Where’s the version for people with short attention spans and no patience who hate to listen to something they could read much faster?

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

The US Department of Agriculture has ordered that "states must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025".

One thing I like about Mamdani (speaking as a rando from the West Coast): he makes cities sound like good places to live, and suggests we should make living-in-cities better for everyone and more accessible. (I'm hoping we get informed of a Katie Wilson win here in Seattle on Monday)

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

posted this four months ago but tonight as buckaroos like mamdani sweep elections i will post again. hope this is sign to all establishment goofs that trotting to the center is not the move. protect the buckaroos who are in perilous circumstances and do not give an inch

If the votes move the same way as they did last time, Harrell would end up losing to Wilson 48-51. Different electorate, but that would be the equivalent swing.

Seriously, #Seattle, if you haven't voted yet, get it into the ballot box before 8PM Convenient map at kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...

Your regular reminder that the number of trans kids using puberty blockers to delay puberty is tiny, and the vast majority of prescriptions for the medication in children and adolescents are used to delay precocious puberty in cisgender kids.

Honestly, this is all the Sworn Soldier books in a nutshell.

🚨 BREAKING News: Federal court just GRANTED Democracy Forward’s court order to block Trump admin from shutting down SNAP. Order also issued in state AG case. democracyforward.org/updates/snap...

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

“Delete all heuristics” is such sci-fi treknobabble I’m almost in favor of it. They should reroute power through the primary sensor array while their in there, maybe cycle the variable shield harmonics?

children did not vote for their snap benefits to be stopped? like I get being angry at voters who cast ballots for trump, but cheering on the ending of food assistance is really ghoulish. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/the-limits...

Gonna leave this here for those that have only heard Tubthumping. youtube.com/watch?v=OLkP...

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Federal officers pepper ball protestors at Portland ICE facility just now.

This is correct. It’s VCs who spend their time doing drugs and inventing weird religions, executives who have boners about firing workers, and non-technical hucksters who are pushing this stuff. The vast majority of people doing actual technical work on the ground feel the way this piece describes

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Always tip your waiter 20%, even if the service was meh and they weren’t particularly charming. Unless they were downright horrible, don’t go below that. If they were great, consider more than 20%.

Newly obtained video shows Seattle Police Officer Brian Muoio crashing into someone at the Cal Anderson demo on May 24, 2025.

How I started to just cry and cry when the message from the frog resistance started...

I'm seeing a lot of people talk (correctly) about how terrible Columbus was. But I haven't seen anybody on my timeline talk about Indigenous Peoples' Day. Americans: I challenge you to learn something new about these living communities, today.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Portland right now.

Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

Portland sure put a bird on it!!! 👏🦄💪🦖🐥

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Bruce Harrell makes his closing statement for why he should keep his job after his poor performance as Seattle Mayor and this line says it all. "This is not the time to hope."

Young’s opinion, which rules that the Trump admin illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation, is absolutely scathing. “In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police…ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it.”

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

It's like their comm teams told Jeffries and Schumer "Trump is sending the army to Portland, people are scared and pissed, you have to say something." And they went "Troops in Portland is bad. But you know what else's bad? Egg prices."

Read the thread. She saw it ALL coming.

Wild shit is happening in local journalism right now.

America's Lysenkoist era

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

This underlying science results in two easy practical things you can do to make your life easier when dealing with COVID. The first is:

This little shit has had quite the journey. Some pieces can be easy, but some drag you kicking and screaming the entire way. I got there. And I'm happy with the end result, but boy am I glad to be done.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

None of the 11 people killed in a US military strike on a boat in the Caribbean last week were members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Venezuela’s interior minister has said, while US media reported the attack came after the vessel had turned around and was heading back to shore.

i think it’s wild how many people are fine with leaving their children a totally uninhabitable world that’s inevitably pitched in constant bloody conflict over who gets the last resources so they can have copilot email tone rewriting and slop memes of trump as a taco with a drooping fold.

All six seasons of #TheExpanse are back on Amazon Prime, if you want to check it out sometime...

We know that data from the real time crime center in DC is now accessible to the federal gov't. It appears they are using it to help them ramp up immigration enforcement. I don't see how these "guardrails" address this kind of scenario.
