Some Seattle suburb boomers be like: I just went on a @ricksteves.bsky.social trip to Europe and walked everywhere and it was so lovely! 🥰

And also: what can’t I park for free on the street in the middle of downtown Seattle like in the 1950? I’m never visiting again. 😡

I was on @citycastseattle.bsky.social today with @bretthamil.bsky.social and @janehu.bsky.social to talk about Sunday's 100% preventable tragedy on Beacon Avenue and the community response that shut down the street later that evening.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

It’s the first night of Hanukkah and the world seems like a very dark place. But we can bring light to the darkness. We can fight for each other and make goodness, love, and community shine through.

Show me your menorahs and let’s light up the timeline!

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th.

No one ever asks Black men if we are okay.

U.S. policing was designed to hunt, cage, and kill Black men; that history is palpable—we feel it all day, every day.

We die earlier than everyone else and it’s considered normal.

And literally no one ever asks us how we’re managing to survive this hell.

Reposting this 🧵 thread since apparently Seattle is still dying or whatever according to the Washington Post.
Like all good propaganda there is a kernel of truth in that Seattle really has struggled with homelessness, but not because of what they suggest. We’ve been one of the fastest growing cities in the country for over a decade and our housing supply and services haven’t scaled with that

We’ve got some wins. We’ve got some hope. That’s not the time to ease up—it’s the time to tighten. A number of these companies would undo what landed them on the boycott guide. That’s leverage. That’s how we shape their future behavior.

How the centrist wing of the democratic party is destroying the left:

The Powell Memo, formally titled “U.S. Business: A New Agenda for Action”, was a 1971 internal memorandum written by Lewis F. Powell—then a corporate lawyer who later became U.S. Secretary of State under President Reagan. 🧵
🧵 Okay so yesterday's vote has me needing to share something.

I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable.

Let me show you why:

To further illustrate my point, I’m going to show you how much of the “media ecosystem” is controlled by these interest groups who are deliberately attempting to subvert the will of the people with their influence campaigns.
This article by Danny Westneat on the Seattle Times about Seattle being “fickle” because it flip flops between socialist and liberal is interesting. He makes a good point that it keeps us stuck because nothing much gets done with all the back and forth. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Seattle shows it’s a fickle city
Seattle is mostly headed left again, after veering toward the center, which itself followed a big progressive tilt. This pingponging may be why the city feels stuck, writes columnist Danny Westneat.

In his victory speech, Zohran Mamdani shouts out Richard, a taxi driver he went on a hunger strike with.

“My brother, we are in City Hall now,” he said.

Revisit the story from Nov. 2021, including Mamdami’s quote which is quite striking in this moment.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

in march of this year, CBC radio’s signature science show, quirks & quarks, featured an interview about the silent organ damage COVID may be wreaking on our bodies.

no new information was presented—it was simply timed to coincide with the pandemic’s 5th anniversary.
