Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Action Alert!
We want the government open, but only with restored ACA subsidies.

Call the following Senators 👇 & demand any deal includes iron clad, in-writing agreements on subsidies that are more than a promised "vote".

When the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire, thousands of Washington families will see their health insurance costs skyrocket.

Here's the cost increase for a self-insured middle-class family in Snohomish County.

This week's full moon, known as the Beaver Moon, will be a #supermoon. It will reach full phase a few hours before perigee (its closest approach to Earth). As the closest super moon of 2025 it will be the brightest as well. (via @rtphokie.bsky.social)

After anomalous late Oct warmth, a sooner-than-expected shift back toward wetter conditions in (at least) NorCal - Weather West A quick blog update amid shifting conditions I suspect that more than a few of us, at our busiest and most chaotic moments, have exclaimed to exasperated friends and colleagues that we "wished there were two of us to help share the load!" Well, in this present moment, I am not sure a single clone

Quick Weather West update today for sake of discussing fairly strong atmospheric river that will arrive in NorCal Tue-Wed, bringing widespread rain, gusty winds, and maybe isolated t-storms. Warm still, though, so Sierra rain vs snow, & dry in SoCal. #CAwx

from fairer taxes to health care for all...it's the long-standing Dem agenda. It is not "centrist." It is humane, common-sensical, compassionate, and vital to the well-being of countless Americans. The issue isn't that the party has moved left, the left's agenda is a US majority agenda.

Small Kindnesses by Danusha Laméris I’ve been thinking about the way, when you walk down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs to let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you” when someone sneezes, a leftover from the Bubonic plague. “Don’t die,” we are saying. And sometimes, when you spill lemons from your grocery bag, someone else will help you pick them up. Mostly, we don’t want to harm each other. We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot, and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder, and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass. We have so little of each other, now. So far from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange. What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these fleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here, have my seat,” “Go ahead—you first,” “I like your hat.”

This helped me today. Small Kindnesses, by Danusha Laméris

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

This is fucking amazing

Too Cruel Too Soon
“Policy ignorance, visceral hatred of doing anything that helps people in need, and the Epstein files.”

How Volunteer Patrols Are Working to Protect San Diego Immigrant Communities From ICE In response to mass deportation threats and mixed messages from county leaders on federal cooperation, San Diego organizers are taking action to inform residents of ICE activity.

A group in San Diego has been patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

White House approves increased oil and gas drilling in Alaska’s national wildlife refuge National Petroleum Reserve lease sales and permitting for road through Izembek wildlife refuge were also approved

The Trump administration is opening the entire 1.56 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s coastal plain to oil and gas drilling. This area is home to diverse wildlife including polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds.​

Do not believe them.
Do not get used to this.
Keep your focus.
Stand your ground.

Pope today: “With the abuse of vulnerable migrants, we are witnessing not the legitimate exercise of national sovereignty but grave crimes committed and tolerated by the state. Ever more inhuman measures are being adopted, even celebrated politically, that treat these 'undesirables' like garbage.”

KPIX says they interviewed one eyewitness who self-identified as an EMT and said they treated a bystander who was hit and taken away in a vehicle. Not clear if the driver of the U-Haul was hit. youtu.be/30SPV3yGV54?...

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

We're in an emergency situation with an outcome that will have serious consequences for the farmworker community if Proposition 50 does not pass. Before you vote on Prop 50, take a look at who’s spending money to stop it.
