Comms Director for @WADNR. Very fond of @LaurenMcGowan. Glad that a word like KALSARIKÄNNIT exists. I too have concepts of a plan. All opinions are mine.

Best thing the Times has published in years.

This is a really big day for the state and our forests. Incredibly proud to have lead the team that rolled out this announcement. More even prouder to be part of @waDNR and to work for @CPL_Dave!

Now it’s time for the next steps to move our forests forward!

[Commissioner of Public Lands Dave Upthegrove @CPL_Dave]

Today, I signed a Commissioner's Order to conserve 77,000 acres of structurally complex forests - including 100 percent of our older forests.

Imagine hating Big Bird and Mister Rogers and PBS Newshour this much.

Spot on @CPL_Dave.

“We need to be preparing for the wildfire season that’s one sunny week away, not responding to a poorly written executive order that will put us all at risk.”

Also, if the "I have plane, will deport ppl" biz is so good, why hide it?

"...crew members for these flights will wear a “generic uniform with no Avelo branding,” Goff said...In addition, the aircraft will be all white, with no Avelo regalia.

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

Well this deportation cash grab is certainly gross, @AveloAir.

Look AI is coming for all of us who write, but it's not gonna kill our jobs dead with the em dash.

I love that puncation mark and have (maybe over) used it for years.

If this doesn't horrify you, if this doesn't show you the deep moral rot at the heart of the Trump administration, then I don't know what will.

What @CoryBooker is still doing right now is something good.

More us of need to stand up and keeping standing.

That is one way we start to push back.

We’ve moved to secret police pretty quickly.

I just got the Wordle in one for the first time ever so I think I’m gonna take the rest of the day to celebrate.

It’s the small things in life right now.

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

When we try to deport a legal resident for exercising their constitutional right to protest a war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced an entire people, we have lost ourselves.

We are no longer the country we think we are.

Brings to mind this from Hitchhiker's Guide: "...the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you—daft as a brush, but very very ravenous)"

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

They all think we're so blind we can't see the idiot in the tech support t-shirt behind the Resolute Desk. https://t.co/5FfTRlX3Kc

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

We gotta figure out how to fight back because whatever we’re doing right now, it ain’t working.

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

It’s been exhausting watching us drop whatever scrap of moral leadership we had left this week, cutting funding to AIDS clinics and Ebola research and firing wildland firefighters. Capping it off with Trump and Vance walking away from being “leader of the free world” is gutting.

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

Daily reminder that billionaires won’t save us.

[Covie @covie_93]

jeff bezos went from promising to never interfere with the editorial decisions of the Washington Post to flat out saying the Post is not allowed to publish any opinion he does not agree with.

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

but why?

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

The treatment of these dedicated people is sickening.

They are just trying to do a job.

For you. And for me.

I don't think we're going to like what happens when those responsible for food safety, medical research, environmental protection and more are done being purged.

[Michael Edward Kelly @MichaelEdKelly]

If you like having clean air and water, thank a civil servant. If you like having safe food, thank a gov't employee. If you like that there are people ready to fight wildfires, thank a public worker.

What Trump and Musk are doing is stupid and will hurt us. All of us.
