This whole interview is harrowing. Amazon workers are getting fucked and it needs to stop. If it’s government action, if it’s unionization if it’s customer backlash or something else, the status quo is unacceptable.

But holy shit, everyone. We planted one tree…. one fucking tree…. one goddam tree 6000 miles away from where we killed your son. One tree. For your caregiver. One motherfucking tree.

Everyone? How are we?

• The Spokane 3 trial is really exposing how awful Spokane police and ICE are.
• I keep saying write your legislators and members of Congress and other officials. As well as other actions. My friend and a Drinking Liberally alum is trying to make a clearinghouse of all of the sorts of things that you can do.
• Fire season looks to be particularly bad because the Trump Administration are fighting the worst fights.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets this evening for more adventures in politics and elections. And you are invited, so stop by!

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 starting about 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.

I hope you had a lovely weekend. I didn’t do shit, but I managed to still be exhausted this morning. Anyway:

• The trial of the Spokane 3 starts today. What absurd bullshit.
• King County Regional Homelessness Authority are not up to the task.
• Stabbed 40 times. Fuck transphobia.
• Don’t short change Seattle on pass through maintenance revenue. Our roads are in not great condition because of stuff like this.

Sorry the open thread so late, in my defense I just plan forgot.

Patty Murray has done a lot of good lately. Probably the best in decades. Maybe it’s easier to be in opposition to a garbage human than the drudgery of governing. But, a lot of Senators have not been up to the task. Cantwell is significantly worse. The rest of Senate leadership has been worse.

And yet.

It’s probably best if this is her last term. She won election in 1992. And there has been there ever since. She’s now of the longest serving members.

It would probably be a good primary election to replace her. A lot of people would like a shot at it. I think it would be good to get some new blood.

The point is it’s fine to retire in your 70’s. Even if you’re still doing good work. Leave them wanting more. But only if you leave.

Please join us tonight as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gets together to discuss politics, elections, the media, and whatnot over a cold one.

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 starting about 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.

Good morning to each of you, individually.

• Happy Week Without Driving to all who celebrate. I am glad that I got rid of my car several years ago, now.
