Millions of people do good in their communities every single hour and if we uplifted each example, we would drown out those who spend their time doing evil. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/n... - RIP to both of these men.

HUGE news!!! 💥 We’re incredibly honored to have earned Mayor Wilson’s endorsement. She ran to make Seattle a city that working people can afford to build good lives in, & that’s exactly our campaign’s vision too. Thank you for trusting us to be in the fight with you @mayorofseattle.bsky.social !

I feel so bad for the clerk! Imagine having the court produce three different concurrences about whether or not to thank you in a footnote 🫠

Trillionaires shouldn’t exist. & we shouldn’t be paying higher healthcare premiums to fund their tax breaks. Here are some things states like WA should consider to level the playing field & make the ultra-wealthy pay back into the communities that made them so wealthy in the first place. Wdyt?

At first, I was like, wait, is this just an Anders brief equivalent? And then I got to the part where the attorneys are actively arguing against their own clients and badmouthing them 😱

Kind of feel like we especially don’t need fancy law explainers at the moment. “Can the president just take money when he wants?” A third grader could answer this. A Yale law prof is likelier to write the wrong answer so their 2L can work for Alito

This podcast both really captures what it feels like to be a young person who badly wants to be seen and taken seriously and “treated like an adult” and also paints a very clear picture of how vulnerable that makes young people to abuse.

Happy Gideon Day! I love being a public defender and I feel enormous gratitude for Clarence Gideon. I think a lot about how every public defense win for every one of our clients stems from this 5 page handwritten petition by an incarcerated person with an 8th grade education demanding more.

My position is that while some fruits have better medians for sure (even a bad mango is kind of good), the ideal version of every fruit is exquisite beyond compare!

This poem lives rent free in my brain.
Diane Seuss - from frank: sonnets
I wish I still smoked so that I could sit outside in the dark and smoke rather than just sitting outside in the dark. I'm glad my parents smoked even if it gave me asthma. It was worth it to hear the roar of the match and watch them bring fire so close to their faces and from across the room or yard to see the lit end grow angry and then out of their mouth came a smoke dragon that climbed and swelled in the air. I'm about to be poor. I'll live as my mother has lived. Dish soap and dryer sheets and birdseed and greeting cards from the dollar store. Yet not being a tightwad.
She's like Jesus with the loaves, always a few bucks to slip into somebody's hand but never the collection plate. Unlike Shirl who held so long to a penny that it turned green in her hands. In this way, I don't need a Bible. The parables are there like the free cigarettes tobacco companies handed out to patients in mental institution.

Hmm..I guess that must depend on what else you need to pack, but it’s been fine for me! I do think that the 3-5 days of clothes advertised is probably more on the 3 side.
