Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Elon Musk is angry that Somalian immigrants voted Ilhan Omar into Congress in Minnesota

He’s upset that people “not born in America” helped her get a seat in government

Elon Musk wasn’t born in America

He’s an immigrant from Africa

He voted in the last election

He interfered with it as well

Crying, because a friend was part of an office gift swap. She noticed that the woman who comes after hours to clean was not included, so she is making sure to get that person a gift because they are important too.

Western Washington is currently experiencing record flooding from a series of strong atmospheric rivers. 12 rivers are at major flood stage. 100,000 people await evacuation orders.

Will some places see less severe climate impacts than others? Yes. Does anywhere promise safe haven? Absolutely not.
Climate migration is difficult to study, and even harder to predict, because a complex constellation of factors guides the decision to pick up and move. But some experts say a historic population shift has already begun, and Western Washington should start preparing now to become a “climate haven.”
Is the Pacific Northwest ready for a wave of climate migration?

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can become chronically ill.

Anyone can become homeless.

These are not moral failings.

They can happen in an instant, often when you least expect it.

It just takes one accident or illness to change your life forever.

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Look, I KNOW everyone is convinced that Seattle is drowning in rain all the time, but it’s really not usually this much. Flooding in the greater area is extremely likely, and this isn’t actually normal.

WSP Chief Batiste has authorized an All-Risk Mobilization Plan, including a request for 4 swift water rescue teams, swift water technicians, boats and operators, and a rescue swimmer. This will allow other jurisdictions to share those resources with Snohomish and Skagit counties.

My cousins are some of those first responders, and I'd prefer they didn't have to risk their safety.

If you get an order to evacuate, please do it!
We deeply appreciate the first responders who are out there in the field helping Washingtonians as they deal with protecting their homes, businesses, pets, and loved ones.
