Our success started & continues with widespread consistent masking & social distancing, made possible by an educated & compassionate citizenry, led by the same. Thank you @KCPubHealth and @SeattleCouncil! #SeattleStrong
Seattle has the lowest # of cases, hospitalizations, & deaths of any major city in America. It’s also the most vaccinated major city in America. Do with that what you will.

Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good. This is what we now know, and what we now have to do about it:🧵1/17

Josh Marshall, you were right in 2004 & now. Similar margin, similar hubris today. Consequences to follow.
There are no mandates. And Donald Trump certainly didn't win one. All their claims of a historic mandate to remake the country along MAGA lines are likely to crash on the shoals of reality and public opinion. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog… via @TPM

Ryan Walters, be careful what you wish you for when you want the next President Kamala Harris to pay for undocumented immigrants in OK. By your logic, OK GOP would have owed taxpayers over a billion dollars, had saner judges not saved your state from a stupid law. 🤦🏻‍♂️
This illegal immigrant wave is rushing our classrooms, and we have fentanyl pouring into our classrooms. The Biden-Harris border invasion affected our families, parents, and children. We need @realDonaldTrump back in the White House so we can fix this problem once and for all.

This is your brain on white nationalism. 🍳
Poppy vs. Community Notes 🧵 An updated thread. 1. How it all started

Little noticed is how the MAGA mentality has infiltrated to local government: the bullying, obstruction, gaslighting & marginalizing of others. Is this the legacy the Chamber & Amazon-backed #Seattle City Council wants to leave? Because they aren’t achieving anything else…

Putting the garbage cart before the horse… sad but unsurprising… McAfee / Rodgers garbage takes attract defenders because it lowers the bar for their own garbage takes… and defenders can’t find anything good to say about them except that they seem popular… 🤡🤡🤡
Crazy to say it, but Pat McAfee is bigger than ESPN. It’s why so many were let go to give the boat to him.

McAfee should have punted on this one…

Saka sounds like a rare combination of privilege and obtuseness… 🤦🏻‍♂️ More evidence that fake liberals really don’t understand people who truly suffer. #Seattle

No. It’s the abuse of environmental laws by right-winfg entities like the ones you work for… that’s like saying we should ban the initiative & referendum because sometimes the moneyed interests hijack them. 🤡
Brutal to be a retiring enviro lawyer realizing your field--your mental models, legal "wins", everything--not only make us poorer, they actively harm the environment Like discovering on your deathbed that you've been worshipping the wrong god and you're surely going to hell

Curt Schilling deliberately revealed someone had aggressive brain cancer against their will. His reason? He’s a ‘Christian’ so he’s allowed to violate someone’s privacy if it’s to ask people to pray. Curt Schilling is a fucking bag of shit.
Curt Schilling announced on his podcast that Tim Wakefield has brain cancer, without permission from Wakefield. The Red Sox released a statement addressing the comments trib.al/2Tmwnaa

When your first sentence is contradicted by your second. @RaisingZona 🤦🏻‍♂️ The history of #1 NFL picks is lined with players who have never won rookie anything nor even a Pro Bowl. Kyler Murray isn’t a bust or a wrong move - your coaches & GM sucked in other ways.

“In the news” mainly because right-wing outlets and pearl-clutching NYT are pushing false narratives. You’re basically quoting anti-democratic yourself @seattletimes. Save on Talton and just run an old Pravda story on how the US has far more homelessnes than the Soviet union.

To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal. And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist. Here's how that happened. 1/🧵

Let’s keep calling out the perpetual slight-of-hand machine that is Leonhardt’s newsletter. His “mission accomplished” one credits “natural immunity” more than vaccines. Sigh. Gonsalves is spot on. Dude is like an opioid. Gotta wean yourselves before it’s too late, NYT readers!

1/ Today I published a story I’ve been wanting to do ever since I landed on the @seattletimes investigative team (@STWatchdog). It’s a bit of an odd one with an interesting backstory, so I ask you to bear with me and read through this *thread*.
