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.

Hey gang, how are you doing? I was in Tacoma on Saturday and I went to an anti ICE rally there. Man, there were a lot of cops there. Like, bike cops and cops just standing there. Feels very oppressive compared to Seattle and Suburbia where the police have kept their distance, at protests I’ve been to. Maybe that’s the point but it really is a noticeable contrast.

Stay warm, everyone. Anyway:

• Why does every picture of Brian Heywood look like he’s about to volunteer for the genital inspection squad?
• Pretend police plows pedestrian.
• Actual police in Portland are also a problem.
• I can’t imagine it passing, but I do like the legislation saying that the state won’t hire ICE agents.
• Hot take: you are a monster if you detain a 10 year old.
• Your legislators miss you and want a call.

On a scale of -5 to 3, how excited are you?

• When the response to Federal agents is indistinguishable from a shooter, maybe there should be fewer Federal agents?
• Also, let’s make it so those Federal agents can’t fuck around with license plate information.
• The Kennedy Center became so toxic so quickly.
• It’s a great day to write your legislators.

Gaaah.

• How much of a fuck up do you have to be for The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs to be like, come on, buddy? Keith Swank levels of fuck up.
• Katie Wilson’s early executive orders are looking good.
• Fuck ICE and whatnot.

So, etiquette question: I was biking to Drinking Liberally and it was dark out. It was still a bit crowded on the bike lane. I was behind someone with their light turned off. Should I have said something?

Anyway…

• ICE is not welcome in Seattle. And they are going to have a hard time getting convictions.
• A proper parole system would be better, but I do like Rep. Tarra Simmons’s bill to let prisoners petition for early release if a judge finds that they are no longer a threat to their community.
• If you’re on Bluesky, Representative Julia Reed has some good informative threads about the legislature.

Remember how on Monday I said that you could contact your legislators? Great news, you can do it today!

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will, as usual, be getting together this evening. Stop by, have a drink, 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.

Good morning to the legislature. A short session starts today. We have both a current budget shortfall and a structural one with our upside down tax policy. I am glad Governor Ferguson has proposed an income tax on people earning over a million dollars. That will be good for 2030 Washington state. But right now, Representative Scott is proposing a payroll tax to compensate for the immediate problems.

But it’s not just budget stuff. Also:

• There is a bill to ban police officers from hiding their face.
• There are the garbage initiatives that aren’t going to pass but might suck some of the oxygen from discussions, and will likely go to the voters.
• Making AI chatbots identify themselves as such.

It’s a good time to write your legislators. And let’s hear any bills that you’re interested in in the comments.
