The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets this evening for some politics and conversation over a pint. We’d love to have you stop by.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. You’ll find us on the back patio.
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 city of Seattle has had years to figure out ways to deal with homelessness in SoDo ahead of the All Star Game. Really could have got ahead of things, and figured out how to get people housed. Instead, last minute sweeps. Predictable, but not necessary.
We’ll have chances in the future to do this better, but I fear that we won’t. And in any case, this was squandered.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Theo. What the actual heck? They are a company that claims to care about workers in the chocolate industry, and maybe they do. But this doesn’t apply to their own workers. It’s really disappointing. Gross.
