"Gov Gavin Newsom over the weekend vetoed legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state." He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions". www.ebar.com/story/170505...
My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
lol old ladies with protest signs both coming and going, this is for real
The Seahawks posted one of those videos where they ask players questions and today’s was which position group would survive the longest in the horror movie and Mike Morris said the D-Line would survive forever and she asks why and he goes: “Friendship”
Every time we push back against attempts by the rich and powerful to shut us up, it encourages more of us to speak out. People power is a real thing. Use it!
it seems to me most likely that the whole tour will be canceled now as a result of Kraft’s intervention injecting his own politics into the event and Sheeran’s concession to it
Listening to KEXP on my lunch break. DJ Larry Mizell Jr. is playing a set of antifascist and pro-Palestine music. Good for the soul, you can stream it on their website: www.kexp.org. It's rare to find a big org like this who are willing to speak out so much respect to Larry and the team.
Feel like between yesterday's Wired story and the Arch Manning thing, we need some sort of massive social intervention in young men. Just absolutely hopeless stuff.
Peyton Tolle is becoming one of my favorite never-been-a-Mariner baseball players. I just like a dude who has fun and that seems like the kind of dude he is.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "
so youre in favor of trans kids playing high school sports? “i find it absolutely disgusting and weird how obsessed you are with children’s genitals. but yes, i believe children should be allowed to play high school sports, a thing that has been happening for decades without issue or controversy”
Starbucks is sending their employees to a city where they are almost 50% more likely to be murdered than in Seattle, and where their doctors can be charged with felonies for performing an abortion. Very concerned citizens, I see.
I’m cracking up about Starbucks supporting the letter while also relocating staff to Nashville, a city that is empirically more dangerous, so they don’t have to pay taxes that could be spent on public safety here in Seattle.
Mamdani is a charismatic guy but I promise you anyone can replicate this. 1) Unapologetically use the government to help ordinary people; and 2) Tell them about it
Simply to add that “despise and resent teachers” is such a thin euphemism for “despise and resent women.”
I'm sure this will ultimately prove too insane for most, but, admittedly, it gets that there is a vast demographic of parents who BOTH intuitively despise and resent teachers as a class AND have no interest in or inclination to actively help their children learn or develop good study habits at home.
We need a national public goods program where Fleabag season 2 is brought directly into the homes of straight women between 29 and 59, starting with the ones whose husbands annoy me
This D5 race is *critical* because it's THE seat that could give lefty agendas a fighting chance. We could have a progressive council near-majority, AND a progressive major (!). A lot of what we clamor for on Bsky (housing stability, AND supply, AND affordability) *could* actually get moving.
But since this election is in the oft-politically neglected District 5, you might not have been paying attention. This changes now! The lefty candidate here is Nilu Jenks (@niluj.bsky.social, @neighborsfornilu.bsky.social), who's been endorsed by every grassroots org, labor union, and Dem chapter.
We had some friends in the booth tonight. Thanks for the love Ryon and Goldy. You are always welcome in Section 187!!!!
