I had so much fun helping to man the photo booth for Seattle Solidarity Budget at today's public hearing on the budget! Many of the workers at City Hall were just as starstruck as I was to see The Seattle Channel puppets IRL!
A display at Seattle City Hall features six handmade sock puppets arranged in a row, each representing a City Councilmember, with black nameplates identifying them as Kettle (District 7), Rivera (District 4), Nelson (Position 9), Saka (District 1), Strauss (District 6), and Juarez (District 5). Above the puppets is a large white cardboard frame labeled “Solidarity Budget” with a raised fist logo in red and green. The background shows a modern lobby with wood-paneled ceiling, windows, and seating.

"Meche" works making raisins in Fresno CA. Fresh grapes are placed on sheets of paper and then laid on the sand between rows. The suns heats the sand and dries out the grapes. She can feel the heat from the sand through her shoes while she earns 35 cents for each sheet. #WeFeedYou

This is fundamentally the root of Jewish commitment to liberalism, and why the people who want to throw that out to protect an ethnostate are selling our birthright for a bowl of shitty porridge.

The Manchester synagogue attack is a story of mass immigration and multiculturalism. We must bring an end to both.

ICYMI last week, the Michelin Guide for #Vancouver now includes 76 total restaurants (22 cuisine types) with two new One Michelin Star restaurants, a new Bib Gourmand and two new recommended restaurants.

Bibs get my attention (high-quality/reasonable price), like The Lunch Lady 💯

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions.

These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water.

AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

I keep hearing from people who say they bought my book on Amazon but received something with empty pages or with what appears to be filled with AI crap.

Because Amazon won’t police its offerings, you’re getting shafted (and so am I)

Before I started a food co-op, I started a co-op farmers market. It required less monetary capital but more sweat equity. It's still going all these years later. Good for the farmers, the community and me when I lived on a lower income. Farmers would often give me food in return for my labour.
