Governor Ferguson continues to be quietly successful and effective.
Local elections matter more than ever, and WA State chose well.

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

Always 😊

The only good news right now is that this regime is going after SO many categories of people — women, POC, trans folks, immigrants, kids, Medicaid recipients, biz owners, federal workers, people trying to afford groceries, would-be voters — that there are a LOT of folks to lock arms with

I'd never before been attacked with as much venom as when I posted or reposted anything about Aaron Bushnell (on X).

Can't believe it's been 2 years...I still think about him all the time.

This made me sadder than I've felt in a long time 🥺

Anyway, here is my opinion:

Transphobes are trash and they are part of a fucking bully culture that harms people who have done nothing to deserve it.

Don't care who they are or how they try to position it.

Whoa

We have such an effective governor.
Local elections are so very important.

Proclamation from Gov Ferguson on Ramadan. Excerpt: WHEREAS, Muslim Washingtonians are an integral part of the social fabric of our state; and   WHEREAS, Muslim residents contribute meaningfully to Washington’s economic vitality, public service, education systems, health care institutions, small businesses, technology sector, arts and culture, and nonprofit and community organizations; and   WHEREAS, the Washington State Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion and affirms that all people have the fundamental right to worship according to the dictates of their own consciences; and   WHEREAS, Ramadan is a sacred month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community observed by millions of Muslims around the world and by thousands of Muslim Washingtonians across our state; and   WHEREAS, Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is one of the five pillars of Islam and is observed through fasting from dawn to dusk, increased prayer, charitable giving, and acts of compassion and service; and   WHEREAS, through these practices, Muslims reaffirm values of generosity, self-discipline, gratitude, and care for neighbors, values that strengthen families, uplift communities and enrich our shared civic life; and   WHEREAS, the observance of Ramadan culminates in the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a time of joy, gratitude and renewed commitment to community and service; and   WHEREAS, Washington state adopted a historic law in 2025 officially recognizing Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays, making Washington the first state to do so; and   WHEREAS, Washington state recognizes the many contributions of Muslim residents and reaffirms our shared commitment to religious liberty, mutual respect and the principles of inclusion and understanding that define our state;   NOW, THEREFORE, I, Bob Ferguson, governor of the state of Washington, do hereby proclaim February 18-March 19, 2026

Ramadan Mubarak to the thousands of Muslim Washingtonians beginning a month of fasting and prayer. 

Washington state supports our Muslim communities — including by being the first state to recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays.

Thank you, Governor!

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

I think Bluesky is currently the best social media platform for keeping misinformation to a minimum, maybe because it’s not popular enough to be a target yet

Half the shit my friends, including fellow academics, share on Facebook is made up crap that they believe is real

Threads is atrocious too

Impossible to watch without smiling 🥰

lol 🤭 good one 😂

Why aren't we hearing more about this? Oh I know why, because the world seems not to care when white nations bomb brown ones.

I just started a 3rd pack using bios for inclusion, but I’m happy to add. 300+ accounts.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.

Starfleet Academy is the Star Trek we need right now.

Such an inspiring and beautiful soul. 100% worth your time:⬇️

Anyone who won't speak truth to power is not a journalist, they're a complicit propagandist.

Thank you 🙏 and finally it makes sense!
