Oh hey. Seattle is being great on making sure to keep abortion access in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe. Thank goodness for them and the King County Council earlier this year. I don’t know what more there is to do, but keep up the good work.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

I don’t think there are good Republican elected officials. But Jaime Herrera Beutler did show courage during impeachment. While ultimately her vote for Speaker and for much of the Republican agenda is bad, her being replaced by Joe Kent, who came in ahead of her in the primary, would be a step down.

Fortunately, Democrats have a rad candidate, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. If you’re able to volunteer or donate, they could use your help.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Join us tonight as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gathers for an evening of politics, drinks and good cheer.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm out on the back patio.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another chapter nearby.

It’s going to be a hot day. So have a glass of ice water. If you can’t get ice because you’re at the office and they don’t have ice, just some cold water will do. Drink more than you think you need. Pee clear.

And while you’re at the sink, wash your hands. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Stay safe, Eastern Washington. There are too many fires, please eliminate several. Drugstores are still giving away N-95’s for COVID-19 (and hopefully you already had some), so you can use those for smoke. Pick some up.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Results! The Democrat will face off against the Republicans who voted for impeachment (but are still very much Republicans). The legislature looks more promising than it did. Maybe Democrats can even gain seats. We’ll have to see when the final results trickle in. And of course, we’ll still have to win in November.

Anyway, for goodness sake, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Remember to get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by tomorrow. Light ballot for me, but there are some interesting legislative and Congressional races. If you drop off your ballot in Downtown Seattle, please note that the location has changed.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Do me a favor. Find the biggest cup nearby. Fill it up with ice water and just drink as much as you can.

Dope. Seattle just passed an ordinance to make us a sanctuary city for abortion. This means, for example, we won’t enforce warrants on abortion related crimes in places where it’s illegal. I certainly hope that this can be a model for other municipalities and for the state as a whole in the future.

Thanks to all of the Councilmembers who voted for it, and especially to Councilmember Sawant. I love when Seattle does bold things.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

And please wash your hands right now, and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. So bossy today.
