I'm on a call right now with folks at every level of government getting updated on the statewide flooding emergency. This is a very serious event, including in the Skagit River basin. Limit travel, pay attention to warnings, don't drive through water, and if told to evacuate, GO.

We anticipate potentially 100,000 Washingtonians facing evacuation orders. The situation is fluid and changing all the time. We expect rivers to hit historic levels as early as 4 a.m. tomorrow, lasting into Friday morning.

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district.

Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.

How would a referendum on separation work? Those who've been reading Cascadia Journal know that I support discussions about independence for Oregon and Washington as an escape plan from the US descent into fascism. Is this the best solution? I...

New post from @cascadiajournal.bsky.social, regarding an independence referendum for Oregon and Washington! #Cascadia

Made a lil video explaining how the curators for this museum found me, and showing off some of the other cool things you can see at the exhibit

It’s a cool exhibit overall, and there’s a bicycle wing going on right now as well, 2-wheel supremacy is rising!

Gonna have to keep popping down there to drop stickers 😂

Thank you! Hilarious to me the it’s got a whole section paid for by Bezos, and my anti-cap ass is just down the hall 😂

The ‘Kickstands up!’ poster at the MOHAI

I am stoked to announce that I am part of the new 'Kickstands Up!' exhibit at the Museum of History & Industry in Seattle, celebrating 125 years of Pacific Northwest Motorcycle culture!

You can find me (And maybe some of my stickers) at the MOHAI until April of 2026!

The holidays have a way of bringing out the worst in some people

I don't know why it's always 40-60 year old men, like this Lyft driver who tried to run me off the road today, that do the most reckless shit with their cars

This demographic is filled with dudes overflowing with entitlement, constant chip on their shoulder, on the verge of road-rage at any moment

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

Corrupt former mayors Eric Adams and Bruce Harrell talking some inane bullshit after getting their asses kicked by Zohran Mamdani & Katie Wilson

Just 2 haters becoming waiters at the table of socialism's success

Religious leaders have to lead the fight against ICE terror and fascism, otherwise they are what MLK called an "irrelevant social club." We have to do everything we can and I'm happy to lead a church doing everything it can to fight back, including using our sacred symbols. More on our nativity 👇👇👇

It's so cute Ham Pigby has a little desk now, right there at the heart of the Ministry of Propaganda, with papers he can shuffle around while he gets fed the next plate of dogshit to eat, swallow, and regurgitate back into the mouths of his audience

it’s my dad. dude didn’t just build Harleys, he built a whole community. When I was by his hospital bed the days before he passed, I swear to god we could only get like an hour where it was just us because there was a constant stream of other old bikers and rednecks he helped coming to give him love

I’ll remind you that Texas is the kind of place where the DA pressured me into dropping the case against my rapist in 2006. My case was one of who KNOWS how many when Joe Shannon was the Tarrant County DA.

Texas is a trash state. www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/201...

YouTube video by SquidTips Starbucks Workers United on Strike: December 2025 Update

I checked in with my local @sbworkersunited.org in Seattle to talk about how CEO, Brian Niccols, has been running the company into the ground since he started last year

His compensation last year could have paid for the unions demands and left him with over 20 million

Same reason my bikes and helmet are covered in queer symbols

Ain’t gonna let the racists and bigots in the biker community think for a second I’m one of them, and trans riders know they got friends out there on the road

They would still be a good employer for a trans person, as far as the working conditions, but it’s the classic situation of a company run by old white men that caters to women, queer people, and PoC, while not actually giving a shit about any of those people

Why would you attribute any of this reduction to cops? What specifically have they done differently that would create a reduction in gun violence?

Cops are the ones inflicting violence on the community with zero accountability

What exactly will our transition team do? I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about it. #thisisyourcity

This is a good start!

It was a joy to join Rev. Dr. Robert L. Jeffrey, Sr of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, the Low Income Housing Institute, and other community leaders to break ground at a new affordable housing project. Over 90 families in the Central District will be housed as a result of this multi-year project

This Seattle Veteran, father, and Anarchist, displayed the appropriate amount of deference when engaging with the type of ‘Public Servants’ we’ve got running our fuckin cities into the ground
