Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

That’s why I’ve proposed “News Notes,” which would give Seattle residents $100 to support local media outlets of their choice. Learn more in my interview on the Mostly Economics podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAyw...

"Cascade PBS isn’t reducing pay for any of the organization’s remaining employees, including its executives, a spokesperson said. Dunlop’s annual pay has topped $500,000."

I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Cascade PBS has chosen to eliminate its newsroom and lay off 17 union workers. As a former Crosscut columnist, I believe strongly in long-form, local journalism. Seattle needs a thriving local news ecosystem. #thisisyourcity

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Can you please add to this story that the man you're quoting throughout it will still be making more than a half million dollars a year? This public data on exec compensation from ProPublica shows he made at least $516k last year alone. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

You should immediately become suspicious of men in the Democratic Party who grew a beard in the past year.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social not sure why you’re endorsing a man who pulled a gun on a pregnant woman www.kuow.org/stories/seat...

At this point, Pete Buttigieg just exists to fuck over progressive candidates.

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

I don’t like Jeffries, but I have some advice for him. I think he should take a working vacation where he lurks online for a few days and just reads how normal people think about him. Just get an anonymous account and read what we all say, away from his government echo chamber and AIPAC friends

It occurred to me that most people know jack-shit about local politics so you could pretty much point to a photo of any guy in a suit and tell them that it was the mayor.

Oh my God.

This isn't is not happening. The cop guild isn't bargaining in good faith. It wants to kill CARE, and the city has no leverage. Mayor Bruce gave them everything they wanted with zero concessions on accountability or non-police response. They can drag this out indefinitely.

I honestly can’t believe city council didn’t delay the votes today to allow Solomon to be there. They disenfranchised our entire district.

The infuriating thing about watching Meta fuck up steak sauce is that it's a solution to a problem nobody has: Billions of dollars, a habitable planet, and every noble cultural pursuit is flushed down the toilet for an idiot who can't be bothered to read a recipe.

I mean, this is better than the time you caused a genocide in Myanmar, I suppose.

hard to really take a lot of this kimmel shit that seriously, especially from people who were lockstep behind bringing militarized cops and paid goons down on college kids for calling a genocide a genocide. the horse has been walking very slowly out the barn for a while now

The decision of ABC to censor and cancel Jimmy Kimmel in anticipation of state retaliation shows the fundamental weakness of capitalist media ownership. Those who control the means of news production care far more about their status and wealth than lofty journalistic principles.

personally I care way more about this than jimmy kimmel but hopefully people who care about kimmel realize how it’s connected to mahmoud

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Gonna say this very very very slowly The main issue with putting your name on a protest list is not whether the government has your name It is you providing information about where you are/will be That is *legally* actionable

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

This isn't just a case of them thinking too small. The fix they're proposing will shield their Republican colleagues from facing any blowback in the midterms over the health care cuts they voted for. They've got one card to play and they're using it to bail out the GOP. Unfuckingbelievable.

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

The Washington Generals of Political Parties.

Just backed Sharp Eye with art by the incomparable @vor-bokor.bsky.social Preview images are all looking absolutely incredible. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha...

It's actually hilarious for Jayapal to endorse and work to elect Zohran in NYC while not working to elect Katie in Seattle.

@repbpramilajayapal.bsky.social Ok but why are you supporting the Cuomo of Seattle, Bruce Harrell? He name checked you in the debate on Friday and plastered your face all over his materials. Remember how he did the same for Prop 1B and it tanked his reputation?

oh hey why did the mayor s own niece quit again?

Clearly failed mayor, Bruce Harrell, doesn’t want @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social to have a chance to talk about her amazing platform because he knows it’s aligned with the city, and he’s not. Check out Wilson’s plan for our city! www.wilsonforseattle.com/platform

The typical level of respect for women we’ve come to expect from Bruce Harrell.

When intelligent public thinkers, such as Ezra Klein, valorize “Kirk as an example of, “practicing politics in exactly the right way,” . . .we are reminded that the blind spot many white liberals have when it comes to overlooking racism can never be overstated.” open.substack.com/pub/wordsbyb...

I guess I need to update my resume.

Seems bad.

The Bansky Museum in the Occupied West Bank is one of the most powerful museums I’ve ever experienced. His work and art are essential.

She brings up a key point to keep in mind, which is that the members who voted in favor of this legislation will NOT be impacted by cameras outside their homes. You have to wonder if their concerns would've changed if this wasn't just something they are imposing on other people.

Did a quick Bob Kettle sketch with my finger waiting to speak yesterday

They haven't begun the study, the cameras have only been up for a couple months. Not data-driven, it's being reckless with people's privacy. San Francisco PD allowed 1.6 million illegal searches of their license plate reader database. Mentions DC real time crime center.

Bank Being Ribbed?

I already said I’m voting for him

Seattle is poised to significantly expand police surveillance after the city council passed two ordinances 7-2 allowing new CCTV cameras throughout the city to aid crime investigations. Advocates have warned of the potential of ICE to covertly access footage to target immigrants.

You idiots: Sarah Nelson doesn’t need to win her election if there’s no democracy by November.

Dreaming of the day we get a D5 representative that isn't a condescending piece of shit 😩
