This song’ message has lifted me from despair in the past, I love him even more for this. See you in Portland (and probably others)!!! 😭💖
We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

Another ‘millionaires tax’ finds Seattle is far richer than anyone knew
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson last week described the city as “filthy rich.” Impolitic as that may be, returns from a new tax on high pay packages show she’s not wrong.

I feel like I gave it a year of grace, but there’s zero excuse to buy anything from Amazon anymore if you can afford not to.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Just saw a picture of stuffed animals in the woman's car and man...I really am struggling to find the words right now. This is all just so unspeakably devastating, and I don't know how we come back from it.

I know there’s so much more terrible shit going on right now, but I stilllll can’t help getting so sad and mad at how terrible almost every website is now. Just let me read about how Danica Patrick sucks in peace!! It didn’t have to go this way.

Of all the astute takes I keep thinking about this one. I’m so grateful for Coates’ moral steadfastness.
The Ezra Klein style of caring about political “strategy” over consistent moral principles and values of your own reminds me of how a lot of pop culture consumers obsessively track box office and chart performance rather than just evaluating based on whether things are good or if they like them
