This country never recovered from losing Michael Crichton. We used to have novels about shooting cyborg gorillas in the face with machine guns and when you got done reading it you knew how an MRI machine worked

Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes rightwinger who tries to recruit music industry folks to Q-anon type stuff and is who (according to Kanye) convinced Kanye to meet Candace Owens and endorse Trump. He just looks like a hippie.

We all get this. Everybody in the cinema understands who to root for. It's deeply depressing that in real life, so many people don't understand that the Fremen are coded like us. Nobody is going "the Harkonnens have a right to defend themselves" here.

Violent and military oppression makes you the bad guy. Collective punishment and extermination makes you the bad guys. End of story. It is not ever more complicated than that.

Other kid's parents: *does a friend-thing in a friend-way* Me: *does a friend-thing in a friend-way* OKP: *does a friend-thing in a friend-way* Me: "Hi, friend! We're friends now!" OKP:

Lol. Choe is facing hit and run charges for slamming into a Tesla and driving off. *chef’s kiss*

The State limits King County’s ability to raise the revenues it needs to solve pressing problems. Those limitations have gotten so bad that we risk having to cut critical resources like public health clinics that thousands rely on for healthcare. We can’t let that happen. 1/2

Begging these people to go to a library and see what folks actually do in there. Libraries are Kinko’s for people who don’t have any money. You can use scanners, send faxes, and print stuff for free. Believe it or not, poor people need and use this stuff.

Thread... My TL is full of conservatives who don't understand how Affirmative Action worked. Three points 1. The demographic that benefitted MOST from AA—more than Black, Latino, & Asians COMBINED—are white women. 1/

The facts don't lie. The movement to repeal Affirmative Action, or ban DEI (as dozens of states have), or demonize CRT—was never about merit & was never about qualifications. It was always about reviving Jim Crow white supremacy. And the scary part is—so far—it's working. 4/4

Grateful to see my colleagues pass my King County minimum wage proposal out of committee this morning! On to Full Council in May 🙏🏾

It is wild the degree to which every single institution in this country has been transformed into a private equity firm over the past 50 years.

This week I got more than 2-billion points in a game of Marvel Snap, and also Covid for the first time.

Thank god this would NOT happen during a Joe Biden presidency in a state ran by a Democrat governor in a town with a Democrat mayor with 2 senators who are democrats.

anyway, I say all this to say: how are we preparing for the reality that mass arrests and protests are psychologically & physically violent b/c protestors are facing militaries with massive budgets and unchecked power? what will be the aftermath for ALL of us? 8/n

we must be asking ourselves and our students what we are willing to sacrifice and move from that empowered space. we are not only fighting /for/ our lives; we are fighting /with/ them. the tools and technologies of our enemies are different now. tactics must change. 11/n

we will have to get guerilla with our tactics and move away from representation and celebrity/clout chasing if we truly want change. when confronted with the possibility that you might lose everything, including your life, how would you fight? what/who would you protect? 12/n

Guys, this is the Real Thing. You can see why I’ve been silent for some time now. Because I didn’t quite know how to say it any harder than I used to say it. So now here we are. And the first lesson is: you gotta understand this is real deal fascist collapse.

HAPPENING NOW - The “Traffic Jam for Peace” on I-5 North passing Boeing Field and will exit on Edgar Martinez Way with a rally across from T-Mobile Park. This kicks off the City of Seattle’s 100 Days of Peace to address gun violence in the Emerald City.
