A crowd of commuters waiting at a bus stop.

Let there be no doubt about how valuable the Sounder is to our region. The Southbound trains are cancelled and this stop is more crowded then I have ever seen it. It looks like a game just got out at the stadiums.

Rocking a Pebble Time Steel and pleased with election results so far as well. I think I've found my people.

I got gate checked by Southwest Airlines just now. There was still room in the overhead bins when I boarded. I'm really annoyed.

There should be laws against selling more seats then there is overhead space. If you can only fit so many carry on bags that is the capacity of your airplane.

In a nice change of pace I was able to make the 566 towards Auburn today. It arrived less then 10 minutes after the previous very late 566 so now I am the only person on the bus departing Renton TC.

I need to stop taking the 550 bus. Every time I see the rails on the I-90 bridge I get heartache.

I've lived in Seattle for a long time, but this is my first time on one of the Sound Transit Double Decker buses. I have the entire top of the bus to myself right now and I'm pleased as punch.

If we are going to have a bunch of empty Bartells Drugs and Rite Aids then the State of Washington should open their own pharmacy. #PublicOption

Went to the hospital today, I'm ok, but the post visit thing where I have had to call 3 separate pharmacies and the hospital multiple times really has me ticked off.

The Boycott War Profiteers Campaign I've been helping with for the past year is now on Blue Sky. Give them a follow if you are in the Seattle area and want to take action for Palestine. @boycottwar.bsky.social

Sean O, middle left in the article picture, was protesting despite his dog dying that morning. If that isn't commitment to a cause then I don't know what it what it is.

Socialist Lawmaker And Educators "Trespassed" During Sit-In To Demand Gov. Ferguson Taxes The Rich Visitor services at the Washington State Capitol declared Rep. Shaun Scott (D-Seattle) and three Seattle educators trespassers for overstaying public hours during a sit-in at the Governor's office. Th...

Something I was up to yesterday. A busy day in Olympia with the reading of the Ayşenur Eygi resolution and WEA-led protests.

@ecology.wa.gov should note that.

The response is yeah heavy rail has faster speeds, but that's not the point of a light rail connection.

A heavy regional rail is a complement to light rail, not a competitor.

Direct integration with MAX isn’t about speed, it is about not having to wait for a transfer and much higher frequency.

I decided to attend a WA Dept. of Ecology Webinar for the Washington Climate Partnership and some yokal from Battleground, WA was complaining about light rail on the Columbia River Crossing and how much faster heavy rail is.

I wonder if I am seeing fewer April Fools Jokes this year because we are living in an April Fools reality.

Account Suspension Notice from Twitter for violating rules against inauthentic accounts.

Haha it took me a week to notice this. I guess this is their last ditch effort to chuck leftist off the platform.

Zev Cook is running for Tacoma City Council. If elected, Zev would be the first ever trans person elected to Tacoma City Council and a tireless advocate for higher wages, affordable housing, progressive taxation, and more! Volunteer here: bit.ly/3QRUT4E

If he keeps this up Ferguson is going to be a one term Governor, with a primary challenge backed by the state party.

He has a chance for redemption by not exercising his veto on the budget that comes to his desk from the House and never going full Elon on a budget again.

Also huge cuts to state funded healthcare at a time when the Trump administration is trying to destroy Medicaid.

If I wanted a Governor to slash spending and cut programs I would have voted for Reichert. We don't need a DOGE budget.

Looking at @governorferguson.bsky.social budget made me so mad. One particular annoyance is him trying to cut the whole port noise mitigation fund. Which is a direct attack on the immigrant communities that live near SeaTac and which have been organizing to stop the airport explanation.

That's great! I would love to get in touch with them about statewide organizing.

I'm trying to organize Washington State overall. I can get you connected to our statewide organizing efforts.

Let me know if there is any way I can help you get Vancouver DSA re-established.

Is there a roll call on who passed this amendment? I want to know if I have to send my Senator an annoyed email.

Also got an initial interview scheduled Monday for a very promising job, so wish me luck!

Today was my best day in at least a year, things just seemed to come together perfectly. It was great to see people from the Rachel Corrie Foundation and Seattle DSA at the Washington for Peace and Justice Lobby day. Followed by a very productive visit to the Olympia DSA general meeting.

I'm so proud of Seattle for passing Prop 1A! The @seattledsa.bsky.social party was rocking!

Hey Dan, do you know if this bill would impact the ability of Leavenworth to require a Bavarian aesthetic?

I love this bill and will try and get my Dad who is an Architect who has been complaining about explicitly this issue to testify.

Real political science hours here. This is the goal of the Trump administration and any person in power who doesn't fight it is complicit.

I woke up to the thought of a pun that would be good for a headline and now I'm outlining the article it would go with.

I wonder if city workers in Seattle are more progressive then the city's voters overall?
