Breaking from us: As the Trump administration searches for more space to detain immigrants, it is approaching Washington tribes to see if they will participate. Nisqually Indian Tribe is saying no. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The fun the thing about Eugene’s small town vibes is that you regularly see someone you know on the national football broadcasts. Usually it’s my landscaper, but tonight it’s the girl who works at my favorite shoe store.

i can’t talk about sports gambling anymore without sounding like a crank but i do believe legalized sports gambling is like 15-20% responsible for our current dystopia

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests

ICE vs the clergy

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

They did this today www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/t...

what animal-chopping-up lunatic do I have to fuck around here to get a glowup in the NYT?

Seattle Scene Report: Happy Trans Awareness Week! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

This is your regular reminder that most men who sexually abuse children do not meet the clinical definition of a pedophile. They simply want to abuse their power and no one is more vulnerable to abuse than a child.

"The beauty-industrial complex is working hard to brainwash women into viewing expensive and extreme beautification procedures as a mere extension of routine female grooming. Fillers, Botox, and and micro-needling are to be treated no differently than a haircut or manicure."

Voter turnout in the Seattle election has reached 55.95%. That's the highest mayoral election voter turnout this century for the city, besting even the 2009 election when there was 54.99% voter turnout.

If my 7-year-old engaged in this sort of bigotry and name calling I would expect to find myself in a parent-teacher conference by tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, the White House Press Secretary is out here on national television, living her best life

Here in Broadview, outside Chicago, a large group of faith leaders & protesters have gathered this morning outside of ICE’s detention center. This looks like one of the largest protests on Beach St. in weeks, where the city of Broadview is still enforcing a small “free speech” zone. It’s packed.

They should invent a government that isn’t senile pedophile adolf hitler

A second socialist mayor has been elected

Old enough to remember when raping children was a dealbreaker in politics.

Can confirm. I am okay and more motivated than ever to speak up. Nothing scares this administration more. Their power lies in our silence.

Texas A&M Tightens Rules on Talking About Race and Gender in Classes www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u... “The policy defines race ideology as, among other things, ‘a concept that attempts to shame a particular race or ethnicity.’” These GOP-led efforts will ruin their states’ public universities. Sad!

Let me fix that for you: Texas A&M is limiting how instructors may discuss gender identity and race in classrooms in an assault on academic freedom unseen in America since the Red Scare.

for the record, this is how the @nytimes.com covered Bloomberg, a man elected to the same office as Katie Wilson with the exact same amount of experience in public office as Katie Wilson, but whom the paper did not view with obvious contempt www.nytimes.com/2001/11/07/n...

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

Grandma: Do you still hate that man? Me: You’re gonna have to be a lot more specific than that.

We're getting down to "Well, he doesn't wear the uniform or have a weird little mustache" as one of the last remaining explanations of how JD Vance is not an actual Nazi.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

NEW: A 12-foot-tall, faux bronze statue of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein skipping and holding hands has magically reappeared in downtown D.C. this morning. A day after Dems released bombshell emails suggesting Trump knew about Epstein's child sex trafficking ring. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

Hi! I wrote a thing about swimming and trans athletes and [*checks notes*] Santana for @defector.com, would mean a lot if you give it a read

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

I think covering up involvement in child sex trafficking is bad and elected officials should not do that. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel

Buckle up. The crowd that brought you "Fifteen is too young to transition" and "Fifteen is too young to terminate a rape baby" is about to bring you "Well, now, actually, fifteen year olds, historically, were married with children by now, so you know, it's not really pedophilia..." (Some were 13.)

deepak chopra sending the most Michael Scott-ass email possible

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

My menstrual cramps beg to differ

excited to hear jd vance show how sincere his Catholicism is by insulting and correcting the Church tomorrow

"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Here it is, from @clairewillett.bsky.social

Epistemic violence against sexual abuse accusers—smearing them as deluded, crazy, or incompetent—is something rapists know works, and they conspire to do it.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

We knew that Trump was never a populist. In fact, he's the anti-populist: leaning into a corrupt kleptocracy where there are no consequences for the rich and powerful. These latest Epstein emails are yet another piece of evidence that that is his world.

BREAKING: (Gift) New Epstein emails reveal that Epstein claimed he had kompromat on President Trump. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
