Emmy in Ballard

This is Mary. Love democracy, minimalism, my dear departed Westie. Progressive Lutheran living in Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.
I love how the Ballard Alliance website has added a banner: "Home of Jimothy"
The Insider reports that Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted hysterically to Vladimir Putin's response to his open letter
Good comment by NYT reporter on live analysis of Trump speech...
Zero Melania seats booked here in North Seattle for tomorrow night.
They should show him the Peter's Projection map...much is an accurate representation showing actual size of countries in proportion to one another vs the distorted maps we're more used to ...
Unbelievable. This is headline from Washington Post's Editorial Board:
Map from the Seattle Times.... a bit unclear what map means but seems to pinpoint where levee breached. Evacuation affects some areas of Tukwila and Kent, east of the levee I believe.
This doesn't always work (depends on text attached to Trump photos) but when it does, instead of cringing you get a laugh. Download the app for "Make America Kittens Again." Replaces Trump photos with images of kittens. The best 99 cents you'll spend today. And it will lower your blood pressure.
My takeaway from what Rick Steves said at the No Kings rally in Edmonds, north of Seattle. You may have a cause you are passionate about, such as climate, but this is a time to set that aside and focus your all on saving our democracy!!
Just a tiny corner of the crowd packing the Seattle Center grounds! #HandsOff
Saw this post from X. Deeply disturbing. Flynn is attacking us Lutherans.
