Blue skies come down on me
White clouds are now in view
And you should see the view
And you should see the view, you know
Blue skies
Blue skies
Blue skies

Which I’m certainly posting for no particular reason…
Hey @KingCountyMetro, I’m at stop 18145 where the route 40 (due at about 8:25pm) just paused at the crosswalk 100 feet away, not for anyone using it, then drove right past the stop where I and two others were clearly waiting. What the hell?
Trump and his cronies and supporters like Musk are an existential threat to our citizens, our society, and the world. They must be removed from power.

Trump’s nominees are incompetent and unfit for office.
Trump and his cronies are an existential threat to our citizens, our society, and the world. They must not be allowed into office; those already in office must be removed.

Today, President Trump is attempting to end people’s ability to seek asylum through executive order.
This action directly violates this country’s immigration laws and is deeply immoral.
Philip LaRose retweeted
Today, President Trump took a number of actions related to immigration — each a step toward his mass deportation agenda, and some even unconstitutional. I will never stop fighting to protect immigrant families.
My full statement on these day one immigration executive orders:

We clearly saw Trump’s top priority today: surrounding himself with the richest people on Earth and billionaires who have been raising costs for our country’s working families.
What we DIDN’T hear was a real plan to lower those costs and deliver for average Americans.
Philip LaRose retweeted
Trump is beginning his second term with an oligarchy of powerful billionaires.
How can we trust people who don’t even know the cost of a carton of eggs to bring down costs for working families? theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

It’s a sad day for America when a President who refused to relinquish power and incited an insurrection returns to office years later only to grant violent criminals a Presidential pardon or commutation. I won't let President Trump paper over the reality of that dark day.
NEW: With a stroke of his pen, Donald Trump laid waste to the four-year effort to punish the people who stormed the Capitol in his name on Jan. 6, 2021.
Among the 1,500 pardoned: People convicted of brutal assaults on police and seditious conspiracy.

If you thought Donald Trump wasn't going to attack abortion rights or make it harder for women everywhere to access basic reproductive health care, you've already been proven wrong.
Just hours after taking the oath of office, Donald Trump took down reproductiverights.gov — a website to help women find health care and understand their rights.
They’re wasting no time assaulting freedom.

MLK Jr.'s vision of a more just and equal nation is something we must continue to work toward today and every day. He led a movement rooted in compassion and purpose—today we honor his memory and the way he changed America for the better.
Trump and his cohorts, the Trump administration, and the Republican Party and majority conservative SCOTUS which enable them are an existential threat to our citizens, our society, and the world.

Well, the Gig CarShare app is showing no vehicles whatsoever tonight, so it seems the service may be effectively shut down now, a full 7 weeks before the official last day. Very disappointed to lose this mobility feature that helped make Seattle life easier.

As soon as possible, we need to hold a special session of the Washington State Legislature to expand funding for state programs, bolster civil liberties, and reinforce support for vulnerable populations.
Past achievements are admirable, but the time for urgency is now.

.@KamalaHarris set out to fight to defend our fundamental freedoms and build a country that works for everyone. She stood up for working families, decency, and opportunity.
Though this is not the outcome we wanted, our fight for freedom and opportunity endures.
California will seek to work with the incoming president -- but let there be no mistake, we intend to stand with states across our nation to defend our Constitution and uphold the rule of law.
Federalism is the cornerstone of our democracy. It’s the United STATES of America.
