I need @governorferguson.bsky.social to do exactly two things: 1) fight fascists and 2) sign every bill sent to him by his Democratic legislature.

I have this theory that β€œNaturally Occurring” Affordable Housing happens when you build new housing and richer people move up, leaving behind timeworn relics for people of more modest means.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. β€œLock him up,” everyone yells.

I think moving from LA back to seattle is the best thing I could have done for my writer’s block. something about the frosty mornings and drizzly evenings just makes you want to tell stories.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Sorry, America. We can feed the elderly with Meals on Wheels or we can let billionaires cheat on their taxes. We can't do both.
