The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting. I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him. Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

Really exciting to see the momentum pick up for a #GeneralStrike

The “it’s okay for me to post unlabeled AI slop created with tools owned by the oligarchs we’re actively fighting” crowd seem to ignore the fact that there is real art created by real people they could be posting instead.

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

What's bigger than a Geno Suárez 2nd Inning Home Run to take a 1-0 lead? An 8th Inning GRAND SALAMI to put the @Mariners up 6-2! This visual comparison of both seismograms shows the moment's magnitude of Geno's Grand Slam was 3x bigger than his first homer. #seizethemoment @mlb

My horoscope ♒️ for today. 7 million of us went out and did something about it.

THANK YOU to all of the patriots who made their voices heard peacefully across Washington state. 🦅🇺🇸 This is what democracy looks like! We use our voices and our votes. NO KINGS IN AMERICA! ❌👑 📸 @seattletimes.com

Protest

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

#A_NewHope ✊

Nearly 5k people showed up to our small-town protest. A few folks flipped us off but only one guy hit the curb in his attempt to scare us off the sidewalk 🤪

Note that this is "A Statement by Prince Andrew" not a "A Statement by Andrew." He's not shedding that title. Just "The Duke of York," which was an honorary from mum. So it's all a slap on the wrist for raping girls. He gets to keep the money, gets to keep being a Prince, and stays out of jail.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Red sky at morning- fascists take warning! It is a great day to march for democracy- No Kings Seattle at seattle center. Meet you there at noon! Set up team already hard at work to make this a great and impactful event! “ photo by one of our volunteers! #nokingsseattle #nokings @Indivisible

Somebody, Somewhere is one of those rare shows that crawls into your heart and changes you forever. I’ll never get over the beauty of it.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to both avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

The most interesting about Trump springing George Santos from prison is that Trump is still in the Epstein Files.

I actually am Old Enough To Remember when it was an extremely big deal that Jenny Durkan wanted to repurpose the city's soda tax to backfill the general fund. Harrell's budget casually uses $7.2 million from the soda tax to backfill the general fund. publicola.com/2019/07/19/w...

2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

Most people are just one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. That's not a secure economy. Everyone is living on the edge, underpaid by their bosses and overpaying their creditors.

Trial shows that ICE agents lied, concealed evidence in an illegal effort to convict the "libtard" who filmed them.

Even my internal monologue is too tired to do anything but scream into the void today

This and a #GeneralStrike

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities? If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

Andrew Cuomo: taxpayers should pay for $60 million in legal bills for my sexual harassment allegations Also Andrew Cuomo: $60 million is too much money to spend on a pilot program to deliver cheaper groceries

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

I haven’t laughed this hard in YEARSSSSS thank you noise boys and @dropout.tv for those mobster names

A peaceful protestor was arrested yesterday in Portland and taken across state lines to a jail in Vancouver, WA. Her husband had no clue where she was at and didn’t find out until 2AM this morning that she was taken to Washington state. #portland #washington www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

WAR-TORN PORTLAND

I’ve attended every protest that we’ve had this year in my small Washington State town. No one has paid me or hired me; I just hate fascists, love my community, and enjoy spending time with others. Funny how hard that is for the fascists to understand.

we need to abolish this shit

As always, I wonder if the Times editorial board reads their own paper. I also wonder if Harrell read the story his opponent Katie Wilson cited very explicitly in making that remark, and just chose to ignore it because it's much easier to imply that his opponent is just an airheaded woman.

I was at this debate. The Seattle Times is totally misrepresenting what happened to further the false narrative that Katie Wilson is a nitwit. Wilson was talking about the fact that the CARE team has not been allowed to exercise "its full latitude of responsibility" under the existing contract.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

#kristinoem and her workout plan for the worst people in our country.

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

can we get an Almost Live revival for the ALCS? #Mariners
