“We deserve roses.” Thank you, Mayor Wilson.
Mayor Katie Wilson gave one heckuva speech at her inauguration, one that should be celebrated all over Bluesky. Can you imagine a national figure saying this in a speech, because they should:

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Anyways, if you’re in Burien, vote for @hugo4burien.bsky.social @electrocco.bsky.social @sarah4burien.bsky.social & Sam Mendez.
We need a city council who will take action to site and build more shelter, and who won’t use city resources to sue orgs and activists who raise the minimum wage.

“Let’s have a trial.”
A defiant Comey says he is heartbroken for the (corrupted) DOJ, but is innocent and has faith in the federal judicial system.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

media skews right/conservative. always, forever. ghoulish delight in fixation with Biden as a way of deflecting from whatever is happening right now that really matters.
Don't watch CNN right now if you don't want to get depressed. Brian Stelter is going on about "the timing" of the cancer diagnosis and his colleague Tapper's book. Apparently, there's something really important about that.
I thought we might get some respectful coverage at least today.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.
