HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

In the midst of [waves hands] all this I still find delight in every day. biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2025/02/febr...

The Trump Administration is subjecting the West Seattle Link Extension to additional scrutiny and that is pushing the estimated date for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to greenlight the light rail project by 30 to 60 days. Story: www.theurbanist.org/2025/02/28/t...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

literally this

The staff presentation tonight at Shoreline council on parking mandates notes that there are currently more references in their city's code to parking than to trees, the environment, community, and housing.

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare. Honored to have their trust with this story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Best headline/lede combo in today’s @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social

Seattle Police Investigating Anti-Gay Hate Crime in Capitol Hill Witnesses Say “Frat Bros” Shouted Slurs and Shot Them With Gel Pellets Outside Pony

Did someone replace the headline writer at @nytimes.com with a person who understands current events?

Fuck these assholes.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Why didn't a single councilmember propose increasing the budget for street trees in the transportation levy?

I’m so excited to vote these barnacles out of office.

Stealing the infrastructure we paid for. They're treating blue states and cities like we're conquered territory to be plundered.

The threat of political violence is informing Donald Trump’s grip on Congress. “They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,” a former member of Trump’s first administration tells @gabrielsherman.bsky.social.

Trump: I AM A KING! NYT: Trump displays a "fondness for regal themes"

Trump declares himself King. NYTimes: "Do women need more sleep than men?!"

Trump White House creates EO declaring that only Trump can interpret the meaning of the law. NYTimes: "Are Runny Egg Yolks Safe to Eat?"

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

There are no words for the disgust I have at someone visiting a concentration camp and then promoting the party that is the modern inheritor of the Nazi party.

The New York Times is complicit in this and Pamela Paul is partly responsible for this.

The Seattle Times, the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Harrell, and every councilmember except Alexis Mercedes Rinck backed Prop 1B along with Amazon, Alaska Airlines, Microsoft, Weyerhauser, T-Mobile and Dale F'in Chihuly. They lost by TWENTY FIVE POINTS. Seattle there's hope for you yet.

Game over. Seattles's elected leaders should stop defending their unpopular NIMBY positions and start working toward solutions for the common good. That's what true leadership looks like.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

ok! www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

57 percent BABY! Seattle wants social housing. You're either on the bus or You're off the bus. WE'RE DOING THIS!! Congrats @houseourneighbors.bsky.social !!

*EVERY SINGLE* Democratic Party Legislative District group in Seattle endorsed Proposition 1A after a deliberative process and then vote of their membership. 1B is right-wing nonsense.

It's a good time to contact the WA attorney general and ask why he hasn't joined with the others who are instructing hospitals in their state to keep providing care! I already did. fortress.wa.gov/atg/formhand... or (360) 753-6200

It's already happening in the bluest of blue states www.thestranger.com/queer/2025/0...

Honestly did not expect Seattle Children's Hospital to roll over on the anti-trans "orders". www.thestranger.com/queer/2025/0...

In Beacon Hill, SDOT construction engineer Victor showed me the street work in front of the light rail station. The median has been removed in preparation for bike lane installation #LastRideWithGreg
