Donald Trump shelled J.D. Vance's security detail.

Just a small sample of the cargo bikes and other kid-carrying bikes at Brooklyn Bridge Park yesterday. Things are changing fast. Cities need to catch up.

"No Kings!" Maciejowski Bible - Morgan Library & Museum MS M.638, fol. 11v

No Kings, Boston. 😮

Stopped in to see the Captain on my way to the No Kings Rally. I'm sure we have her support. #nokings

Wtf is a TEST of a ceasefire?!?!??!?

📽️ WATCH: This video on the rise of Russ Vought, Trump's “shadow president,” is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

it is far better to be in a country with a mass visible protest movement than one without it

I personally think it is kinda weird to write a cute lil post™️ dunking on chat gpt for talking to your dog all night because that only happened as a result of YOU HAVING A CHAT GPT ACCOUNT FOR SOME REASON. Congrats you wasting finite resources and also admitting to using the slop machine, I guess.

Robby did a day of activism in PDX, detained for an hour, claims trespass charge, is already back on a plane & has raised $75k of an absurd $110k ask. Stop donating. This dude better be handing over a sizeable chunk of this to people who need it, like our local legal defense fund. Or its a grift.

6 outs away from a shocking series deficit, Cal Raleigh stepped up to the plate 12 minutes later, T-Mobile Park was as loud as it’s ever been new for Yahoo Sports, on the two swings Seattle will never forget and Eugenio Suárez finally having his moment: sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/...

the money you used to give to the New York Times and Washington Post should be going to ProPublica

there were people saying this is where everything was headed way back in 2020 and they were scoffed at and ignored and sidelined by the dem party. and if you ask me, maybe the people who did the scoffing should be less influential in the party going forward. just imo

"The only way to set the course to a true constitutional recovery is for the opposition to achieve a trifecta and pass major legislation to reform the prime sources of unconstitutional rule, which starts with the Supreme Court."

NEW: Amazon just fired a Palestinian worker. I'll give you one guess as to why... www.theburnerseattle.com/post/amazon-...

OUTRAGEOUS: City Council approved the Mayor's sales tax increase knowing full well we already have the highest sales tax in the country and they have a LIST of progressive options to choose from instead www.theburnerseattle.com/post/city-co...

It's a good time to grab a ticket to Burl Dirkman's new talk show at @townhallseattle.bsky.social THIS FRIDAY at 7:30 pm! With mayoral frontrunner @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social and philosopher-scribe @mudede.bsky.social! Tickets: townhallseattle.org/event/power-...

In this News Brief, "The Billionaire-Backed Groups Working to Push Dems Right in 2026 & 2028," we detail the major factions seeking to rewrite the history of the 2024 election as "woke" Gone Too Far, downplay Gaza, and prevent economic populism at all costs.

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

dawg we are gonna lose a war because ChatGPT has this guy mobilizing divisions that don't exist and tasking real troops with holding mountain passes and ports an LLM hallucinated

I believe Zohran should condemn Hasan because I believe all streamers should be condemned

Today on Volts: New York state has some of the most ambitious climate/energy targets in the US. Unfortunately, headwinds (not least the recent loss of federal support) mean it is not on track to meet them, at least near-term. I talk with the head of @nyserda.bsky.social about getting back on course.

The clean energy revolution is happening — very, very incrementally. Hear from @mliebreich.bsky.social and @volts.wtf on how renewables are slowly but surely eating away at fossil fuel power.

many conversations I have had with complete normie libs, the kind who have a tote bag from donating to NPR and shop at Whole Foods, involve the kind of rhetoric that under no circumstances should be put on the internet people are very mad

absolutely the fuck not. this needs to be a red line.

He sang Rod Stewart, danced — and then ICE grabbed him. @timmiller.bsky.social talks with @roadsteamer.bsky.social about his detention in Portland

Sorry I’m gonna go back on my bullshit here: National Consersvatism’s entire ethos boils down to “this problem, that we created, exacerbated, and oppose any effort to combat, is very bad. We will solve it by making it worse”

"immigration has decreased social trust because we spend our days lying about immigrants and trying to decrease social trust"

“I can do those things on my own” Lmfao We gonna make him prez in 2032 and they can’t stop us

I had a great time chatting with David Roberts on his podcast Volts! Tune in below 👇 #thisisyourcity

The federal government is just openly white supremacist, now. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

(Gentle reminder: We don’t actually need to do far-right justices’ work for them. If they want to destroy the VRA, trust me, they’ll do it. You don’t need to cut down the brush in front of them to help them on their way.)

love a caption that's like "the actual country you live in against something that is an unequivocal good in the world"

Today on Volts: In a big blue city, a progressive up-and-comer is challenging an establishment Democrat to be mayor, having already scored a surprise win in the primary. Naturally I'm talking about Seattle's Katie Wilson! We talk housing, transit, public order, the threat of Trump, & much more.

This week’s episode is Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, where the Court butchered a statute in order to let Trump keep blocking foreign aid.

i cannot get over how quickly this is happening. the decline of the other two branches/ascent of the lawless executive is outpacing actual democratic decline, which is usually what precipitates executive consolidation. but in our case, the other two branches are collaborators

"Sapiens" is so normal for the first 70,000 years of human history but then goes absolutely buckwild as soon as it gets to colonialism

Got an update, of sorts, on my story about Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's idea to build a 10-foot interactive AI wall where "you could talk to Martin Luther King." OpenAI and the King Center announced today that Sora will no longer allow depictions of MLK out of respect for the King family.

There’s a specter haunting Silicon Valley

"Students who...oppose Israel’s war in Gaza...rarely have to worry that their campus speakers will be disrupted by protesters or generate security concerns"

someone just asked "what the hell is phpBB?" in a discord and even at the ripe age of 25 it made ME feel old 💀

“Win every election” is not a viable strategy for preventing authoritarianism

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue. POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous
