F**k ICE

Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

I used to be afraid that getting older would mean that it would be too late for me as a gay man to find love.

After this week of seeing my dad in memory care, I am now more afraid of forgetting the love I already have.

On the happy side, I have gone down a pant size and shirt size. I haven’t worn this size since the 90’s.

Can we get these everywhere? I love dogs, but get tired of people leaving baggies of dog poop on the sidewalk rather than disposing of them.

I want to live in an America with a society and Infrastructure as strong as its stock market and military.

Our universal health care, child care, elder care, education, rail and transit systems should be the best in the world too.

Reverse the Trump tax cuts for the superwealthy to pay for it.

Eric Swalwell said "California is the greatest country in the world and is under attack."

Misspeak or not, a Governor who sees California not merely as one of 50 states, but as the Republic of California deserving maximal autonomy would win me over.

Visiting Mom & Dad and helping as Dad moves into memory care.

He is in a great facilty, but It was startling to experience him not recognize me for the first time.

May I show up in service and remember that this is not about me.

So I have used Waymo and shopped at markets with no cashiers. AI is taking office jobs. All types of jobs are disappearing rapidly.

Universal Basic Income is going to be campaign issue in 2028 whether the elites are ready or not.

Well my hotel room couldn’t be more convenient to the Sound Transit station.

In case you were wondering, the 405 is just as gnarly in King County-WA as it is in Los Angeles County-CA.

Here at beautiful Downtown Bellevue Sound Transit Line 2 station.

Why in the hell fo we have national security government contracts with Elon Musk?

The man knowingly turned a social media platform over for foreign bots spreading disinformation.

His "free speech" is Putin propaganda.

Are we insane?

Why are respectable journalists and politicians still on 'X'?

See, coup-attempting former Presidents CAN be put in prison.

The world would be a better place if justice had triumphed in the USA after January 6th as it did in Brazil.

Another unnecessary Republican war for oil.

At least they are consistent.

Vote Republican, get an economic downturn and a war for oil.

Every Republican Presidency is the same, except this one adds fascism.
Rep. Salazar on Venezuela: "We're about to go in ... we need to go in ... Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day"

There should be no "dark money" in any of our elections. Every cent should be public.

- Abolish the Electoral College
- Overturn Citizens United
- End secret and foreign donations
- End stock trades by members of the Congress, the Administration, and federal judiciary
- Enact rank-choice voting

Say the silent part out loud.

Musk used to hock "transit tunnels" that were just underground highways for Teslas.

He knowingly allowed foreign bots pretending to be MAGAs to spread misinformation and fake follower counts on 'X".

Yes, I do think he would hack election tabulations if he could.

Why I prefer Costco to Walmart. Costco's business model is based on treating their employees, customers, and community well.
