It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

BREAKING: I'm placing a hold on President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC. For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening political opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech. His nomination must be blocked.

"[D]uring a presentation about an audit that found deficiencies in the Seattle Parks Department’s cleaning and maintenance of park restrooms, Saka argued against expanding public restrooms." Saka always goes above and beyond to disappoint. What a fucking useless CM and a dipshit person

Trump calling for the impeachment of a judge who ruled against him. Calling him “crooked.” If this isn’t fascistic, what is? (Also, the media will sanewash this but anyone else who talks or writes like this would be sent to one of the mental asylums Trump thinks migrants are coming from!)

Just after Tree Action Seattle's "Grandma Brooks' Cedar" debacle, Sandy Shettler and Kersti Muul are fighting tree removal along Beacon Ave. In this piece of "journalism" a resident is quoted without acknowledging her existing familiarity with Muul and support of TAS causes. She's another activist.

WA's biggest corporations (Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, T-Mobile, etc) are backing a campaign to push #waleg to not raise taxes even if it means massive cuts to public services. Yet WA voters have made very clear they want these taxes to happen.
