“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered…Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

- 1984, George Orwell

It was clear from the sound off the bat that that one was out of the park. #goms

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one point...

It's not the crime as much as it's the coverup.

Whichever team wins the little league World Series should have an asterisk next to their name in the history books.

I’m ridiculously excited for #coffee in the morning.

BIG DUMPER CHAMPION

Went diving last night looking for six gill sharks at Redondo (in Des Moines, WA) with my good friend Natalie. We didn't see any, but we did see some cute little octopus and it was great to be underwater again after more than two months. #DiveSky

Thanks for representing Seattle well!

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

"Adolf Hitler, pursuing a ruthless campaign for a 'Nasified' and loyal Germany, armed himself today with the power to cancel citizenships and and confiscate the property of critical or hostile citizens, including Germans living abroad."

I feel seen!

The corner of the Architecture Building at University of Washington had regrets after I ate too much chili (and maybe drank too much beer) after finals in 1990.

He. Is. So. Unbelievably. Stupid.

Another Canadian in ICE custody 😡

The stupidness of this nation. A couple dozen little girls at camp drowned in a flood with no warning because the idiots in charge only care about assembling an army of stormtroopers to arrest every hotdog stand guy in America and all anyone is talking about is the NYC mayor’s college application

Yeah, he was impressive this evening — so was Castillo.

As one of your constituents, I applaud you calling out ICE’s behavior for what it is and implore you to not back down. We will have your back.

The photo depicts a lively outdoor celebration with a large crowd of people, many wearing red and white clothing and accessories featuring the Canadian flag. The central figure is a man wearing a red cowboy hat and sunglasses, smiling broadly, and dressed in a shirt with a large maple leaf design and the word "EH" on it. He is holding a small Canadian flag raised in his right hand. The background shows a grand building with green roofs and Canadian flags, suggesting a significant national event, likely Canada Day, given the date and context. Other people around him are also waving flags and cheering, creating a festive atmosphere.

While we call it Canada Day, that name didn't become official until 1983. From 1879 to 1982, it was officially Dominion Day.
But there are many more interesting stories around Canada's birthday.
Let's explore today's history in Canada!

I am in fact eating KD for lunch in Canada as I type this and want to make sure I legally still get to have dinner.

Question for Canadians: if you eat KD for lunch, is it referred to as KL? #LostCanadianQuestion.

Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision is deeply disappointing and harmful to transgender individuals.

In Washington, we stand up for and support transgender people, including transgender youth. That won’t change as long as I am governor.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

Here's #robhalford from #judaspriest because he rules.

Today:

Tanks are being moved en masse into DC.

Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests.

Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents.

A reminder tonight:

“Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.”

"I was just following orders" is never a good legal defense.
