People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Looking forward to the anxious Seattle Times editorial about how the extremist @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social shouldn't be mayor. Affordable housing! Transit! Safe cycling/walking! Humane responses to people in crisis! We are going to go STRAIGHT down the tubes. Didn't work in NYC; won't work here.

Re-upping this for no particular reason. 🥂 and ❤️ for Mamdani, and next it's @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social's turn! So much work cut out for us, but the wind is in our sails.

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

In 2021, progressives in NYC failed to come together and the result was four years of a disastrous, corrupt Adams administration. In 2025, Lander and Mamdani formed a united front, and the result is that they beat Andrew Cuomo. Give this man his flowers, he put the city above his ego.

If you read just one book this year—especially if you live in a city—it should be There Is No Place for Us. It's a beautiful, painful book that offers essential perspective for any consideration of our housing crisis.

to call this a crime against humanity is true but inadequate — it’s a crime against all creation

There are way too many things to be upset about these days, but I believe the destruction of public lands should be near the top of the list: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Ahhh, but the cyclist will need chocolate. And maybe plants for the garden, and the occasional meal out, and lots of books. Without the time spent paying for the car, and the time in traffic and looking for parking, she might get up to all kinds of trouble.

Have a Tesla, or stock? Unhappy about the state of the nation? SELL. You have leverage against one of our worst actors. As @billmckibben.bsky.social has said, it's a sin to have leverage & not use it. #TeslaTakedown has helped take the air out of the stock (today's robotaxi bump notwithstanding)...

I suspect—and my god I hope—that any cowardly, transactional, business-as-usual centrist Dem who has a true progressive challenger in the next few years HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE IN FOR. Imagining a world of folks like Mamdani and @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social running our cities...gives me life.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Holy shit: the King County Housing Authority is "sharing Flock license plate reader data with law enforcement agencies [including] the Texas authorities’ May search for the woman who had an abortion. The audit also suggests the data has been used to assist ICE & DHS." WTH, @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social?

Quite a long tail to what a little fame and fun can accomplish. Such a good reminder that cheeky goodwill can absolutely be a strategy.

Rushing headlong down the same legitimately dangerous paths because different political ideologies might get there 1st isn't "leadership," dude. Unless they're redesigned from the ground up, you're still talking about tools that do massive environmental damage & facilitate fascist authoritarian aims

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.
