I'm not gonna yell at people about it, but I'm not willing to concede my national fandom because the president is a bad guy. It's a subset of folks who believe we can't be patriotic bc nationalism.

That said, Dominican Republic are a super fun team and USA has the vibe of a DMV office.

Meet Jeremiah. He's a snail who brought his house on a long, slow journey to find art and beauty in the world. Thanks to Emerald City Tattoo for the flash art today!

The comms people need to be doing what the policy people say, not the other way around.

there are lots of winning franchises in states that have income tax.

right, I just don't think it matters as much as other things when it comes to building a winning roster.

Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Missouri all have state income tax, so not sure why it would be an issue here.

You know who would have known the score, and ended the Cal/Randy spat immediately?

If you're feeling anxious about talk of a draft, whatever Trump says, the chances of it are functionally zero. it's consistently one of the least popular things in polling, the military doesn't need or want draftees, and it requires legislation (that would never make it out of Congress) to activate.

can't decide which is smaller:

- how little I care about this story, or
- how quickly Jerry will trade Randy if he actually is mad about Cal

working in fundraising (and just on the outskirts of politics), I do appreciate that we're in a moment where it's the hopeful, positive messaging that cuts against the grain rather than the cynics. I don't deal in hopium, but maaaaan when you give people positive news right now they flock to it.

WA voting rights advocates: SCOTUS ruling could harm voters of color Washington voting rights advocates say a pending U.S. Supreme Court ruling could disenfranchise voters of color and open the door to gutting the federal Voting Rights...

I was recently interviewed for this piece about Louisiana v Callais, a US Supreme Court case that could shape the future of voting rights here in Washington and across the nation.

I feel like that's an interview where Chotiner would spend a lot of time saying, "and then what happened?"

does it suck if the VRA is completely tossed by SCOTUS? absolutely it does. but does that mean we give up? or does that mean we find a new way. heck, maybe there's even an old way to use existing law to achieve the same end.

stop letting bad people control your hope and behavior. do the work.

look, we get so tied up about the negative "now" when something bad happens with SCOTUS or some trump EO or department rule change that we have forgotten the fact there was a time before whatever hallowed rule existed, and people fought and won that change to the law.

my primary vote increasingly swings on things like who is most likely to make Lina Kahn anti-trust czar.
