Iran's Lego vids certainly humiliate Trump--this new one sure does.

At 55.13% turnout for Seattle this election is now the second highest turnout since 2021 which had 55.30% turnout. Before 2011 it's precinct data only which would make getting turnout numbers painful.

Thank you to @slarrry.bsky.social for this tip. Using the Waze app to report Icy situations. She’s a great resister very active on TikTok always has great content. Give her a follow on both platforms.

Something that really pisses me off? People pathologizing complexity. When someone uses “complex” as a polite euphemism for “difficult” or even “I fail to understand that person,” it subtly equates complexity with pathology.

Plan accordingly, and truly to make sure you (as much as you can given your circumstances) stock up on necessities from small businesses, especially in your own community, and small businesses online. And if you need to buy stuff that day, try to use cash if poss & try to buy small business/local.

There is a plan to send a message to the developing authoritarian power structure… Economic BLACKOUT Friday February 28th No purchases except for absolute necessity. No money. No credit cards. No gas at the pump. No going out. Nothing. Show that we the people are the true structure.

ICE raided private cafe in a downtown Seattle high rise after building security let them in.
ICE is downtown

•••
My wife just texted me to say they had ICE coming through the kitchen she works in on 3rd and University.
Please keep your eyes open and if you know someone who may need help, help them.
Also, I can't find the post with the number to call should you see ICE.
Edit: for those complaining, the employee is a naturalized citizen. Yup, you read it right, citizen. And they were coming for him.
Edit 2: since many are asking, this is a private kitchen in one of the high rises downtown, not a public restaurant.
Building security let them in, but the general manager stopped them at the cafe saying the employee wasn't there today. The employee has been a dishwasher for the company for over a decade and is a naturalized citizen. If he was involved in anything illegal, he wouldn't be busting his butt doing the work he's doing as it's exhausting and dirty and not something one chooses to do if other income options are available. Also if he was doing anything illegal, local authorities would be involved. They weren't. It was just intimidation by a bunch of bullies who use one shade of brown as scapegoats.

I don’t have a problem with authority. I have a problem with focusing on optics over reality. I have a problem with lack of nuance, specificity & context. I have a problem with arbitrary exercise of power.

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father. Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

Philosophical gender question: I don’t tie my femininity or womanhood to any of my organs. I still feel like I’m mostly a woman, but I would not be mad if my boobs and uterus just disappeared at this point. I like a lot of stereotypical guy things. That’s valid, right?

What’s wild about having a marginalized identity is how often you find yourself teaching people how to treat you like a person. Hence the importance of solidarity.

histamine top #LongCovid symptom, many studies on it (educated guess: mast-cell degranulation triggered by uncleared viral debris still circulating) H1/H2 antihistamine can treat but not cure Try #Nattokinase #Serrapeptase enzymes which helped that part for me pharmd.substack.com/p/frequency-...

If you feel even the slightest bit that you aren’t back to your normal self after having Covid, or a soft-tissue injury, joint injury, circulatory problems—look into #serrapeptase & #lumbrokinase. They’re helping my recovery almost as much as physical therapy. #longcovid #fibrin #enzymes
