Pedro Pascal proves that sometimes the most masculine thing to do is to be vocally and unflinchingly supportive of vulnerable people.

To me Rowling exists entirely outside of the “should we support/work with artists with troubling views?” debate. She doesn’t just *think* her opinions, she doesn’t just *say* them, she’s a relentless 24-7 activist whose whole mission in life is terrorizing trans people.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

The gutting of HHS and the CDC will literally and directly lead to the sickening and deaths of millions of Americans, and many more globally. Far more than that will suffer needlessly. This is horrific.

Every time I see a headline about "looking back at the pandemic" I want to cry. Do you remember how often people got sick in 2019? Flu, cold, mystery illness, whatever. Do you remember? I bet you don't because IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS. I used to work in DAYCARE. I saw EVERYTHING. This is not normal.

Protect your kids. "Natural immunity" (aka getting infected) does confer a certain protection against re-infection. But the risk of death is roughly a THOUSAND times greater than it is from vaccination. And even if the disease doesn't kill you, you'll likely spread it to others.

Keep this in mind: The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was carried out by executive order—from the President of the United States. 🧵

What else is there but our health? 🤔

No one’s existence is an affront to you. Anyone saying otherwise is trying to manipulate you.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Japanese Americans in Washington were driven from their homes, separated from their families, and isolated in poor conditions in internment camps. That damage remains. Never again. On this Day of Remembrance, I commit to standing up for all residents of our state.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

I’m supporting State Senator Marcus Riccelli and Representative April Berg’s legislation to pass free school meals for all Washingtonians. Right now, the child of a single parent working 40 hrs/week making $19 an hour does not qualify for free school meals. That must change.
