Good morrow ladies, gents, and all the lovely people who don’t slot well into the binary.

• Data center regulation is dead this session.
• Ban new ICE facilities and old ones. And despite members’ concerns, local jail.
• Yesler bike lanes that don’t randomly end forcing you into traffic? Yes please.
• Write your legislators. Or call them. The session is almost over, so you might as well do it now.

Swing by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally this evening. We’ll be watching a few elections around the U.S., engaging in discussions about politics, and having a drink.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room starting about 8:00pm.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

Last nice day for a moment. Let’s enjoy it.

• Hunts Point mayor/ ICE landlord is a combination.
• Not sure what the minority party in Congress can do about a lawless President, but at least Representative Jayapal and Senator Murray are saying the right things and calling for a vote.
• The millionaire tax is still progressing.
• Write your legislators and members of Congress.

Good morning. Woo boy it really came down yesterday night, huh?

WaPo: ICE protests spread beyond big cities

Last week’s Friday Night Multimedia Extravaganza can be found here.

Good morning.  I hope you are well.

• That extra $11,000 in Jaahnavi Kandula’s settlement is heartbreaking.
• It is wild that an anti ICE executive order is needed. But King County is right to have one.
• Also appreciate Maritza Rivera opposing cooperation with ICE. Although we’ll see about the implementation.
• If you like football puns, you’ll love this story about transit during the Seahawks parade.
• Good to see the rare instance of Representative Gluesenkamp Perez not on the wrong side of a critical vote.

I went for a walk in Downtown Seattle this morning and not even on the parade route. Crowded and everyone in Seahawks gear. Only more so to come.

• If you’re planning to come, you really shouldn’t drive. Maybe take public transportation.
• Or bike.
• That sex trafficking presentation at Seattle City Council a few weeks ago was pretty gross. Glad people are calling it out.
• Data centers don’t produce many jobs and they take up a lot of energy and many are polluting. Really seems like the worst things to give a tax break to.
