This and revoking citizenship. It reeks of, "She was mean to me, so I can be misogynistic toward her now."

I mistyped an email sign off as “all the bees” instead of “all the best”. I reckon I’m going to stick with it. I can’t think of anything negative that can possibly come of wishing someone all the bees.

I don’t find it productive to shame people for ‘showing up late’ wrt to social awareness. We all show up when we show up. But I strongly encourage new people who show up to do so while assuming a listening posture. I promise, we’ve heard your ideas & opinions before, back when we were less informed.

WA state is preparing for the loss of SNAP benefits, at Governor Ferguson's behest. $2.2 million from the state vs $37 million from the feds feels like a drop in the bucket, but I'm sure will be life-saving for those who get this help. Our AG is also suing the USDA 🎉 governor.wa.gov/news/2025/go...
Governor Ferguson moves $2.2 million per week to support food banks ahead of federal SNAP cutoff
October 28, 2025
Federal food benefit funding to run out due to government shutdown

OLYMPIA — Governor Bob Ferguson today directed nearly $2.2 million per week to provide additional support to Washington’s food banks in the wake of the Congressional Republicans’ government shutdown. Beginning Nov.1, funding for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will end due to the continued federal government shutdown.

Nearly 1 million Washingtonians rely on the federal SNAP program, with approximately $37 million of federal funds going to households across Washington every week. Governor Ferguson is working with state agencies to mitigate some of the harms caused by the federal government shutdown. Attorney General Nick Brown filed a lawsuit today against the USDA, arguing the suspension of SNAP is unlawful.

Rural Washington will be hit particularly hard when federal SNAP benefits stop. In Yakima County, for example, 28 percent of residents rely on SNAP — the highest percentage of any county statewide.

When federal SNAP funding runs out, more Washingtonians are expected to turn to food banks and pantries. These community resources are also facing historic demand in the midst of rising food costs. Individuals should expect longer than usual wait times and limited resources.

“President Trump and Congressional Republicans have shut down the federal government,” Governor Ferguson said. “As a result, Washingtonians are going to lose access to federal SNAP benefits. We’re working to mitigate these harms until the Republican-controlled Congress gets the government running again. I’m grateful for the hard work of local food banks and pantries to help people keep food on the table. If you’re able to support your local food bank, either with donations or volunteering, I encourage you to do so. We’ll keep looking for innovative solutions at the state level. Presiden…

New polls from Gallup, YouGov, and out of Virginia show voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle the economy. Nationally, Dems now have a 4-point margin on the issue — an 18-point shift away from Trump since 2023. Time to update your priors www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-show...

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

They really are mostly just local, community events, that are fun and validating. We brought our kid last time, and he had a great time reading the signs and cheering for the people honking as they passed. Got a pic with someone in a Statue of Liberty getup.
