Normalize playing Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush clips and showing how modern corporate Democrats are generally way to their right. Even Nixon often enough.

Go Dodgers.

Keep the No Kings momentum going today by supporting your neighbors as government fails in real time. There won't be a SNAP distribution in November. People won't be able to buy groceries. So buy someone groceries. Stock your community fridge/shelf, or start one. And donate cash to a food bank.

Council president Sara Nelson is attending remotely from her office a few feet away from council chambers; budget chair Dan Strauss, noting some technical problem with Zoom, says she's welcome to come out and join everyone else in person.

Public school teachers, transit workers and gender-fluid baristas are the new troops and I support them. 🫡

Cal looks like the kind of person who is a good friend.

They’re calling him Hopeless Harrell.

I'm gonna shamelessly cherry-pick this quote: "Despite understanding themselves as critical thinkers, reactionary centrists are conformists at heart. And they are so unmoored in our current age because, increasingly, there is no social consensus for them to conform to." That's it right there.

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Beautiful day to take West

This is great but I think what the people really want is streams of Sarah Nelson on Roblox. Bob Kettle on COD. Maritza Rivera playing Disco Elysium.

Seattle's mayor in 1909 💪🏻🚽💪🏻 we're going to build 25 bathrooms underground with "marble stalls, brass fixtures, oak chairs, white-tiled walls, and terrazzo floors" with an ornate glass and iron pergola on top. Seattle's mayor in 2025 💩🪠😫 maybe the county can do something about this???

Is this Seattle’s equivalent of Bill Clinton endorsing Cuomo?

Maybe he means we need more leftist babies, and he's right, babies seem to be overwhelmingly conservative, what with crying over nothing and shitting themselves on the daily.

Someone having a lack of care for others feels like cognitive dissonance to the left. Someone having a lack of selfishness feels like cognitive dissonance for the right.

The @seattletimes.com editorial section is absurd. The thing about editorial sections you need to understand is these are the opinions the papers’ owners want to platform. They clearly assume a significant number of people who read the paper are morons.

Cities aren’t scary. You’re just easily scared.

I love how just the threat of progressive leadership makes 90s Republican Dems do stuff they insisted a month ago was impossible.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Better things are possible and you deserve them.

The Seattle Times editorial section, and by extension the Seattle Times, shows nothing but disdain for people who use labor as their primary source of income.

Maybe we should listen to the people who said closing Pike Place Market to cars is a good idea. I bet they have some other good ideas.

my has wife asked me to stop my running Werner Herzog commentary during our Donkey Kong Bananza playthru

Hey wow, look at what happens when you have LEADERSHIP

It’s important to remember that the people funding Cuomo don’t care if he loses. Even the off-chance he wins is worth setting that money on fire for those people.

Having to support these clowns as a uniformed member of the military has to be wildly demoralizing.

Good thread for much-needed context.

Are you still alive? Can you still join your brothers and sisters in the work that needs to be done? Then no, chat. You are not cooked.

An important part of maturing in this century is coming to the understanding that the New York Times is not objective or your friend/ally. We all get there eventually.

"We see hypocrisy, they see hierarchy" is, to me, the most useful way to understand contemporary conservatives. The entire *point* for them is that different rules apply to them and to us.

Living in wild times has a way of bringing formerly misguided people around to better conclusions.

Honestly the longer I look at this photo the funnier it is.

Preserving my mental health by mixing just the right amounts of Humanism, Nihilism and Optimism

People were screaming at Biden to expand SCOTUS and he refused. It’s not like we didn’t see all of this coming from 100 miles away.

What do they get in return for endorsing Harrell? Fewer sweeps? Actual resistance to ICE and other federal abuses? A promise not to point guns at pregnant women?

Seeing what kind of stuff I can haul on the cargo ebike just to flex on rival neighborhood dads

I don’t know how much you’d need to pay me to wear those but it’s more than $400

Oh no, the billionaires and legacy media don’t control this app so regular people opinions are significantly more prominent. I hate not being assaulted by the opinions of the worst people I’ve never met. What ever shall we do?

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

No one is braver than our transit operators.

@cnn.com reporter showing LAPD's spent munitions and claims *protesters* are shooting them at police

Absolutely love this Behind the music clip

Just saw two ICE agents crying and sucking each other off in the parking lot after getting yelled at by a protestor

Really poignant piece of street art from artist TopZ out of Seattle!

Cargo bike people after hauling something someone swore couldn’t be hauled:

It’s interesting when people who don’t live in Seattle have very strong opinions on the Seattle City budget, specifically for how much we spend on the SPD.

"Look, if you give people homes, the next thing you know, they’re going to start to get their lives together and then get jobs and start organizing. Then they’ll expand Medicare to everyone and build a fucking light rail line instead of a border wall."

Reasonable people: why is building transit infrastructure so expensive in the U.S.?! Maritza:
