Wow. Prairieland defendants being handed sentences between 40 and 100 years. For background on this case: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

People keep acting like the fascists care about "crime." THEY DO NOT. They care about domination & fear. They will fearmonger re: "crimes" committed by out groups while cheering on the "crimes" committed by "their people" Meanwhile liberals keep bleating on about hypocrisy when hierarchy matters.

Weird considering we’ve done exactly zero to curb these killings

“Jaelynn Scott, the executive director of the trans advocacy organization Lavender Rights Project (@lavrights.org), said the campaign is not just about battling transphobia. 'It’s about money in politics, and the ability of one rich man … to usurp our democracy'”

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

Damn these roosters

I do actually expect everyone to be a police abolitionist lol. It’s what naturally happens when you learn more and more about the world, society, and history. If it’s not happening to you, I genuinely suggest learning more stuff until it does. Not even joking

I don't expect everyone to be a police abolitionist but c'mon you cannot possibly believe that we need more cops in this country

love the angle on this one

It was always wrong for judges to assume the US attorneys, FBI, prosecutors, and cops were telling the truth. There are thousands of documented examples of cops and prosecutors lying, and thousands of people in cages because of it. Let's not forget these lessons (if) when Trump is gone.

I talked to Chris Begley and Amy Edelman about their book, The Emergency Playbook: A Bunker-Free Guide to Disaster Preparation. I believe disaster preparedness can help our movements become larger, stronger & more capable of facing not only climate disasters, but fascist threats as well. Here’s how.

I took one look at that man’s hair and decided to trust everything he had to say about pool and pool related products

It took 250 years but American cops finally racially profiled a white guy

The purpose of this technology is not to accurately identify people but rather to instill in everyone the fear that they are constantly being watched.

In his actual National Sheriff Association talk (which I don’t think anyone listened to but me) Mullins said he wanted to buy existing jails and lease them back to counties/ sheriffs. So I would say it’s going to be a switch in tactics

There‘s no life sentence for drugs. Anyone who gets jailed (or goes to treatment) gets out, and if those ppl dont have housing there isn’t the means/point/hope/security needed to maintain change. This is a tried and true expensive losing strategy, and everyone deserves better.

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing this. While I'm sure opinions on this announcement will vary, I don't think it can be called a new approach. Nor is there anything in this statement that would lead me to expect a different outcome.

Justices Gorsuch, Sotomayor, and Jackson concur in Hunter v. US to get pretty close to saying that plea bargaining is unconstitutional. Worth a read.

"expanding police personnel in the area" why does Seattle keep doing periodic hot-spot policing and thinking this will stop "open-air drug dealing" and thefts stemming from poverty and addiction? More importantly, why does THIS mayor sound so much like her predecessors?

One of the hardest things to accept is “my ideas are correct but unpopular” and it’s particularly tricky for leftists who romanticize “the people”

Why didn’t we send Joy Behar then?

Personally I find these stories uplifting.

just realized it was “bikes will not replace us” not cars. Dude adapted a nazi slogan to protest .. bikes

I suggest a moratorium on rich people

Between this and the “cars will not replace us” protest sign I suggest a self imposed moratorium on rich white people adapting protest slogans for their pet peeves.

bring back shame

So tired of the ultra privileged using words like “authoritarianism” to describe not having their selfish whims catered to. Apparently getting what you want the majority of the time is the path to infantile misery.

Sheinbaum has a 70 percent approval rating in Mexico. Good luck bud!

Interestingly, the intuition I felt and spoke from -- that embodied knowing -- is precisely the kind of thing AI, for all of its performative anthropomorphic gesturing at the simulacrum of personhood, can't do. Tech billionaires want us to believe that our embodied/human ways of knowing are useless!

Every Single Attempt To See What UBI Does Proves UBI Works But instead of using this information to do something, we keep repeating the test hoping for a different outcome.

Those that wreak the most destruction in our society are never held to account, even a little. Instead everyone is worried about the guy with no agency who lives in the park.

I think it's important for people to read the kind of comments a judge has to make to extremely vulnerable people in order to get sanctioned.

"After [Steve] Hulsman’s death, Seattle went 726 days without another person on a bicycle dying in a traffic collision. Now there have been three deaths in 183 days."

the truth is that the US is not good at developing soccer talent because they have a huge problem identifying women as talented cause that was the best team in the world for years

this is a story about a person who fled to seattle because their life was threatened because of who they are, the other a person who fled seattle because he was a selfish and entitled person who felt out of place these are not the same www.npr.org/2026/06/08/n...

One of the things about the Lauren Southern story is that her reactions after being raped by Andrew Tate aren’t unusual. A lot of people think, maybe subconsciously, that they’ll never be raped. A lot of people, maybe subconsciously, blame victims. Unlearning this is key to combatting rape culture.

bellevue feels like disney world for people who dream of living in an office park

Surveillance cameras don’t prevent violence, or why I feel like a broken record notesfromtheemeraldcity.com/surveillance...

hey so the prosecutorial misconduct is not limited to political prosecutions and is in fact a feature of the system and the people whose lives are most impacted are poor and never gonna be in the news (an insane thing to say given that the people making news have had their lives absolutely blown up)

“Palantir tracks everyone. So we built a site that tracks Palantir. They've been watching us. Now we can watch them. Contracts. Lawsuits. Executive pay. Global footprint. Lobbying activity. Media strategies. All in one place.”

Deeply enjoyable read: "The judge even told defense attorneys to think about whom they’d want to call to the stand. The potential candidates could include Boutros himself." chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/0...

The violence in Belfast is a reminder of something I don’t want to take for granted: The fascists here hoped the response to the depredations of ICE would be similar, with people turning in or attacking their neighbors. That it was the very opposite is worth remembering in this season of despair

Seattle Turned on the Surveillance Cameras Before It Wrote the Rules Privacy advocate Phil Mocek says Mayor Wilson has decided to open the door to mass police surveillance without establishing ground rules or studying the potential negative impacts. publicola.com/2026/06/09/s...

Literally all the referees, including the American ones, should boycott. But nobody will because most people excuse racism unless it's happening to them personally.

This is true, but also two key points: * it's nobody's fucking business what's in some kid's pants * they made up this entire bullshit fake panic to demonize innocent people, and the people responsible for the panic are actual child sexual predators Free healthcare for all, all the goddamn time.

Yeah. We’re gonna win.
