Join @jayapal.house.gov and @nickbrownnow.bsky.social and many others to support Seattle’s next City Attorney @electerikaevans.bsky.social this Saturday from 12:30-2 pm at a Cap Hill wine shop (address provided with RSVP)!

Mariners did it first.

Had a blast at the @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social volunteer watch party for the mayoral debate! Katie Wilson did fabulous and will be Seattle’s next mayor! 💛💙💛💙

This bus lane was funded by Pete! Now it’s being ripped out

The WaPo is blaming “the left” for forcing Democratic leaders to walk and for shutting down the government?!?! Hahaha. Try again. The fault for this shutdown lands squarely with the party that is in power of all branches of government. And thank goodness some Ds finally are showing a spine.

Part of what this reveals is what US labor has been arguing since the late 19th C. At will employment impedes political democracy. If u can lose ur livelihood for ur (non violent & non harassing) beliefs, then being an engaged citizen is all but impossible.

Feeling really hopeful in Seattle. For so many reasons. ⚾️ 🗳️

As someone allergic to I ibuprofen, thank fucking goodness for Tylenol. It’s pretty much all I can take.

Seattle Theatre Group says it has paused all scheduled advertising on KOMO at this time.

Fab final day of summer hanging in Seattle with @jazzyspraxis.bsky.social! We went to Canonball Arts, walked to the Market for lunch, and supported @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social & Dionne Foster at the WA Stonewall Dems event! I also support Erika Evans but had to head home to walk my pup!

That looks like a lovely vacation.
The FBI wants to do what?!
Congrats on the wedding!
Israel is literally sniping children in the head.
Ooh I should visit that new bar.
Thousands more laid off.
Will I be fired for just liking this post?
Happy anniversary!

Bonkers how much I’m learning from you tonight. Thank you.

This is how local TV ownership breaks down in Seattle:

KIRO: Paramount/CBS (Canceled Colbert)
KOMO: Sinclair (Cut off Kimmel AND demands he donate to Charlie Kirk's family & co.)
KING 5: Tegna which Nexstar wants to buy pending FCC approval. (Cut off Kimmel)
Fox 13: Fox (was Nexstar until 2019!)

I had NO idea Jimmy Kimmel started in Seattle. So very 2025: I get my 90’s “news” from @theneedling.com and I’m defending Kimmel. Real fake news, indeed. Make it stop please.

And he got pertussis when he was 18 months from another kiddo at childcare here in Seattle. He was on the early cusp of whopping cough making a comeback. I was so flipping relieved that he was fully vaccinated for his age and I hadn’t spaced any vaccines out. It was very scary!

After I gave birth at UCSF in 2006, I asked my pediatrician about decoupling some vaccines to space them out more for my new baby. He talked me out of it. He explained it would be MORE shots, appointments, bus rides, and reactions. And I listened and took the advice of my doctor! That’s how it works

Willian Gimenez was abducted by ICE yesterday in Chicago. He had been part of a lawsuit against off-duty police and Home Depot employees for abusing day laborers. Latino Union says he was targeted for advocating for his rights as a worker. @bloomekatz.bsky.social and I report.

Autumn treats to celebrate getting my vaccinations!
(I know it’s not *really* fall until the equinox, but still.)

Got my Covid, flu, and pneumonia vaccines today at CVS. Easy peasy and free! 💉

A lot of people have been calling me the
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.
