This is hands down the dumbest defense I've ever heard of Trump's economy by one of his own advisors. Stacey Abrams and I discuss.

🏛️🤍🏛️ Sun, Oct 25 An abundance of whales yesterday! T46s incoming Admiralty; T65A5 Indy traveling w/T34As, T37 members & T137s (-Jack) in Saratoga; humpbacks & grays. Looking forward to whoever's around today. 👀 📷 T65A5 Indy tail slapping under Tacoma Narrows bridge. By Cherie StOurs 10/23. #psws

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Our 2nd rescue today is the grey Sterling. We found him with Steve in Wisconsin and they were very bonded. Steve was distressed after Sterling was bought by someone else and taken away. We’ve been searching for him ever since! To donate: bit.ly/3I1ucWT

Immigrants held in the Northwest Detention Center report having tuberculosis and rashes. They are not being treated or given medical attention. Tuberculosis (TB) is a life-threatening condition.

🧚🦋🧚 Tue, Oct 20 Humpbacks have made an amazing recovery throughout the Salish Sea after commercial whaling wiped them out. Inland Puget Sound we see several at a time, out west hundreds gather. 📷 A favorite of hers, Caspian CRC-15976 (BCZ0366), in Juan de Fuca Strait. By Cindy Hansen 10/04. #psws

Thanks to the fastest fundraiser we’ve ever done, Sterling has been picked up by our hauler Steve and is heading from WI to OK for quarantine. Jake made the short trip from the pen to Angela’s and the vet is on the way to see him and examine his leg. THANK YOU!

If Gavin Newsom runs for president in 2028, remember whose side he was on in the fight to rein in the wealth and power of billionaires in California. With @wkamaubell.bsky.social

It is.

Our documentary #BlueZeus is now available in all regions, including (finally!!) Canada and Europe. It’s available to rent and buy on Vimeo: bluezeusmovie.vhx.tv

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

🍂🖤🍁 Mon, Oct 12 Yesterday, reports of solo orcas in both N & S/C Puget Sound yielded no follow ups. Presumably T65A5 Indy was one, the other poss. T49C Neilson who was off Port Townsend Saturday. At least 2 grays feeding up north. 📸 Beautiful Indy having a look around. By Ryan Dicks 10/10. #psws

TGIF! It's been a long week, and we could all use something beautiful on our feeds. This excellent shot of BCX0158 "Kappa" breaching near Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver, BC was taken by Julia Adelsheim of Wild Whales Vancouver. 🐋

Join La Resistencia tomorrow October 10th outside the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) from 1-3pm with Urban Grace Tacoma and Tsuru For Solidarity to be in solidarity with people in detention and their families.

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

De Niro: When that coward, that fucking piece of shit Donald Trump tries to take our voice and power away. What do we tell him? Your fucking hands off our vote

They (GOP) know this to be true and it will always be true.

Black folks don’t hang themselves from trees.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt. Everyone has an opinion about why. But there’s one question you almost never hear asked: Who’s actually getting paid?

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

I'm in love.

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

We are the only people who will rescue us from this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for. The next 51 days are crucial. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-we-are-the-leaders

📌If I was running everything, these two minutes would appear on primetime spots in every media market in America.

La Resistencia volunteers who observe the deportation flights informed us this morning about the number of people deported from and transferred from Northwest Detention Center

🩶🤍🖤 Tue, Sep 8 Hopefully soon J, K or L pods have reason (🐟🐟🐟) to return to their inland Puget Sound habitat. We ♥️ sunny days, but rivers need rain to call salmon home. 📷 J pod youngster being their adorable lovely orca self during J pod's 1st foray inland last week. By Jason Luc 09/03 #psws

This is a big deal. @govpritzker.illinois.gov's Republican predecessor put the state's finances in the crapper. Pritzker has invested heavily in the state's people and infrastructure AND restored its fiscal stability. No small feat.

Skydog’s mission statement from its founding has been 50% rescuing #wildhorses from kill pens and BLM holding corrals + 50% educating and raising awareness for wild horses. In the Year of The Fire Horse, we made that happen in a bigger way than we could ever have hoped.

Fuckery of the GOP.
