Good news, it's embarrassing and stupid instead of authoritqrian and ominous. newrepublic.com/post/201024/...

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

The only kind-of funny part of this is imaging what happens if a progressive somehow becomes president. All of the reasons why past Dem presidents got held back by congress have been nullified by this court.

Cal Raleigh is just three homers away from the MLB single season record with three games left.

It's almost like this was never about crime.

While you’re cancelling your Disney and Hulu subscriptions, don’t forget to cancel Disney vacations. Their theme parks and cruise ships make a ton of money. Boycott Disney and you can boycott Florida at the same time!

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Because they suck. Hope everyone finds my post helpful.

The ppl who keep calling for Civil War & saying we need more guns & pushing the racist Great Replacement Theory & who mocked the murder of George Floyd & the attack on Paul Pelosi & who are totally ok w/beating Capitol cops for a lie... ...want you to tone down your rhetoric.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

I'm old enough to remember when a sitting president vowing revenge against half the country would have gotten more than a feckless shrug from the American media. Paritally because a sitting president would never do it. Let's get back to that.

This explains it better than I can

So beyond exciting to be out watching this historic moment with a crowd of rail fans!

Congrats to my colleagues at Sound Transit for this first in the world accomplishment! Really looking forward to opening this up to passengers!

BREAKING: Sound Transit expects to conduct its first LIVE WIRE test on the I-90 bridge TONIGHT, at around 11pm. "A single light rail vehicle will travel at incremental speeds between 10 and 55 mph to test power systems between Mercer Island and Judkins Park stations, including the I-90 bridge."

the year is 2050. you ask AI how to wear a suit. the computer spits out info framed as objective facts, even though these are totally made up rules invented by an asian guy in 2025 while he was sitting on a toilet

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

What an incredible game for Vargas. Also this. Sounders!

It's missing the "elect leaders who undo climate progress to own the libs" stage.

Not sure if anyone around Seattle has mentioned this, but... OMFG go Sounders!!!

The important thing to point out here is that it was very clear that Durkan *never* intended to move forward with this from the start. This was money wasted by the city on political cover for Durkan.

The month before a shooter opened fire on children gathered in a Minnesota church this week, the Trump administration cut funding in the state for efforts to identify potential mass shooters and head off their violence. https://cnn.it/4lS986O

Sadly, Reich is a NIMBY. It's not surprising that he's jump on the latest "anything but the mirror" train to the housing crisis explanation that doesn't involve building more housing.

They gaslit you all throughout the election.

In terms of STAKES, the practical impact on the country and its residents, the single biggest 2024 campaign story by a huge margin was Project 2025 and the media dropped it entirely on the sole basis of the word of the most voluminous and shameless liar in human history.

No one is making them pretend to not know what's going on.

I'll say something true that people also won't like: This would save more lives in the US than gun reform.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Tonight, we got results that were even better than we hoped, and it’s likely to only get better. Seattle, you showed up! It’s clear that voters want change. This is your city. Join the campaign, and let’s get this done!

The mood is jubilant at Katie Wilson's primary election night party. Wilson is leading Harrell 46.2% to 44.8% in early results.

It’s Election Day Seattle! Remember to drop off your ballots!

The extremely goofy dog that lives in my house managed to pick up an earring while out rustling through the bushes and borking.

If you ever wondered what it would be like to watch a mostly-functional country just shoot itself in the dick repeatedly, well I have good news for you.

That reminds me of the time I washed my cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice because I heard it preserved the finish. And guess what? Saltwater and lemon juice totally preserved my cybertruck's finish. I was amazed how well saltwater and lemon juice preserved my cybertuck's finish.

are you tired of being brainwashed by the mainstream media?

They have a very good way to solve this problem: Stop accurately reporting on economic indicators. Foolproof.

Seen elsewhere on the internet: TACO.pdf 😂 Feels like he's really not living either down.

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

Who, and I mean this, gives a single fuck about the Clintons? What's happening with the people currently in power?

CNN: The Wall Street journal is reporting that in May, AG Pam Bondi and her deputy informed the president at a meeting in the white house that his name was in the Epstein files.

Agree with Mr. Bouie on so many things but hard disagree here. At the center of the reasons I despise this film is how self serving to the alternate reality presented is. But also: It's just not a good movie putting aside all that baggage.

A man coughing up blood. Men zip-tied face down on a wet floor. CCTV turned off. Men forced to eat off of a chair like animals while handcuffed. Solitary confinement if you complain. This is just three paragraphs from a new report.

Julio González Jr., released last week from the Terrorism Confinement Center, said he was beaten, robbed of thousands of dollars and denied a lawyer. “I practically felt like an animal,” González told The Post.

How much of the reaction to AOC is stupidity and how much is a targeted attack? It's hard to say, but if you're wondering why more good people don't go into this line of work...

This is true: Also, blue states need to get back into gerrymandering. Looking at you, WA and CA. This "one hand behind our backs" shit is so old.

Big news: @theurbanist.org has endorsed our campaign for King County Executive! This endorsement is deeply meaningful to me, because it comes from people who care as much as I do about how we build a more affordable, sustainable, and inclusive future.

My eight-year-old fell asleep on the subway today despite the incessant murders and assaults that Sean Duffy experiences.

Someone dies in a car crash almost every day in New York City. More than ten times that many people are seriously injured... every day. News flash: All this hand wringing about transit safety isn't about safety. transalt.org/press-releas...

The WA coast was really being extra this past weekend.
