Oh my God. Joe Kent. Joe Kent. Joe Goddam Kent. Unconfirmed, but still on the group chat. You know, in case you were wondering if the Proud Boys or other white supremacists had a representative in the planning of the strikes in Yemen.

Joe Kent. It’s bad enough that fucko was nominated, but until he’s confirmed, or goes through the proper channels to become acting, keep his ass off the chat. “has been the acting chief of staff to national intelligence director
Tulsi Gabbard, according to three sources, but his role has not been
publicly announced” is not a goddam title.

The group chat on a private app is ridiculous and dangerous on its own. The group chat with random people accidentally added is worse. The group chat with Joe Kent intentionally added is even worse.

Good morning!

– The Senate is doing some bad stuff with e-bike and bus taxes. Transportation Choices has a petition you can sign.

– Free Lelo. Totally outrageous. Free Lewelyn Dixon. Disgusting.

– Presumably this story about Oregon water is also true of Washington.

Please join us this evening as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gathers for a feast of politics under the influence.

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 of the pub. 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.

The creeps the mayor’s office attracts. Just awful. I missed the original Stranger reporting mentioned above and I’m glad he’s gone. So there’s no specific call to action other than don’t let this happen in the future.

– Give up your Tesla. And if you don’t have a Tesla, you can give up any car. I gave up a gas-electric hybrid a couple years ago and I don’t miss it.

– Eastern Washington’s Representative Baumgartner’s town hall making national news, and snark.

– Stop covering for abusers, Mayor Harrell.

– Today is a good day to contact your legislator or member of Congress.

– I am generally opposed to Euclidean zoning so I am fine with more residential properties in SoDo. It’s much less important than density where there are mostly single family lots now, but it’s…fine.

– Congratulations to the people at Representative Baumgartner’s town hall.

– A handy list of ways Washington State is challenging the Trump Administration in court.

– Bail bond agents should not send people to immigration enforcement.

– Seattle PreK is still a thing, and your kiddos may be eligible.

– Great news! You can call or email your legislator or member of Congress.

Should I have realized that it was time to write this before it was a few stops away. My apologies?

But don’t worry. There’s still time to write your legislators and members of Congress.

G’mornin’

– i am glad that enough of Seattle thinks that the Trump Administration is a threat to do at least a committee.

– Look at all of the people using their Orca Card [h/t]

– Let’s go, Walla Walla students.

– Sexism is a hell of a drug.

Most jobs should not require a driver’s license. Like, if you aren’t driving, who cares? You get a wider pool, and also driving makes people nuts; I am on the bus right now and writing an incoherent post instead of being angry with the car in front of me.

All this to say, I am glad that a bill about it has passed the Washington House. No idea about its prospects in the Senate, but it sure would be nice.

Anyway, it’s a good day to contact your legislator or member of Congress. Maybe your US Senator on the budget.

Please join us this evening for a pint and a plate of political prognostication at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

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 of the pub. We start at 8:00pm.

It seems really bad to single out one law firm in an executive order. Being a Seattle person I have known plenty of Perkins Coie folks. They certainly don’t deserve this. This feels like a bill of attainder for the crime of investigating the President.

And also, many of the things they investigated about President Trump turned out to be true. Like, they wouldn’t deserve this if they were batting .000, but they have found many terrible things President Trump did with Russia.
