Today I’m at the Northwest Detention Center to do my duty as a Member of Congress & conduct oversight. I even gave them 8 days notice that I was coming — something I shouldn’t have to do.

Despite having privacy release forms, they are refusing to let me talk to detained people. I’m not letting up.

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who didn’t know his birthday because he was born into slavery so he chose February 14 as his birthday.

If you are worried about Trump stealing the midterm elections, do the one thing that will make the biggest difference, support and follow Marc Elias in his never ending court fights. He is winning. He is a hero.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Strongly encourage you, yes you, to hit pause when you’re experiencing the desire to nitpick or correct someone else’s post today. Is the post actually wrong? Or are you just looking for something that you feel like you can fix? Is the nitpick necessary?

I always appreciate your perspectives and will read Sing is Nearer. Have u read "More Everything Forever" by Adam Becker? I found it very eye-opening about current visions of tech future that may differ from Kurzweil (altho I haven't fully corroborated it with other sources). Thx!

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

New Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on the dangerous racist propaganda operation right wingers are engaged in (with the help of our shitty press)

Whooping cough cases soar as vaccination rates drop In an NBC News data investigation of 31 states, about 70% of counties and jurisdictions fell below the target vaccination rate needed for community protection.

Whooping cough is PREVENTABLE with vaccines—but under RFK Jr.’s anti-vax and quack science directives, the Trump admin is turning back the clock on critical public health progress. Our children and families deserve so much better.

Good morning! Poetry is resistance. 🔥

I’d love to see more publications on this list! But I am happy to see @theneedling.com and @theurbanist.org here!

I know @seattlebikeblog.com also refuses to use generative AI.

You asked for it! We delivered Quack-O-Grams to our members of Congress urging them to #ImpeachRFK, and get that Quack out of office!

There's still time for you to get in on this fluffy, feathery action: Send your own duck at zurl.co/W1ZnB and keep the momentum going! 🦆

RFK Jr. has been methodically dismantling our public health system, pushing out scientists & experts who refuse to put his cuckoo-bananas nonsense over decades of hard, scientific evidence.

Today, while discussing how WA state is stepping up, I reiterated that he must be FIRED.
