I hope thing went/will go well for you

The threat of a war crime should be an impeachable offense

The tale of the tape: Trump repeatedly pledged to cut gas prices by 50% “Mark it down, and you can get very angry at me if we don’t do it.”

"Energy costs...including gasoline, will drop by more than 50% within the first 12 months" — Trump, 8/19/24

"12 months from January 20th… your gasoline for your car is going to be 50% cheaper" — Trump, 10/10/24

"Mark it down, and you can get very angry at me if we don’t do it” — Trump, 9/21/24

My longtime knock on American Christianity is “The Bible: Literal when you need it, metaphor when you don’t”
Likewise, it’s America is an extension of European legal tradition when it’s convenient, America is a break from the old world when it isn’t

Fish War (2024) This documentary examines how Washington’s ban on tribal fishing sparked the Fish Wars and a landmark ruling, as the fight for salmon endures.

OMG Fish War is out streaming for free!!!!! This is an EPIC and riveting documentary that every PNWer must see to understand the fierce battles that Indigenous folks here have fought for us to save beloved salmon and the environment for us all. We owe them everything. tubitv.com/movies/10005...

On the comparison between Bush's war against Iraq in 2003 and Trump's war against Iran this week, there are some important differences. THREAD 1/

And Tuesday, and Wednesday…

Old enough to remember when the Seattle Post-Intelligencer was delivered in the morning and The Seattle Times was delivered in the afternoon. Not to mention the daily Bellevue Journal-American (later Eastside Journal).

The consolidation of news outlets has not been healthy for this country.

Her Majesty Tahoma yesterday afternoon sporting her snappy lenticular cap, towering over West Seattle's Alki Point Lighthouse:

They don’t understand that a handout is a hand up.

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.

Go Seahawks.

I visited my local library this morning

Bruce is absolutely meeting the moment

Can we throw Russell Vought into that mix?

Huh. I thought this is what Republicans warned that the Democrats would do.

As a resident of Bellevue, I have always appreciated her work in bringing light rail service to the Eastside and beyond

I was somewhat heartened when she beat her election-denying MAGA opponent in a mostly red district but now we have her voting with Republicans and Joe Kent in a prominent position in this administration.

I’ve been dipping in and out of here myself. My feed is pretty current-events focused so it can weigh a little heavy on me at times.

Trump is all over the place when it comes to identifying threats because of course this Greenland gambit has nothing to do with real threats to US security and only to do with Trump personally

He needs to go

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something."

They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable.

These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

Such a fine rendering of Hoover Tower

The hypocrisy is the point.
