Seattle, we have to figure out how to line up for the bus. A bus comes to the crowded stop and there’s a scrum for the door. And it more or less works out until some asshole comes in from the side and they’re always let in.
I don’t know how we fix that. Maybe just social stigma.
I’m glad to see the opening of the all women tiny house village in the city. It will be a much better place for the residents than on the street. Longer term we need a lot more housing and more programs to get people off the street.
For well over a decade, the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally has served as a gathering place for people to talk politics. So please join us this evening for conversations over a drink.
We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the room at the rear of the tavern beginning about 8pm.
Can’t make it to Seattle? There are 253 chapters of Living Liberally, including 23 in Washington state, six in Oregon and three in Idaho. Find a chapter near you. Or consider starting your own chapter.
I hope that the next Supreme Court nominee gets questioned about how racist Donald Trump is. It seems to me that only 5 people think Donald Trump’s Muslim ban might not have been a Muslim ban. Unfortunately, they made up a bare minimum of the Court majority. How we figure out how racist Donald Trump is going forward will determine how many acts of collective punishment the United States takes under his Presidency.

This administration is still depressing as all hell. But! For the first time in a long time, I see maybe something. Being with 10000 people who oppose kidnapping children. I would probably feel better if my country wasn’t stealing children from their families, but I saw a little something.
1 Kings 11:1-3
King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.

The Special Olympics kick off this weekend in Seattle. I don’t know how they were awarded, but if it’s anything like the other Olympics, I imagine that the corruption was glorious. Bribes and kickbacks galore.
Since China has stopped taking our filthy recycling, can we all try to be better at recycling? Like, your congealed orange juice doesn’t belong in the recycling bin just because it’s in a plastic bottle. I will try to get better at keeping my recyclables dry.
We are now heavily into the 2018 election season, with primary elections tonight in Colorado, Maryland, New York (federal only), Oklahoma and Utah, and run-off elections tonight in Mississippi and South Carolina.

I hope you all enjoyed Pride if you went. I enjoyed the parade, but I had other things to do, so I couldn’t watch the whole thing. It’s not my place as a cishet guy to tell them how to change the parade, but it was pretty long.
Deuteronomy 22:23-24
If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.
