I am on vacation next week and part of the following week. So open threads may be sporadic.
Anyway, I’m glad that the mayor and city attorney finally realized that Trump’s executive orders are bad. It’s like having elections forces them to do things. But there are people who understood that Trump is bad already.
– It is good to see faith leaders who seem to care about immigrants.
– Trump making electricity more expensive is an interesting story. But the headline framing it as a question was strange, and doesn’t fit the actual article.
– Don’t forget, your Cybertruck needs a regular wash in saltwater and lemon wash.
With Election Day in Washington just a week away, right now is a good time to fill out that ballot and drop it off at a drop box near you. Then, swing by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally for conversations over a drink.
We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us out on the back patio. We start at 8:00pm.
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.
Oh hey. The newly opened Pier 58 looks pretty great. It looks like kids were really enjoying the new playground and people of all ages have more park space by the water. And whatever my objections were to the tunnel, this isn’t all in the shadow of a giant freeway.
As I was walking down the waterfront to work this morning, there were already kids playing on the playground. I think it’s a hit beyond just the opening celebrations.

– Renton, don’t vote for a guy who posts MAGA garbage on Facebook.
– Davison’s tenure as City Attorney is fucking embarrassing.
– During the Teen Dance Ordinance years, the Old Firehouse in Redmond was so rad to have. I am glad there are still people willing to fight for it.
– Stop covering for creeps.
– It’s hot again and I am working from my un-air conditioned apartment.
– Division Street in Spokane could be a lot better.
Coming home from Drinking Liberally, the bus (49 South) was as crowded as I’ve ever seen it at 10:00. Are people taking the bus while I-5 lanes are closed? If so, welcome and I hope you stay after it opens up.
– Anyway, your legislators and member of Congress go uncontacted. Tragic, but you can fix it.
Ballots have dropped in Washington state. Have questions? Bring them to tonight’s edition of the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally. We may not have the answers (because…you know, enigmas never age), but we’ll have fun discussing the options.

Your ballot is arriving soon if it hasn’t already. Here are some voter guides. It’s more Seattle/ Western Washington centric than maybe it could be.
– Fuse has a progressive voter guide.
– The Stranger and the Urbanist both have endorsements.
– Seattle Bike Blog has many transportation and safe streets endorsements.

Hey, it’s under 80 degrees for a few days anyway.
– I don’t know if the US Attorney stepping down is related to the ICE related arrests but the timing is a lot.
– Good news if you feel like you need to protect dogs or kids in hot cars.
– After months in ICE detention, I can’t blame Alfredo Juarez Zeferino for accepting deportation, but dang.
– Ballots dropped this week. Get them postmarked or dropped off by August 5.
Man it’s going to be hot as fuck today. I am going to insist that you get yourself a big glass of water right now. Don’t wait. Throw some ice in. It already feels gross and it’s only getting worse.
It’s Tuesday! And that gives you a darned good excuse to go out, because the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will get together to talk politics and drink beer. Won’t you join us?

– Racing the 8 for hopefully better service in the future.
– We’re going to have to do more to save the orcas at a time when the Federal government is doing less.
Going to have to decide who to vote for for King County Executive soon. I recommend the Hacks and Wonks interviews if you haven’t heard them yet.
