A new poll shows us significantly ahead of the incumbent. But among likely voters? A dead heat. Now is the time to make sure everyone in your life gets their ballot in! Join us on Sunday for a march to the ballot box with Congressman Jamaal Bowman. Details in bio! #thisisyourcity

It would be great if @seattledot.bsky.social graffiti removal crews didn’t block a major bike arterial without signage or detours. What training or policy changes do we need to stop this willful disregard of people’s mobility and safety? Or, is graffiti removal a higher priority?

Well now it's a must-see: "Critic John Demetry called out the “sleeper cells” of film reviewers [...] and his ire could have gone further [...] after P. T. Anderson’s openly seditious One Battle After Another invaded movie theaters." archive.ph/d3LkQ#select...

My general belief is that Dems need to spend more time thinking about what they believe and less about what they think some imaginary swing voters want them to believe. Political strategy will stem from an authentic set of beliefs.

also note: none of these are in seattle these are suburbanists who want an outsized say in your city. nope.

Remember the man by his words.

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.

The demographics most likely to wrap themselves in the flag and ostentatious public displays of nationalism are also those most eager to install a monarch/dictator. Cheap faux-patriotism that only celebrates the weapons of governance and deems anything else as wasteful or oppressive.

It is increasingly clear that the majority of federal law enforcement officers do little or no real work, hence having the time and resources to do what they've been doing under Trump. Whole agencies need to be zeroed out, with employees sued to pay back salaries and benefits wrongly obtained.

This is profoundly disappointing. I'm a D5 resident and once more a Juarez constituent. I did not feel represented by Moore's NIMBY approach. In fact, I feel lied to, as Moore told me and others in 2023 that she was pro-housing. Juarez needs to listen to the actual constituency, not to Moore.

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?

I feel it takes a massive amount of carbrain to look at this mall and say "we should spend thirty million dollars on a pedestrian bridge" rather than just pedestrianizing the streets crossing it.

The "unitary executive theory" is a fancy name for a strategy used by authoritarians worldwide, rebranded for the US. It’s a legal blueprint for a power grab, and my new article explains how it turns the law itself into a tool for undermining democracy:

"The nation has faced, many times, a conservative Court aligned with bigotry and big business. But the nation has not previously faced a conservative Court aligned with helping the president become a king" fuck em up @snipy.bsky.social www.publicnotice.co/p/john-rober...

Does it…illuminate the thinking and background of a major mayoral candidate? Does it actually do that?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

one thing that is important to emphasize at that this is just republican governance at work! this is what happens when you give republicans power in washington!

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

dems to rurals: “this is real america, not the dirty cities (ew). football, cornfields, county fairs. here’s a trillion dollars” GOP to rurals: “these degenerate druggy hill people will learn the dignity of work once we defund their schools and hospitals” rural elections: [dem🟦] 7% [rep🟥] 91%

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

21st century America is not a place reeling from millions of dead and wounded in war and the fundamental collapse of all prior value systems. It's a place ruled by a sentient television set

Wow, what a victory for Mamdani last night! Let’s bring that same energy to Seattle. This is YOUR city! Let’s get to work. WilsonForSeattle.com

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Fusion intelligence centers are basically full time chain email forwarding departments where cops freak each other out about shit they mostly make up

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

if you want to increase the political diversity of bluesky, why are you on bluesky yelling at liberals and not on X telling your conservative pals to come here and post conservative stuff? (It's because McArdle is a liar and her actual goal is to destroy Bluesky and get us back on the nazi site)

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

One of the shittiest guys of all time 👍 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

I have the amendment now. Along with requiring a new three-stage process with every permit application around a Community Outreach Plan, it would make a construction management plan *mandatory* with every single permit issued on a light rail project. These changes are huge.

I know @jessdbateman.bsky.social was looking for bill ideas. Here’s one: ban cities from doing this to further slow down and raise costs for building Sound Transit rail projects.

we should be very clear here: Jake Tapper is glad Trump is ruling this country like a king and is intentionally helping him consolidate power in the service of selling books

This blatantly violates CA civil rights protections around gender identity. I hope they take it to court.

5. The implications of this backwards arrangement are significant and dire. It shows officials from the largest and arguably most liberal state complying in advance with federal anti-trans attacks.

“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs & neglected public transport, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Time to ban right turns on red lights in cities across North America. momentummag.com/is-now-is-th...

America is now characterized by dangerous stupidity. We’ve taken people who think their ignorance is more valid than the knowledge of experts and put them in charge of everything important. Healthcare, trade, education, defense, national security, etc. All in the hands of the dangerously stupid.

Give the 8 a bus lane you cowards

Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow our government via a violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.

Pretty bad news for Paramount that this coincides with the end of the Champions League, the only reason one might have Paramount+ in the first place.

"Was it the media's job to get Harris elected?" Of course it was

sometimes you pitch an article, black out, and then wake up 2000 words later with no real recollection how any of it happened www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...

"its the hot new trend of the summer -- Slurs™!" NBC fucking news

I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.
