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.
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.
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.

– Some of you drive like you’re hoping for an accident. Still, congratulations to Seattle for reduced pedestrian deaths and no bicycle deaths by cars.
– Fuck ghost buses.
– Anybody know where I can get a Federal building cheap? Oh, you do!
– We have a moral obligation to everyone in the country, but people in detention who might die otherwise,
– Anyway, please write or call your legislator or member of Congress. Do it today.
Good morning you lovelies. Did you watch Trump’s joint address? I sure as shit did not. I had better things to do, like walk part of the way to Drinking Liberally in uncomfortable shoes. Probably not my best idea ever, but it beats the alternative. Anyway, if you watched, congratulations on being more willing to be lied to by a jackass than me.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight for conversation and drinks. Please stop by if you are so moved.

– Seattle needs to build a ton more housing. Sometimes that’s where there are trees. We can also plant way more trees to make up for it.
– Tidepooling. Sounds like a blast.
– 15-Hour City
– Hey, go write your legislators or members of Congress.

– Those stickers are so mean to Nazis. Also, I appreciate the article becoming self-aware at the end.
– I understand Seattle politicians giving Seattle or regional businesses people. But you can just not with Musk and Thiel.
– I think of Representative Strickland as a median Democrat. If she supports something, many Democrats also do, and if she’s leading there’s probably close to consensus. So I was glad to see her specifically sponsor a bill protecting transgender service members.
– Hey go call your legislator or member of Congress.
Good morning. Seattle Bike Blog has a delightful post proposing putting large trees in traffic circles. Some could have other amenities. Tom’s proposal is largely for residential areas. And it sounds lovely.
I would also like to replace every traffic light on Aurora with something. There’s already a great trail that runs parallel, so it would not have the same need for a little park. But you could still plant a giant tree in a roundabout. Or! A Miawaki forest. The best Miawaki Forest in the region is already just off Aurora.
As long as there’s enough setback that you can see oncoming traffic it seems safer than Aurora now. On my ideal world, we would eliminate curb cuts and drastically reduce parking, but that’s not what this post is.

Phone weirdness means a short post today and I don’t know about the rest of the week.

Carl, Carl. You keep telling me to write or call my legislators. But what should I call them about? What’s the state of several important bills working their way through the legislature, preferably organized by category? Good news! The good folks at Range Media have you covered.
– Burien is a delightful city, why not just not be jerks to homeless people? Anyway, it’s good that they’re getting their day in court.
– As a member, I support REI workers on the board. Also, the bill mentioned in the article.
– Mass deportation is bad.
– A lot of shit going on right now. Good time to call your representative or legislator.
