congrats to jared polis once again

Outside Delaney Hall today.

If you do all this stuff against Liberty University it is actually constitutionally protected free speech in my opinion.

The decision last week from the Sound Transit board to leave Ballard Light Rail extension unfunded is downright outrageous. So make your voices heard! Sound Transit board needs to feel that pressure every single day until Ballard is funded.

saw a truck for a company called Absolute Chimneys and I can’t stop saying that to myself as if I’m an English soccer announcer calling a free kick that sailed over the crossbar

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

Oscar winner and San Francisco resident Marcia Lucas — the former wife of George Lucas who edited the original “Star Wars,” “American Graffiti” and “Taxi Driver” —  has died.

Democrats self-sabotaged in 2024 when they stopped talking about these guys as the weird perverts and assholes that they are. Most of the country sees people like Stephen Miller and think they're gross monsters. They will always respond well when leaders/institutions that affirm their gut vibes.

This is so fucking disgusting.

I’m never voting for another Sound Transit initiative. Fool me once…

"We are here surrounded by colorful shirts and signs and people wanting more transit to more people more quickly," ST CEO Dow Constantine observed. West Seattle, where Constantine lives, will get most of the rail line voters approved, while the extension to Ballard is being deferred.

I am tired of this world-these people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

"Fuck these assholes. Not even a 17-year-old with more journalistic integrity than anyone at the so-called Free Press can shame these ghouls," a CBS senior staffer told me, referencing the student who called out CBS at last night's Emmys. "Just vile. Corporate stooges," another CBS reporter said.

CBS made it official today and fired Sharyn Alfonsi. This is after Alfonsi revealed that the network and Bari Weiss hadn't responded to her for months as her contract expired. It's also after Alfonsi was cheered at last night's Emmys, while Bari was called out by a kid for destroying the network.

meanwhile, at LinkedIn....

Baseball is the sport for existentialists - there is no god, no higher plan, no purpose to anything. We live in a swirling vortex of chaos, nonsense and bullshit and then we die. Have a hot dog and enjoy the game.

From our Report on Academic Freedom at Yale: nearly 70% of faculty say their academic freedom has declined since January 2025. The university must act to protect free expression and debate in the classroom and beyond it.

wake up babe the white house is a six flags

The president is back from his "6 month physical" and has resumed watching television and posting about it. Left, Fox News, 12:41 p.m. Right, Trump, 12:47 p.m.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

This is completely deranged: Iran is required to play games in the US but ISN’T ALLOWED TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY OVERNIGHT. They will instead have to fly back to Mexico. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

congrats to jared polis for getting played like a chump

i was trying to get a link to an episode of the podcast “i don’t speak german” and google wants to be cute with me like i was talking to the robot. no bitch, i’m trying to use a search engine! i’m not fucking talking to you!!!! we aren’t friends!!!!

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Best of luck to Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B

Just a top notch job, guys.

If Trump sued his own government for $2.0T, settled with himself for $1.5T, then refused to participate in the appropriations process and “funded” whichever “government” programs he likes best from that pile of stolen cash, the Times would still be like “Trump tests unorthodox budgeting method.”

The facts: -Bezos paid $0 fed'l income tax in 2007 -He paid $0 in '11 -Btn '14-19, his wealth grew by $99 BILLION and he paid $973 million in taxes. Sounds like a lot but it's 0.98% of his wealth growth (which is his true income). www.propublica.org/article/the-...

again, providing specific support to the right-wing takeover of the supreme court/judicial branch *in 2018* should be disqualifying for the 46th district electorate in 2026, where we are clearly seeing the outcome supported by dreher’s past actions.

Trump is putting no effort into becoming less unpopular but a TON into putting elements of a coup in place. Some of them may remain invisible, but the ones we can see point to his general approach: violent intimidation + corrupt judges + executive branch and congressional coconspirators + bribes.

Decades of GOP gerrymandering and they are electorally beholden to a demented narcissist who will go down as the worst President in the history of the United States

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

Please stop calling it a cult, guys.

Blessed be, there is a video bsky.app/profile/bubb...

shoutout to jared polis

The vice president of the United States is just standing up here saying people should feel sorry for domestic terrorists who were given free and fair trials and were then convicted in a court of law. Absolutely despicable.

Jared Polis should resign today and never return to politics.

NEW: Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) offered amendment to block Trump’s newly-established $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money from "making any payments to convicted child predators" Multiple pardoned Jan 6 rioters have been accused of child abuse Amendment was blocked

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

"we, the jury, find that everyone is dumber for having sat through this" wow

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

He must be removed from office, immediately. He and his accomplices must be brought to harsh justice, both for their theft and for their betrayal of public office and the Constitution. All the billions of dollars they stole must be taken back and returned to the public.

"Our admiration and fondness for Judge Kavanaugh run deep." Apparently, there is a guy running in the 46th District named Will Dreher who clerked for Brett Kavanaugh and endorsed his nomination to the Supreme Court. www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-re...

One of the Democrats running to represent me in #waleg from the 46th District, Will Dreher, not only clerked for Kavanaugh, he signed a letter in July 2018 in support of Kavanaugh's nomination, and maintained that support even after Christine Blasey Ford came forward about Kavanaugh assaulting her.

I realize there's a gulf between "what a president is explicitly permitted to do" and "what a president can get away with" but every single day is a damning indictment that the last administration did not see fit to pursue expansive power against Trump's return nor did it dare SCOTUS to stop it.

Good to see: Nearly 100 House Dems just filed papers calling on the judge to throw out the lawsuit that's the basis for Trump's "settlement" creating his new slush fund, arguing that DOJ is colluding with Trump to illegally circumvent Congress:

Incredible- Trump's $2 billion taxpayer-subsidized slush fund comes with a legal disclaimer that basically says "we are not responsible for any crimes committed with this money"
