This is why the Tesla boycott/divestment strategy can work where others have failed. If we can move Tesla stock, we can wipe out a huge amount (if not all) of Elon Musk's wealth. This opportunity is too important not to pursue all-out. #TeslaTakedown

We won’t disappear just because you change a website.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed to lead the Department of Health & Human Services. The U.S. Senate has betrayed the American people, approving a dangerous conspiracy theorist with no scientific training who is obsessed with unfounded health claims to be our nation’s voice on public health.

So happy to see this good news for WA!

Happy election day Seattle, Shoreline, Burien, and Issaquah! If you've got a ballot sitting around waiting to be filled out, now's the time.

SEATTLE DONT FORGET TO VOTE (for the correct things, please do not vote if you want bad stuff)

Washington is a leader in cutting-edge scientific research. If the Trump Administration’s unlawful action is allowed to go forward, it would be disastrous for the important work happening at our research institutions.

Just used this today to ask @governorferguson.bsky.social to deny assistance to mass deportations. Super easy!

I know they have this in MN & it’s done nothing but good, let’s do this!!

OpenAI right now

Inslee gets it.

If you work in the non-profit sector: The Northwest Immigrant Rights Project has published an updated immigration guide, especially for nonprofits. Please share with colleagues, staff and allies. #WeProtectUs docs.google.com/document/d/1...

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Washington State depends on billions of dollars in NIH funding every year!! Join me in calling our state reps tomorrow to ask them to push back against the funding freeze.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Anyone familiar with or working on any promising photo-based apps that may act as an Instagram alternative?

They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.

Just so we’re clear: 1. Audiobooks count 2. Reading is political 3. The orange man is a piece of 💩 Thanks for stopping by 💃

More imperative than ever: don’t cross picket lines

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

peak comedy right here

I’ve avoided going on TikTok out of fear and a touch of defiance and like many others i don’t think I’ll truly return after the clear shift to the right that has occurred. Already seeing so much about the censorship and general unsettling shift in the algorithm. Ugh

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

"Don't Engage, Just Block"

Here's a small weird potentially good thing: The USPS website is still, as of a few minutes ago, processing requests under the free covid test program. No idea when that'll be shut down, but it hasn't been yet.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

What if we made my radical labor history book for young readers age 10-14 a bestseller, and got the stories of Black socialists and trailblazing trans autoworkers and Indigenous labor organizers in front of the kids who need them? #booksky www.simonandschuster.com/books/Fight-...

ok now this is fr scary!!

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Absolutely hate “we went too far” revisionist history. “We all believed women and it went too far.” No we did not all believe women. I was there

Shout-out to Libby, the library app that lets you borrow books and read/listen on your phone! It's getting my son into books, and helps me find content for my podcast! #booksky #podcast #librarylove #library #books
