Same! I have been masking in any crowded indoor space and I wish we brought back testing (there are flu/covid ones now) for indoor gatherings.

Long COVID — Here’s What To Know And The Challenges Ahead Six years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus still exists. A public health expert explains what Long COVID is, and the challenges associated with it.

Explicitly capitalist media again shares a new piece that Long COVID is concerning, has no cure and again, embarrassingly, is doing better public health comms about this than most public health orgs. www.forbes.com/sites/omeraw...

Isn’t that the point? Eliminate any narrative counter to official government propaganda?

MAGA is massively antisemitic. Full stop. Their goal is to usher in Armageddon, which (if one is to believe the pre-millennial apocalyptic fundamentalists) will ultimately result in the destruction of Israel and Jews.

I mean… hasn’t gas *already* been above $4 for years in the Puget Sound region?

We need to landmark this pool! ASAP

How did Trump rebuild the military in his FIRST term AFTER Biden gave everything away? Is the 🍊💩🫖🍆🥔 trying to gaslight us into believing that his first term came after Biden?

A short history of the end times/rapture in the American military.

Cold war: Forces were seen as the defense against godless communism, but also as a rich environment for missionary outreach.

It’s pretty disturbing to me that #waleg has effectively decided to allow unregulated robotaxis into Washington, instead of taking a proactive approach and establishing reasonable regional caps, giving UTC rulemaking authority, and disallowing entry for unproven technologies (i.e. Tesla).

Seems to be the pattern…

Trump: the bombings will continue until peace is created 🙄

What else are you going to do beyond ask to speak to the manager, Senator?

God willing he won’t be making any statements

Also the passive voice “Gates gets caught…” He chose this with eyes wide open

The options seem to be:
- Star Trek
- The Matrix
- Waterworld

@organizewithshaun.bsky.social is proof why we need socialist reps in government

Have you looked at feasibility of doing similar builds in Tacoma?

Make America Soviet Again!

Incredible how every layoff is "one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company". Just like the last one; & the one before that; & the one before that

An actual HARD decision would be the CEO saying "obviously I have no idea how to run a business so I quit"

It’s shameful Jay Inslee and the Dems didn’t pass progressive taxation anytime in the last 10 years.

Thank you for being the rep we need!

Great job by everybody who let their state reps know a $550M tax break for the biggest corporations in the world shouldn’t have been part of an historic income tax bill.

This was a fight, and working Washingtonians won.

No cops hired so far with WA’s new $100M grant program • Washington State Standard Local officials have been frustrated with the rollout of the grants championed by Gov. Bob Ferguson to address Washington’s status as dead last in the nation in police staffing per capita. They compla...

"So far, just six police departments have applied."

This is the grant program Ferguson was threatening a veto over if it wasn't included in last year's budget.

The imbecile doesn’t know that the only presidents to ever give a State of the Union address are US presidents because the State of the Union speech is a USA thing?

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Here's the appeal and the formal ethics complaint against SEEC Executive Directo Wayne Barnett. Failure to abide by the law and applying the law in a capricious manner is itself an ethics violation.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

This is not a good precedent, and I will speculate that if it was a rank-and-file City employee there would've been real consequences, at least from the City itself.

This slap on the wrist is inviting high level officials to do stuff like this again the future.
