Last nice day for a moment. Let’s enjoy it.

  • Hunts Point mayor/ ICE landlord is a combination.
  • Not sure what the minority party in Congress can do about a lawless President, but at least Representative Jayapal and Senator Murray are saying the right things and calling for a vote.
  • The millionaire tax is still progressing.
  • Write your legislators and members of Congress.

It is Tuesday and the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will get together to chat politics and whatnot. Stop by for a beer and some conversation. We get started at 8:00pm. With any luck, Sweet Potato Hitler will have concluded his vaunting prevarication and verbal self-pleasuring by then.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room.

Forgot to hit publish yesterday…

Good morning. Woo boy it really came down yesterday night, huh?

  • I’m glad people are skipping the State of the Union.
  • How little coverage Lilli Moreno’s death gets in the mainstream media is really sad making. Maybe in general how regular it is for drivers to hit people.
  • The kids are alright.
  • Your legislator is out there not being contacted. Just, just give them a quick call.

Good morning.  I hope you are well.

  • That extra $11,000 in Jaahnavi Kandula’s settlement is heartbreaking.
  • It is wild that an anti ICE executive order is needed. But King County is right to have one.
  • Also appreciate Maritza Rivera opposing cooperation with ICE. Although we’ll see about the implementation.
  • If you like football puns, you’ll love this story about transit during the Seahawks parade.
  • Good to see the rare instance of Representative Gluesenkamp Perez not on the wrong side of a critical vote.

I went for a walk in Downtown Seattle this morning and not even on the parade route. Crowded and everyone in Seahawks gear. Only more so to come.

  • If you’re planning to come, you really shouldn’t drive. Maybe take public transportation.
  • Or bike.
  • That sex trafficking presentation at Seattle City Council a few weeks ago was pretty gross. Glad people are calling it out.
  • Data centers don’t produce many jobs and they take up a lot of energy and many are polluting. Really seems like the worst things to give a tax break to.
