- Seattle tonight has the vibe of Friday of a 3-day weekend when everyone is staying in town. 💙 💚 Go Hawks.
- I just watched the new Muppet Show and I want to throw into the universe that it’s exactly what we need right now. Please make more.

- Reposted by seattlekimIf Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.
- I’m sad we won’t be able to watch much Olympics stuff live this time around. But I’m happy to watch all the replays of curling!
- Reposted by seattlekimAgain, not once has the media asked “Can we afford ICE?” the way they obsessed about affordability with Biden’s student loan debt relief or Obama’s health care plan. And the media surely isn’t going to ask “Can we afford this?” about this crazy military spending increase 🤔🤷♂️ bsky.app/profile/mcop...
- We do not need a $1.5 trillion dollar defense budget. 50% increase in one year?!? breakingdefense.com/2026/02/excl...
- Reposted by seattlekimA reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

- Reposted by seattlekim"Do you want the newspaper to add 'and that's illegal and bad' to every article about Trump?" Yeah man. I do want that.
- Reposted by seattlekimAbu Dhabi poured a secret $500 million into Trump’s company. Then Abu Dhabi got the highest end AI chips that it had coveted (which could then go to China). & the Trumps took steps to try to cover it up. This should rank among the greatest US scandals ever www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
- Reposted by seattlekimICE just tear-gassed the shit out of the entirely peaceful union protest here in Portland. Children. Elderly. Thousands of people exercising our First Amendment rights.
- Reposted by seattlekimIn case you missed it, a Republican in *checks notes* … Texas — who Trump endorsed — just underperformed Trump by 30 points and lost a special election. The panic is going to be delicious.
- Forest bathing hike today at the Redmond Watershed Preserve. Our first time here, and it was a beauty.

- Reposted by seattlekim“Children were in the crowd screaming.”
- Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
- It’s a damn good night for some live music. Hello again, Fiasco.

- Me, achy all night. Me in the morning, realizing the rains finally came. It's been so long since it rained in Seattle.
- Reposted by seattlekimok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.
- Reposted by seattlekimHe had a syringe. A syringe filled with…idk (urine?) The President of the United States has incited this kind of action against a sitting, Black woman member of Congress. Where is the “tone down the rhetoric” brigade?

- Reposted by seattlekimIf Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO. What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions. Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi. Keep your eyes wide open.
- Reposted by seattlekimExactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.
- No timed entry this summer at Rainier. This makes me so sad, it was an effective way to manage overcrowdedness. And it improved my experience as a park visitor - easy reservation, no line, easier for rangers to maintain everything. Ugh. www.seattletimes.com/life/outdoor...

- West Seattle is lit right now. Fireworks and people out in the street whooping and hollering!
- Holy shit man.
- I was chill going into the start of this game but now I’m all worked up. 🫣
- Coooooooooop
- Bobo!!!!!
- Defense looking out of sorts here.
- Shaheeeeeed!

- Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...
- I just called and left voice mail messages for Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to encourage them to vote no on DHS funding. It took less than 5 minutes. I didn’t need a script. Make your voice heard.

- Reposted by seattlekimNot a “paid protester.” Not an Antifa battalion commander. Not “bussed in from out of state.” A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity. Murdered by the Trump Administration.
- We just drove past a single dude sitting on a corner in Covington wa with a hand written sign, Fuck ICE. Bravo, my man.
- Reposted by seattlekimThe Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.
- I have to work an open house today, and I was going to post a video about our new home community but it all feels so dumb and pointless right now.
- Reposted by seattlekimFrom this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
- Reposted by seattlekimTo repeat: It is highly improbable that I would agree with Bill Kristol. I agree with him 100%. ICE has become the gestapo. They need to go. Just saw a Minneapolis protestor yelling at ICE, near shooting site, "We will not forgive you." Correct.
- Reposted by seattlekimICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

- Reposted by seattlekimICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry. "They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.
- Reposted by seattlekimFederal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
