Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

You should have received your ballot for the Presidential primary. Get it postmarked or dropped off by March 12.

I know, who cares? Barring something strange, Biden and Trump are going to be the nominees. But still, you can register your support, or your opposition. You can write in “Bumface” if you want to register your displeasure with one bored poll worker.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Friday!

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 2/23/24, 8:12 am

It doesn’t preclude all punishment, but dang. The cop who killed Jaahnavi Kandula won’t face criminal charges. Just, I don’t know man. This felt like they couldn’t just sweep it under the rug. Maybe he’ll face a civil case or discipline in the department; here’s hoping. But for a person who hit someone and then laughed about how worthless they are, criminal charges seem pretty reasonable.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
