On Saturday you can take light rail across the lake to a No Kings rally.

• So many types of bees.
• I can’t believe that Wilson is still Assessor. At least he’s facing consequences.
• Appreciate Axios’s 3 part look at the Seattle crisis response team needing cops to tag along.
• Look at all of the volunteer commissions in Spokane County. There’s probably one to join, or at least get involved with, in your area.

I feel like recently I have started these by talking about the weather. But today is different I am talking about talking about the weather.

• Look at all of the No Kings events.
• Some Seattle City Council members really like the Flock cameras (item 2).
• Cherry blossoms. So dang many.
• 3 cheers to the kids doing ICE Out protests.
• Family Promise of Puget Sound has money to keep going.

Please join us this evening as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally toasts in the Spring season. Stop by, hang out, and enjoy a beverage.

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.

Good morning. I am still adjusting to the nice weather. How lovely, though. Too cold for shorts  not that it stopped some of you.

• The fewer Flock cameras, the better.
• The fewer parking spots, the better.
• The fewer ICE agents at airports, the better. And SeaTac has 0 as the correct number.
• I am struggling to figure out what the sign off should be. Contact your member of Congress is fine, but maybe something more Washington specific?

The ferns and the moss are happy with this gray. But I can use some sun.

• Fuck ICE
• Also, fuck long COVID.
• Fuck CONCACAF, as long as we’re here.
• I don’t even drive, but fuck these gas prices.

Happy Transit Operator Appreciation Day everyone. If you said “thank you” enough while exiting your bus, the Water Taxi fairy will reward you.

• Nobody wants the TransAlta power plant but President Trump orders it to stay open is a real microcosm of his entire administration.
• Matt Shea, go away.
• Are there more important elections this year than the banner in the International District? Maybe. But I won’t see my member of Congress or state legislators as often.
• 500 shelter units by the end of May feels very ambitious.
• A nurse is a human in Washington.

It is a Saint Patrick’s Day edition of the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally this evening. Stop by for a drink, diverse conversation and good luck.

Hey gang, how was your weekend?

Just seeing the list of bills Governor Ferguson has signed, it looks mostly good. But other than the billionaire tax, nothing strikes me as particularly bold. Like, I don’t need every bill to be amazing, but I do want more.

I don’t know. Let’s he’s definitely better than any Republican would be. But, in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor since 1980, that’s not enough.

Barack and Michelle Obama announce that the Obama Presidential Center opens June 19

John Oliver: USAID

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

Surprise! It’s snowing in Downtown Seattle. Nothing sticking, but maybe upland or a place with a little less urban heat island? Anyway…

• Sine Die on a legislature that passed the millionaire tax, but probably unnecessary pain until it’s implemented. In general, a lot of good things, but also a lot of potential left on the table.
• WTF KIRO?
• I love every story about people using waste for good products.
• I’m not the hiker, and I don’t think any of the writers here are hunters, but man big money ruins everything.
• Wild that they’re still making preparations for the Iran game in the World Cup.

I have lived a fairly privileged life. But someone making $1 Million a year is so outside my daily experience. On top of that to complain about taxes on the million and first dollar and beyond? I mean, these captains of industry have to have their pet legislators pull an all nighter to try to stop a tax on dollar one-million and one that year. Just pathetic. If you’re making that money, the state has been very good to you. Show some goddam appreciation.

Anyway, this is my last post before the end of the session, so your last reminder to contact your legislator.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gets together this evening for drinks and discussion. Join us, if you can.

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.

I don’t know about you, but I got my ass kicked by the time change. Where do I go to get my hour back? Anyway…

• Did you attend the Women’s March?
• The legislative session ends this week and hopefully they have done enough to secure the state from President Trump.
• Also, landlords have to disclose flood risks to tenants. In practice, I’m sure it will be part of a long list of things in the agreement you sign to move in. Still, better than nothing.
• The Senate version of the mosquito fleet act has a lot of unnecessary provisions that I hope can be removed in the final version.
• Call or email your legislator.
