the one thing these people cannot countenance is being Accurately Described. all of this is happening because the internet provided a means for people to Accurately Describe them to their faces. and they lost their fucking minds

This will not end w/ voting rights. The fundamental premises of these SCOTUS opinions are: 1) Anti-discrimination is actually unconstitutional discrimination; 2) Intentional discrimination isn't actionable if any alternative rationale is presented. It's the beginning of the end of civil rights law.

Note: SCOTUS pointedly did NOT hold this in Trump v. USA.

Wow guys it's exactly like the stuff I keep saying!!! It's almost like I'm completely correct with my takes on Waymo and other robotaxis!!!

Two of my kids ride Metro home from school every day. It works fine, but more service would make their trips so much quicker and easier. Vote yes for the kids!

Just reiterating that Trump suing the IRS in order to extract a deal essentially protecting him and his family from ever having to pay taxes again is the kind of thing that should send many people to prison. People swing from lampposts for that kind of corruption. It cannot be allowed to stand.

If you are mildly curious about this Lego case, read this article. If you think that's too much to read, I hear you, but it is still a lot less than is actually going on. Exhausting.

Wait! Let’s not be hasty. What if he’s dead first?

This is very funny way for the whole country to find out how ruthlessly bored everyone is in Maine.

The low-hanging fruit is Blanche and maybe half a dozen others involved with the "fund." You campaign on putting them in prison, no one will stop you. "Intent to defraud," "two billion of your money to insurrectionists, crooks..." No one dares. That's how you get people used to the idea.

CALIFORNIANS: have you voted yet? if not there’s still time! however, you need to use a ballot drop box or vote in person. DO NOT MAIL YOUR BALLOT. (trump and the goons borked the usps so things aren’t always postmarked at the point of origin, which means it could be marked late and won’t count.)

Happy Pride! Remember that Pride includes sex workers and NATO.

DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the files? BLANCHE: We have complied with the law DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. Nobody buys it. *the time of the gentlelady has expired* DEAN: How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this?

New solar installations in the U.S. dropped by 14% last year. Among the challenges: pushback from critics who claim, without evidence, that solar panels pose a health threat. (Published April)

Ivanka and Jared Kushner are building a massive resort on Sazan Island, a private island in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Albania that used to house a Soviet military base which reportedly contains more than 3,600 nuclear bunkers. Seems like a story deserving of more investigation overall, tbh.

So what’s the magic number

Cancel the Times

he seems so pleased when he does it, like it's a new experience every day.

You sound unhinged if you say it out loud, but the acting Attorney General directed the IRS to stop all ongoing audits of Trump, but we know from leaked tax returns that Trump owes more than $100 million in unpaid taxes, so Trump is basically just giving himself a free hundred plus million dollars.

cool, so don’t fund his agency

The Pentagon has appointed a former Citadel cadet and J6 convict to one of the most sensitive top-secret posts in the DoD. He has none of the relevant experience that would make him eligible for the 40-person team. wapo.st/437arYG

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

Every single Republican must be asked on the record if they have any objections to Trump making a partisan hack with zero experience our Director of National Intelligence. Because if there's a terrorist attack like 9/11 on his watch, they'll all claim to have been against Pulte from the start.

The president took your money illegally and he won’t give it back

If you put this in a script you'd get laughed out of the writers' room

I know nothing matters any more. But this one should matter.

I also think it's going to be very instructive to see who is wringing their hands about the regressiveness of a Seattle sales tax increase to fund transit (including low income fare expansion), while being silent about the regressiveness of a King County sales tax increase to fund rural roads:

I’m sorry, I thought this was America!

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

You can't get Obamacare subsidies either.

If elected, I would not vote for Jeffries for speaker at present. Surprised no reporter even cared to ask any of us candidates this question. It usually becomes a flashpoint in elections where a new majority is likely.

L - The piece I filed R - The pitch I emailed

If one of the major appellants is the NIMBY historical preservation group “Friends of Ravenna-Cowen”… and the lead judge authoring the opinion wants to proudly tell you that “Judge Mann lives in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood in a 120-year old craftsman home”… Is this a conflict of interest?

I have gotten a few more ‘hellos’ this week after walking back from dropping my kid at the bus stop but they were definitely delivered under duress

Honestly, mostly shocked that the US managed to do that much of a turnaround. 🤔 Though Trump is seeking to reverse every mitigation policy. 😑

Greg, I think you can edit that answer down a bit. Can probably fit it into 14 words if I had to guess.

Today has to be a huge day for Katie Wilson. She went from launching the Save Our Metro! campaign in 2011 to prevent service cuts at Metro to helping pass the first Seattle Transportation Benefit District in 2014...to renewing and expanding the Seattle Transit Measure as Mayor in 2026.

"We can refuse to allow Trump’s desecration of our 250th to be our desecration. All we have to do is celebrate the Fourth as we usually do. July 4 has never been about a big presidential spectacle in D.C. It’s always been about family, local, and community events." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The money was always there for the good things.

I almost applied to an anthology until I read the submission page more closely and noticed wording that implied they plan to claim perpetual exclusive ownership of the work, including reuse of the comic, film and television. DO NOT sign away your rights for a few hundred bucks.
