor Mason Thompson's response.

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

Thank you @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov for committing to VOTE NO on the CR and cloture.

The Trump Administration’s decision to nuke its contract with TSA agents is a direct attack on unions and all democratic institutions. In response, our union stands ready to boycott air travel and honor any work stoppages initiated by our siblings in the TSA. ufcw3000.org/news/2025/3/...

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

This is interesting because the question is less what they will do as *legislators* and more what they will do as *politicians*. AOC is a member of the House minority, but she’s doing a lot of politics about all of this anyway.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

We got that win! Prop 1A beat the shit out of the corrupt, cynical, rizzless opposition by a large margin and now we've got $50M/year from our wealthiest corporations to build housing! Way to go @houseourneighbors.bsky.social

A USAID HR director sent out this email today to staff letting them know he was placed on administrative leave. “Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees.”

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Now in the #WALeg: a public hearing on Gov. Inslee's budget. Janie White, VP of WA Edu. Association, torches the budget's cuts to education, and says that progressive revenue like a wealth tax must be included to avoid harmful cuts.

A life dedicated to hate and small-mindedness. She is in hell.

Due to this idiotic statement, by a person who has proven his inability to distinguish truth from online propaganda, I just donated to Wikipedia. Please do the same.

Will be at the Seattle strike. Hope to see you there!

Between this and the overwhelming NYPD presence at the Amazon strike this seems like a great day to rob Tiffany’s or something.

THIS is why we can't have nice things. readsludge.com/2024/12/09/t...
