Bruce Harrell is so out of touch with this and has no actual plan to make life better for ordinary people in Seattle. www.bet.com/article/n9fz...

Ok I have been informed that this woman did not suddenly grow a conscience. She just hates Speaker Mike Johnson perhaps more than any of us hate Trump and delights in ratf—ng him. Bless.

"The Labor Department warned in an obscure document filed with the Federal Register last week that 'the near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens' is threatening 'the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers.'”

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

may as well be playing Seattle the way it’s reign-ing sorry, the water’s getting to my head

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.   Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Current mood; repeating "fait c'est mieux que parfait" in a loop (done is better than perfect but it rhymes in French)

It's been really, really nice seeing the Catholic social justice tradition in the US feel like it's empowered to spread its wings again without risking censure after a long time of being suppressed by US Catholic leadership, and it's exactly what I was hoping for from Pope Bob.

Denying entrance to a Eucharistic Procession is to Catholicism kinda like what desecrating the flag is to the American civic religion, except with even more weight of history and tradition behind it!

This is a really, really good act of protest that uses a protest language that has a chance of reaching people who would otherwise dismiss the issue. You can tell by how many former Catholics are seeing it here and having like entire full-body shudders despite having left the church decades ago.

Cotton Mather wholly believed in the immanent reality of Satan working through Salem's witches to achieve the destruction of the Puritan experiment in New England. He believed in the evidence of dreams. His convictions led to the deaths of innocents. And he was still more coherent than this bozo.

Shimanekko, the mascot of Shimane Prefecture, made an appearance on stage yesterday at the raucous Shimane Jett Fest, alongside various punk acts.

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment. This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

This is what they meant by making America great again, right?

The procession from the Church of Saint Eulalia, a girl of 13 who was martyred for marching up to a Roman prefect in Barcelona and remonstrating against persecution? That Saint Eulalia? Seems... appropriate.

Californians, you can register to vote up to October 20th to vote in this election. They restored voting rights to those convicted of a felony (if they aren't still in serving time), so you can check at registertovote.ca.gov and register again if you want.

Without getting into Burien's long history of policies that harm homeless residents, it's telling that every single city thinks they're doing more than their share and that the homeless people in their city are from "somewhere else." Everyone is doing too much and homeless people are from nowhere

As the trans leader of a congregation that once had to sue the federal government to be considered a religion at all (and which houses Jewish and Muslim groups)...I have to pick our safety over doing the loudest thing. Everyone has a lane, and all the work is needed.

every big AI pitch is like “what if we took away your means of survival and devalued all your skills to make stonks go up temporarily? You’d like that wouldn’t you?”

Thread

I'll never forget the pitch of a (thankfully failed) startup I ran across years ago, that was basically "Don't you wish you could monetize your friendships? Now you can! Our new app and shitcoin makes it easy to keep track of the favors you do for one another, to cash in later!"

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

The message must be "No bailouts for billionaires." AI is not too big to fail. And should it fail, the richest men in the world should be held accountable and take responsibility for their failures.

I think the Democrats need to start making the likely AI crash an issue right now. It has everything they need, and unlike the "boys in girls' sports" issue, it is actually rooted in reality.

Same. I want the most boring people to run for office. Boring people are the competent people.

Anyways I’m gonna go canvass for Prop 50, make sure to vote YES if you live in California

If his medical emergency was related to drugs, that is still a medical emergency.

Picked this up at a childrens book fair, should I mail it to the HHS secretary

From this cartoon: bsky.app/profile/barr...

I thought this image told a clear story, but people in the Facebook comments theorized that the cyclist who got hit by the truck must have run a stop sign and should have been in a bike lane anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️

Two people got super snippy with me at the Junction Uptown Espresso when I told them they were blocking the sidewalk

"Without a Face" (1996) is literally about the hardships undocumented immigrants go through, so it's not surprising Morello is against sending federal troops to protect ICE and deport immigrants. The first lyric: "Got no card so I got no soul."

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...?

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

He’s sounding as unhinged as his boss lately.

shares on this would be a help! slow sales day so far, though i will be fine

It’s got to be infuriating for Americans that in addition to the fascist takeover, these fascists are just really, really dumb.

Just in case you need it. We have a new kitten.

Interesting plan to have an authoritarian regime: don’t pay the military and DHS employees meant to help consolidate the president’s power. 🤷‍♂️

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

There is no leader of Antifa. There is no girlfriend of the leader of Antifa. They are creating imaginary people so they can justify going after real people.

When interviewing Tom Homan, no other questions should be asked beyond this one; why can't you categorically state that you did not accept a bribe, and that you reported the attempt of bribery to the FBI? Free article, worth a read! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...

Turns out protest alone was never what changed things, it was protest *plus media coverage of protests*, which prompted officials to respond to protests, which increased public awareness of protests, etc. If the protest happens & corporate media simply ignores it ... it's inert.

The Army isn't being paid because the President doesn't want anyone to know about his connections with Jeffrey Epstein and since Trump also dismantled the whole "protect people from fraud" part of the government it seems like this is all entirely his fault and people should write on it and say so

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

A new TJ's in Seattle frequently has lots of parking open...because most people WALK there.

My old swimming hole. Lake Washington, Houghton Beach with Seattle way off in the distance. #Glow #BlueSkyArtShow
