Not in my area (Seattle) but I’ve seen them on the road in Cle Elum/Suncadia Resort an hour east of Seattle.
Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.
Lady Gaga has put out a gorgeous anthem for Minneapolis.

Worth the 30-minute history lesson and chilling reflection on the evens in Venezuela and implications for our future. When Heather Cox Richardson is alarmed, we should be too.

But are you also on an airplane? I hear that’s the place to watch that show!

The West Wing returning to Netflix is all I need for the holidays.
Caring is an act of resistance in a system that thrives on indifference.
The idea of framing this vainglorious billionaire lot as modern day versions of the gritty, hard-bitten, working class, manual laborers who, for a pittance of wages, risked their lives and used their hands to make real the skyscraper dreams of the wealthy and middle classes is….lunacy.
I get up at 5:30 to take a walk, and am definitely in bed by 8:30, so you're on track!
Shred, toss with oil and roast with small pieces of apple for about 20 min. Add pecans or walnuts towards the end so they don’t burn. Delicious!
AI drafted the lede?
JD Vance is straight up LYING... AGAIN!
No one is making Trump & Vance fire federal workers during this shutdown—they just want to.
This is just another one of Trump's intimidation tactics—don't be intimidated by these crooks. I'm not.
There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.
JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown.
Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats.
Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.
"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."
Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.
This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

@idislikestephen.bsky.social loved the shoutout to The Spinanes on #pchh today! As a music lover in Seattle in the 90s they were on my playlist and I got to see them live at club shows. A great callback!
The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.
This is Portland right now. We’re“under siege” by pollen and potholes, that’s about it. We have a ton of live webcams if you want to watch us go to the farmers markets or walking our dogs, we love dogs.
Release the Epstein files.

House Republicans passed the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in the HISTORY of our country.
The GOP tax bill would deliver the largest cut to Medicaid and SNAP EVER.
Repost and help me put a burning, bright spotlight on this awful disaster of a bill.
Song of the day: Life During War Time
"This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around."

Can't. Get. This. Out. Of. My. Head. In a good way.
Thank you @ghweldon.bsky.social for sharing this song. Making my Friday! eurovisionworld.com/eurovision/2...
Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.
Yesterday was a good day. Haven’t felt that in a while. #handsoff
