What happens when you take away bodily autonomy?
Woman is being deemed too immature to decide for herself that she wants an abortion but the unspoken side of that ruling is that she is determined to be MATURE ENOUGH TO RAISE A CHILD.

Compare @FirstStreetFdn's 2052 fire risk map that @mapgirl18 posted to the 2022 one in their 5th National Risk Assessment (firststreet.org/research-lab…)
Emergency Managers but lacking the resources & time to advocate for mitigation and risk reduction, despite the need.

I'll take "Old White Men Rigging Elections" for $100, Alex!
Seriously, though. The overlap of people who believe "The Election was stolen from Trump" and "I'm going to do what I can to cheat the system" is eye-watering. Irony at its best.
John Ley has admitted he doesn’t live in Battle Ground, at least not in a traditional sense. Ley is renting a room in Philip and Eileen Haggerty’s home, paying $1 per month, and is free to stay in the home whenever he wants. bit.ly/3QX6jTz

So... @elonmusk is going to want government organizations to pay in order to share emergency information with you?
Large orgs may be willing to do so, but most gov orgs are tiny and struggle to pay for staff, let alone subscriptions for numerous tools to communicate.
Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users

So... #SCOTUS is worried about their private document being shared while discussing taking away rights to health privacy. Do we file this under irony or hypocrisy?
The top court's deliberations & opinions should all be made publicly. We deserve transparency.
JUST IN: The Supreme Court confirms the authenticity of the draft opinion revealed last night by Politico. The chief justice has ordered an investigation into the leak.
"Put me in the camp of making sure the court and other institutions look like America," Graham said at the time.

Lindsey Graham has no idea what America looks like. The only thing he knows is that his corporate sponsors keep his pockets lined.
Day 3 of the hearing for US Supreme Court Nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. I am starting to wonder if there should be punishment for members of congress who purposely twist words, selectively speak out of context, and outright lie during nomination hearings.

Listening to the hearing of Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, we have to hear a lot of opinions from people who should never be judges/lawers tell a highly qualified judge why she shouldn't be a judge.

Lindsey Graham conveniently forgets that Republicans already used Supreme Court nominations as a political game in 2016.
But we already know Graham doesn't concern himself with inconveniences like "facts". thehill.com/homenews/senate/…
Washington Legislature has *finally* created a funding mechanism to help school districts develop retrofit/build seismically resilient buildings. WA is way behind CA and OR in this regard. Just awaiting Gov signature. clbn.us/3pybP

Seems odd to me that we let a group of people making decisions that affect the very fabric of U.S. Constitution interpretation operate behind shadow dockets.
The US Supreme Court should be required to follow the highest level of government transparency standards possible.

It is time to rethink cities. No more "business districts" that people must commute to. Turn towers holding nothing but cubicles into housing with shared work spaces. Allow space to exist that isn't only used 8 hours a day, then abandoned when people go home.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams met with 100 CEOs in order to encourage them to bring their workers back to the office. Read his proposed plan of action: trib.al/Qi3i0UR

Fun Fact: #ClarkCountyWA candidate for Sheriff, Ray Reynolds, is using "Hold the Line" as his campaign motto.
This is a terrifying message coming from a potential community law enforcement leader.
Who is he "holding the line" against? Community members?
/ “Hold the line,” for ex., was a popular chant at Trump events after the last election — among supporters who wanted elected lawmakers to “hold the line” on Jan 6 ie undo the election result.
Oh geeze... So @Meta (Facebook) warned a foodie group I'm part of for sharing false information.
What has the metaverse come to when you can't even make fun of false information or engage in satire??
And just so you know: Ketchup is not made from blood and cocaine.
