Beautiful day for a bike ride if you bundle up.

• We’re disproportionately arresting Native youth.
• Gaps in the bike lanes are quite frustrating.
• The City of Seattle sure decided to screw up the budget going forward.

Robert Reich: Our economy is in danger. Here’s why

Last week’s Friday Night Multimedia Extravaganza can be found here.

I was at the coffee shop and the barista casually said “happy Friday.” And I realized I had to be at work shortly but I haven’t written anything. So here you are and thanks to her.

Good morning, you lovelies and uggos.

• Books With Pictures is having a fundraiser. I know it’s Portland, but they’re great.
• Who wants a little jet fuel in their blueberries?
• Pasco seems to think it has too many healthy teeth, as they vote to remove fluoride from the water.
• Feds want to cut homeless funding. And while state and local governments can make up some of the money, it’s a lot to make up.

Feeling some political tension these days? Looking for a release? It doesn’t take a vote of Congress…just drop by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally. Relax, have a beer, and join the conversation.

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.

What a delight last weekend was. I would have liked to see more sun, but it made the hours when it broke through the clouds glorious. But! A light drizzle or no rain at all is a fine time to ride a bike or go for a walk.

The long dark and its cousin the midday gray can be tough if they’re an excuse to stay in. But get out in it. I mean, have a good rain coat and some waterproof shoes. But seriously it’s good to get out. Enjoy yourself.

Barack Obama surprises plane of veterans as they arrive in Washington

Last week’s Friday Night Multimedia Extravaganza can be found here.

Yuck. What a miserable day. Avoid the rain if you can. A good day to take the bus. Anyway:

• Parking lots are awful for cities. So I am glad to see Spokane considering taxing them.
• You guys! Katie Wilson is going to be the mayor of Seattle.
• Marie Gluesenkamp Perez remains the most frustrating Democrat. I get that the district is tough for Democrats but the Obamacare subsidies should be a gimme.

• Fuck the people deporting wildland firefighters, still.
• I wouldn’t call it yet, but it’s sure looking likely that Katie Wilson is going to win the mayor’s race. Still, make sure that your vote was counted.
• This administration is absolute garbage. Part a billion, no funds for foreign students at the UW.

Join us Tuesday night for some adventures in post-election politics (over a pint) at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

We meet each and and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room. 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.

Well, the shutdown is going to end. Not with subsidies, with nothing more than a promise for a vote. At least Washington’s Senators voted against this abomination. Ugh, man. Indivisible has a script if you want to call Patty Murray or Maria Cantwell and ask to boot Schumer.

Anyway, today is a good day to donate to the Rainier Valley Food Bank.

• And speaking of, Redmond stop contracting with Flock Safety.
• I love the people making whistle kits.
• With the Trump Administration being little shits about SNAP benefits, today is a good day to donate to the Vashon Food Bank.

Hey gang. It’s nice when lefties win. Good results across the country. It’s too early to tell, but I think good results in Seattle. Well, the City Council races and a City Attorney who doesn’t hate Seattle’s poorest people. Across the state, it seems like a lot more W’s than L’s.

Also, I don’t know what’s happening with SNAP benefits, but you can donate to the Pike Market Food Bank.

Today is Election Day in Washington, so get that ballot in! Best to drop it off before 8pm in a drop box near you or swing by a post office and hand it to a clerk.

And then swing by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally for a drink over some lively discussion.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us out on the back patio. We start at 8:00pm.
