Freedom of Speech is a paramount right in this country. It is wrong that Seattle’s own Climate Pledge Arena is reportedly blocking Macklemore’s performance. I call on Climate Pledge to make every effort to ensure Macklemore is able to perform in his own hometown arena. Seattle is better than this.

Every year judging the IGF we ask ‘What should an IGF award mean? What is the ideal we are holding up as independent game makers?’ This year that conversation was even more intense:
Pandering to me in particular that it separates out the different War Powers Resolution issues, it isn't *just* the 60-day clock, the war was in fact patently illegal from the start
David Kaye@davidakaye.bsky.social · 9h agothe massie impeachment articles are remarkable and, especially for the articles related to war crimes and extrajudicial killings, they allege not merely impeachable offenses but crimes under U.S. and international law. massie.house.gov/news/documen...
"they got al capone for this taxes" is nearly 100 years old at this point, we need a new historical tidbit

if the top CEO in a load-bearing industry shows up in a leather jacket the company should be put into federal receivership until investigations are complete
OK, I think I've organized my thoughts on the whole Jeffries/Schumer thing into a coherent thread. Here's the main thing I want to communicate: (at least part of) what people what Jeffries and Schumer to do just isn't in the job description of caucus leaders.
an important behind-the-scenes thing should be making democrats appreciate that david shor is an idiot and matt yglesias is a squalid little bigot
Fischer 🛠️🚇@fischer.bsky.social · 3d agodavid shor started the popularist movement because circa ~2020 he had a model that showed that showed democrats were essentially guaranteed to permanently lose the senate majority, literally projecting that republicans would get a 60 seat supermajority this year

The left can be the side that makes the case for holistic school reform—a counterpoint to technocratic bandaids, austerity fixes, private contracting. Why not be the party of art class, whole books, huge libraries, clubs, extracurriculars, school newspapers—for all
Annie Abrams@annieabrams.bsky.social · 3d ago"Maybe instead of spending so much on Google, @kellyclancy.bsky.social added, the city could invest in school libraries and books." love to see it
This! We need this on the school board here in Seattle - and right now we don’t have it.

100% agree. The Democrats need to hire the best vertical-video producers in the country and fund them to put out a CONSTANT stream of social media Content about the ongoing investigations into GOP crimes + how Democrats are rebuilding America. I am deadly serious about this.
Thor Benson@thorbenson.bsky.social · 3d agoThey've gotta make content! Do well-produced videos about the investigations that people can share

The expansive and urgent Musk documentary from @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social and @bleeckerstfilms.bsky.social is now out on digital. Highly recommend.

I want the NYTimes to apply its "let's focus on random outliers" approach to everything. "NASA announced a manned mission to Mars, but these shut-ins at the Flat Earth Society have their doubts" "The Knicks won an NBA title, but these elderly women at a mahjong parlor are unimpressed"
