Good luck to the family of Manuel Ellis. Their lawsuit won’t bring him back. But it is the closest thing to justice they can get.
Justice would have been him still being alive. It would have meant he wasn’t detained for no reason. It would have meant no officers kneeling on his neck.
Perhaps it means that the next cop doesn’t do those things. That we never see the need for another lawsuit.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.

Good morning, you lovelies. Seattle going back to grey and drizzly is so great. It’s going to turn too rainy, too dark and much too cold. But this? It’s grand.
Honestly, it’s the best. Mild, delightful drizzle. No smoke. No blazing sun. The rain is light enough to not soak you. Seattle summers are nice, but this is the best time in the city.
Anyway, you’ll be doing more things indoors, so please wash your hands right now and for goodness sake, get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.
7000 is too many deaths from COVID-19. And we’re a state with relatively low deaths. Thank goodness.
We’re a state that has taken precautions and has a governor who takes the virus seriously. Honestly, could you imagine how much worse it would be if Bill Bryant was governor, or Culp in the last year?
But still, 7000 is too high. There’s a free vaccine. It’s pretty effective. We could be mostly out of the woods by now.
For the love of God, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.
Hey! Tonight’s election night…in California. Stop by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally and join the election watching party and discussion. It won’t all be about California.
The Seattle chapter of DL meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm (or a bit earlier for the 8pm ballot drop). We will be on the patio in the back. The kitchen is still closed, but feel free to bring your own dinner. Note that a COVID vaccination card and ID are required to enter the Roanoke.
Chapters of Drinking Liberally are re-opening all over the place. If you can’t make the Seattle chapter, find a chapter near you.
Good morning to everyone who is fighting ICE detections of children. Fuck me, some of the stories in that article are awful.
It has got a lot better under Biden, but more work needs to be done. Including in Washington. The Cowlitz facility seems pretty bad.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now, and get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.

Good morning, and happy vaccine not quite a mandate. Seriously, it’s past time. I’m sure there are legal reasons, but I wish it applied to smaller business too. Oh, you only have 80 people, I guess it’s fine to put a bunch of unvaccinated people together.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.
Good morning. I am feeling rather well this morning, but I spent much of last week and the weekend hobbled. Fortunately, not COVID-19, but something nasty. It’s nice to be able to get tested for COVID, though. Just get that out of mind. It was free, but I did have to give them my insurance information, same as when it was King County.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.

Good morning everyone.
Happy first day of school to Seattle, and first week of school for much of the rest of the region. Are you confident in the mask and vaccine requirements as a student, parent, or school employee? Are you a teacher hoping that the last year and a half of distance learning didn’t leave students unprepared?
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated if you’re eligible.
Please join us tonight for an evening of politics and conversation over a pint, as well as a toast to the end of America’s longest war, at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

Good morning to everyone except Compassion Seattle. I don’t know enough about the legal case to have an opinion on the merits. But I do know that their garage initiative was garage. So I’m glad it won’t be on the ballot.
It does mean that the City Council and mayor need to step the hell up. They need to do more to house people. It’s well past time.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.
