Kristi Noem might be humiliated at her public firing by Trump, but she should be glad that he didn’t shoot her in the face for being untrainable.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

My family, both close and extended, only shares pictures on Signal. I think my photo on my Bluesky account is the only photo of me on the internet, and I am a pretty generic-looking little old lady. There are no pictures of my grandchild or any other children in the family.

It has been suggested that to replace the State of the Union Address, we should all tune in to whatever is on our local PBS channel(s) to send a message about defunding PBS. Where I live, I have a choice between PBS news and some nice nature shows. I will probably go for the nature shows.

Trump Stuns Governors With Foul-Mouthed Rant at SCOTUS The bipartisan event quickly took on a different tone when the president learned of the conservative court’s decision.

I knew he'd lose it, but expected tweet, not a live rant.

Tell State Farm: People of faith reject white supremacist slogans Rep. Andy Barr of Kentucky just launched a television ad declaring, "It's not a sin to be white." That phrase is a variation of "It's OK to be white" -- a slogan long embraced by white supremacists...

He must not like the concept of zero, higher mathematics, translations of ancient western texts into modern languages, science, medicine, or any of the other things Western Europeans got from the Muslims that contributed greatly to the progress of western Civilization! Study history, dude!

Listening to Shostakovich`s 5th at Seattle Symphony this afternoon, it occurred to me that Trump`s style is an awful lot like Stalin`s, but most of us are too young to remember Stalin. (Full confession: I`m old enough to remember.)

I learned about Doomtree years ago when it was the favorite group of one of my sons. I have been wearing their swag to protests and getting a lot of "Ooh, where did you get that!?" reactions. I just gave one of their No Kings flags to South Snohomish County Indivisible to use on March 28.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Local coverage of the Seahawks' victory parade was sponsored, with minimal interruptions, by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Their spokesperson expressed pride in their choice of a Pacific Northwest tribal symbol.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Where people say "car park," you dial 999.

Not in a country that says "car park." People in the US say "parking lot."

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.

I live in Edmonds, a little north of Seattle. My lovely, gentle, next-door neighbor routinely greets me with that sentiment.
