Could you imagine going to a McDonalds and there’s no Big Mac because the franchise doesn’t support the secret sauce? No you don’t know or care who the franchise owner is, it’s just a McDonald’s. Fuck Sinclair, you paid for the ABC shows, you have to air the ABC shows.

We’ve reached the, communists are using fluoride to steal our “precious bodily fluids,” stage of quackery

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

They're coming after all of us soon.

Have you heard about the Roadless Rule? It protects forestland across the country, but Trump wants to REPEAL IT! Nothing is final yet, so it's time to speak out. You can submit public comment to protect our public lands—just do it BEFORE 11:59pm EST on FRIDAY, September 19!

We had 5 lunch periods, your 25 minutes to eat could have ranged from 10:30 to 1:15. It was chaos www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

So if I speak ill of Charlie Kirk, they track me down and get me fired, yet Elon can call the left the “party of murder” and tell people to “fight back?” Seems like a double standard

Hey safe streets nerds! Do you work flexible hours? Have a cool retired parent looking to stay active? Become a school crossing guard! Look at all those unfilled positions! Make it easier for your neighborhood kids to walk and bike to school! www.seattleschools.org/news/crossin...

Dr. Ladapo, a vocal denigrator of vaccines, “Your body is a gift from God.” He added that the administration would be “working to end” all vaccine mandates. “Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery” This is mind boggling. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

This man isn’t a criminal this man is a hero.

This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

Now sue Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/b...

What will you do when the gestapo are deployed to your peaceful city to maintain “law and order?”

Tim Apple seems like a tool

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/i... You’re telling me that as a federal contractor I can’t put my pronouns in my email signature yet the Gestapo can wear Punisher patches as they arrest pregnant US citizens! ICE agents are terrorists

Two veterans made their way onto a military base in Washington State and attacked a soldier with a hammer as they tried to steal combat equipment, the authorities said. The theft led investigators to a house full of Nazi paraphernalia and a stockpile of stolen weapons.

7. Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, may God bless you and keep you. But know that the evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.

Yes, exactly in the same way that billionaires did with college kids for utilizing their freedom of speech.

Steve Bannon said he was advising the president to cancel all of Elon Musk’s contracts. “They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status, because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” Bannon said.

Accurate

Mussolini’s Italy expelled university professors who opposed fascism. Franco’s Spain replaced university academics with regime loyalists Nazi Germany removed Jewish professors & left-leaning scholars. Academia is a threat to unified ideology. It’s why fascist regimes always target it.

If I have to pay a tax on everything I buy so that BillyBob can make $2000 iPhones for $7.25/hr in Kentucky, then BillyBob can support getting rid of my student loans.

Here’s hoping they don’t FATMAP this. Using Runna, Strava, and Recover for a marathon block and I hope they integrate these apps well. Content wise it could really become the Peloton of the outdoor running community.

So if the latest White House excuse to keep Abrego Garcia in the gulag is that he allegedly beat his wife, can we do a prisoner swap and put Trump there?

So do we put Stephen Miller in jail for contempt of court until the US enacts strong enough tariffs on El Salvador to get Kilmer Garcia back? I think it’s reasonable

@soundersfc.com weird that the #DALvsSEA game has multiple sections midfield that are completely closed? Attendance stats for last year show 80%+ on avg, why is Dallas so empty?

Now imagine if we did this same reversal and gave people access to food aid, TB and HIV meds again, oh wait, we’re not.

Seattle Fire is currently responding to a driver hitting someone on foot at the 11200 Block of Greenwood Avenue N. The driver (as well as potentially other vehicle occupants) fled on foot, this is a hit-and-run.

So the Trump administration can call a group of Venezuelans rapists without proof and they get deported. George Stefaphanopoulos calls Trump a rapist with proof and ABC pays out $15M?

This is the way

apnews.com/article/shut... it’s clear that any sort of democratic leadership is not going to come from Washington.

What is even more brazen then a sitting president being a car salesman: the markets are down, they’re acknowledging there may be a recession this year, and all but one of the cars on the sheet they’re hawking go for over $100k! “Hey, Americans, spend nearly 2x your annual income and help Elon out!”

Somehow, "Fascists in Cars Drinking Coffee" doesn't have the same ring.

So election night, Elon and Bozos could have donated $210B to fund USAID for the next decade. They’d be in the same spot as they are today and people would actually like them.

@repespaillat.bsky.social shouldn’t you be the one outraged over raids of legal residents in your district? There’s like 4 democrats with a pulse right now and lots of ostriches with their heads in the sand.

Supporting bathroom, sports and healthcare bans for trans people means signing on to a moral panic about problems that DON'T EXIST. When people say Democrats should "moderate" on these issues, they are suggesting that we legislate a group out of public life based on lies.

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

After having to manually update the map tiles I use for my own basemaps, why isn't it the "Gulf of America, a sub-basin of the greater Gulf of Mexico?" Only the territory within the U.S.'s jurisdiction of the continental shelf got renamed.

Reuters confirms. This was no accident.

I mean the mineral deal was outright exploitive. Glad it never will be enacted.

Beyond being a Russian agent, what could it be?

www.theurbanist.org/2025/02/22/o... “Despite a population of 800,000 people, Seattle has only 460,000 cars registered. Counting off-street parking structures and lots, Seattle can park more than 1.6 million vehicles at any given time, aided by its 500,000 on-street parking spaces.”

This is great, some of the best resistance I’ve seen so far. More action from children than from the DNC! (apologies for the wapo article, they had the best coverage) wapo.st/3QbIcl9

With one week until election day, only 11% of Seattle voters have gotten their ballots to King County Elections to weigh in on the social housing funding initiative and the two school levies.

Remember when the richest man in the world tried to end poverty and cure diseases?
