Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 9hSenator Murray, where is the Democratic leadership's strong defense of Ilhan Omar? It's hard to think of something that is more important in the defense of democracy than going *hard* against the admin's attempt to denaturalize a member of congress. Let's see some fire! truthout.org/articles/chu...truthout.orgChuck Schumer Hasn’t Said a Word About Trump’s Attempt to Deport Ilhan OmarEthics lawyers say the raid violated the Hatch Act.

Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 9hJust yesterday I was on the bus and realized that the building that used to house the I-Spy on 3rd between Pike and Virginia has been boarded up and vacant for, I don't know, two decades?

Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 16/10/2026I haven't thought about it in a long time but the first few years I lived in Seattle I was struck by how much people identified with the high school they attended. I guessed it was just a Seattle cultural thing. But then again I hated high school. 010 0
Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 16/10/2026I recommend @electioncheatsheet.org to see who all of the left-ish orgs are endorsing. A lot of 100% agreement, but there are a few races where all agree except the stranger. Something to think about. 000 0
Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I mean, is there anyone who has engaged in edgelord behavior that has publicly owned it this thoughtfully? Especially without any precipitating "incident" that was affecting his bottom line. 120 0
Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Albini said some dumb shit but was a great example of making amends the right way. He did all the things: name the harm he caused and accept accountability for it, apologize sincerely, make things better through his actions rather than just words.

Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Stop saying "purity politics"! If you want to say that people should vote strategically, then fine. But saying that something like a person's right to exist is some kind of casual tribalism or disingenuous virtue signaling fucking sucks. You should be saying please and thank you. 1441 0

Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You can log off, stop posting at trans people demanding that they participate in their own destruction, and canvass for this lady.

Dr. Ew @skweetis.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If you need a bigot to win so that *you* can be safe while trans people are sacrificed then at least have the decency to do it without them. Get on the phone banks, hippie grandma. Get this anti trans person elected for *your* comfort. 0140 0
