Why are we not talking about the mess that Inslee left him? And how taxing the rich at this point is likely to fail in courts and then there’s bad precedent for future attempts.

Stack of colorful books with titles the berry pickers, my name is Emeila del Valle, the convenience store by the sea, Paris express, float test, lesser Islands, and variations on the body. Laminated bookmark firm recycled children’s book in foreground.

Library haul! With free bookmark from the local Girl Scout troop 🥹 #booksky

The moment that woman lifted her shirt and patted her 'flat belly' to show her diet works, I said byyyyeeeee! (Then later said she's genetically prone to being slim, so cool of her)

Eight is Enough
The Wire
Sesame Street
NYPD Blue

Carla Hayden was the first woman AND Black person to serve as Librarian of Congress and deserved better than this

Three different kinds of dried flowers are encased in a clear glass wall hanging, daisies, and purple flowers from the spring.

Springtime fleurs. I love spring the best! 🌼 #craftsky

Thank you for supporting this and shining a light on the needs at the VA, Senator Murray!!

Washingtonians, I’m proud of Senator Murray right now if you’d like to give Senator Cantwell’s office a call and urge her to join the obstructive protest speech, they are answering phones at 206-220-6400. Her DC office is (202) 224-3441, but I wanted to speak to a human!

I’m reading Good Dirt today!

Stack of books, including the titles, the heart in winter, disaster, nationalism, the bog wife, beautiful, ugly, help wanted, instructions for a heat wave, and good dirt.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This is fantastic! I sent my letter along, but did change it and want you to know why. "Families" is not inclusive of everyone, and leaves me, in particular, out. Lots of folks are solo agers, childless/childfree, etc. How about "neighbors" or "people?" Please!!!!

Mar. 24, 1942 | U.S. Government Begins Army-Directed Evictions of Japanese Americans Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 1942, the United States evicted Japanese Americans from their homes in Washington and forced them into internment camps.

A bag that says, poké and chill related to sushi meal, alongside a stack of books with the titles: nosy, neighbors, the midnight feast, the book of evidence, instructions for a heat wave, we had a little real estate problem, and this is happiness.

Li’l thing I call shush-i 📚 this week’s library holds are promising ❤️ (I’ll forego the raw fish pic, not a fan of seeing food on socials!)

Why Are People Wearing Masks in 2025? a mental health professional’s perspective

"most of the people still masking are among the strongest, most self-assured people I’ve known...They are also among the most alienated, judged, ignored, harassed, invisibilized, and forgotten."

Yes, we are.

You should DEFINITELY NOT go to this site & mess with this DOGE survey by the Heritage Foundation.

Definitely do NOT put fake information where they ask for your personal details.

That would fuck up all their shit, man.

These people are doing SERIOUS WORK.

How To Be a Fighter When You Feel Like a Punching Bag Many of us are suffering from a kind of social atrophy.

My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

167 Indigenous languages still spoken in what is now the U.S. were on this land not only before Englishmen arrived but before English was even a thing.

Quote that says it's painful to witness infertility being used as a political plaything, super imposed over a nature scene.

I've seen the headlines about the executive order regarding IVF and it sent me on a rollercoaster of thoughts.

The ulterior motives 🤮 + people dreaming of being able to afford it + the likelihood that clinics will just find new ways to make money + bans on terminations (for medical reasons too)

Image of a beanie hat with three layers of trees- three different colors to replicate the evergreens in Washington forests.

The Washington state hat turned out great! (Nancy Bates designs) I’d recommend sizing up in needles if you make it, ran a bit small as directed. A perfect fir for my nephew though 🧶❤️ #craftsky

WA voters - Please sign in CON on SB5712/HB1937 before Monday morning! This bill would allow industrial stormwater polluters to shield themselves from enforcement and would exempt transportation facilities from having to take stormwater samples.
