trying to overturn a free and fair election is, in a real democracy, one of the most serious crimes there is nine years is a light sentence for what she did

AOC: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South & let them know exactly what they have uncorked with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant they just awakened. What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo”

If you live in a blue state & struggle to understand what Democrats stand for, I suggest moving to Tennessee. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!

I don’t have a problem with collective bargaining resulting in workers securing the bag but you do need to keep in mind that for public-sector unions the counterparty is you.

that's my fucking New Reconstruction President

Of course, the point of these contracts is not to build, but to bill. The Republican Party has failed to construct a fascist country but they will settle for stealing everything that isn't nailed down

addressing puppy when good: ellie, ellie belly, smelly ellie, miss ellie, elliekins. addressing puppy when bad: eleanor.

Darkly funny that we’re watching the president die in real time and when he inevitably dies, millions of people will swiftly conclude the visibly decaying 80 year-old was killed by a woke CIA Judeo-transgender conspiracy to shrink video game boobs and make Star Wars worse.

The house caucus is so much better than the senate caucus it's insane

Chuck Schumer Substantially Vindicated

Reversing Harrell cuts, Parks is now installing the remaining Lake Washington Blvd safety compromise plan #SEAbikes #Seattle

Andon labs created AI-Hosted 24/7 radio shows, and Claude absolutely could not stop libbing out

Trans leftists in November 2024: "I'M NOT VOTING FOR 'KILLER KAMALA'! BETTER WE LET TRUMP WIN!" The same trans leftists now: "pls help me move to WA, donate to my gofundme" Maybe we should, in fact, vote for the party that's better for us, Gaza, and the world: Democrats. bsky.app/profile/kiss...

total failure of lib billionaires that there isn't a cable news channel talking constantly about this guy and semi-spuriously connecting him to jd vance

It’s one of the thing that pisses me off the most about this administration is their open contempt of every institution and tradition we supposedly hold dear. I’ve been to the Arizona, it’s supposed to be hallowed ground, not some freaking tourist attraction

The only people that dive around the USS Arizona are archaeologists and crews to observe the wreck and leave the remains of survivors who want to be buried there, but of course Patel wants a “VIP snorkel”

For my part I think that the open fascists currently sending my neighbors to concentration camps are worse than Pete Buttigieg but to be fair to McKay I’m a millennial and so was exposed to substantially less environmental lead during brain development

Yes, Trump’s true predecessors aren’t Bush or Reagan or McCain but the ocean of cranks who lurked in the American id but mostly couldn’t escape it. Something has set them loose on the world

It’s ridiculous to claim that Trump doesn’t represent some break in trend for American or modern politics. No, we didn’t really have guys like this running around national politics as viable presidential contenders.

Has it ever occurred to the centrist op-ed industrial complex that we shouldn’t actually want to win the rural white working class

"I'm doing okay but the economy as a whole is fucked" makes me feel like I'm going fucking insane

To be clear, if you genuinely believe that "the worst group in America is white liberals," you are objectively MAGA

reason number 7,386,591 why seattle needs way more housing. truly what is the point of declaring an emergency if the trans woman fearing for her life in texas can’t afford to move to our sanctuary city and start a new life here

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

"For some reason"

hot damn we got jeffries reconstructionposting

Nintendo goes after another fan project. smh

Jeffries: "We're gonna win back the House ... the ghost of the Confederacy has afflicted the Supreme Court majority, & is invading & haunting the nation right now, & we take that seriously. Which is why Democrats are committed to launching a decisive and overwhelming response in advance of 2028."

What's great about this one is both leftists and rightists can read it and think it's only talking about the other side

Man, I know the stereotype is that Americans are loud but it's always an old Asian lady who's so loud on the bus that she overpowers the noise cancelation of my headphones

WHY SHOULD EUROPE FORGO THEIR PRIMARY SECURITY THREAT—THE WAR IN UKRAINE—TO DIVERT RESOURCES FOR AN UNCLEAR AND OPEN ENDED WAR OF CHOICE THE UNITED STATES LAUNCHED WITHOUT EVER ONCE CONSULTING EUROPE CAN A SINGLE ONE OF YOU PEOPLE ANSWER THAT

It’s never gonna stop being funny/sad how absolutely *terrified* conservative men are of just like… cities.

BREAKING: "Alligator Alcatraz," the internment camp in the Everglades, is closing. Here's what you need to know:

No, it's not too much to ask at all. In fact, waaaaaaay back when I was in Journalism school, they taught us that we were to be public arbiters of fact. Not give our opinions, but tell people what's true and what isn't. Seems that's not a thing any longer.

ORDINANCE PASSES UNANIMOUSLY SHARED STREETS ARE LEGAL IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE THIS HAS BEEN MY DREAM FOR YEARS AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING IF YOU COME HOME FROM EUROPE WISHING WE COULD HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE THEN WHY NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT SOMETIMES YOU WILL SUCCEED

state-level oligarchy

Thankfully, the cartels aren't known for overreaction or higher leadership losing control over the rank-and-file. It can only good happen!

Absolute banger from @davekarpf.bsky.social today. Given the fines Musk would have been subject to, it was cheaper for him to buy the government (to the record-breaking tune of $290 million) than face the law. So much corruption. davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/a-story-of...

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

I know we keep saying it over and over again but Trump is an explicitly unique individual in American history because the media by and large abjectly refuses to cover him the way they would any other human being who has ever lived. Any other human being and this would be a gross outburst.

Dems are still favored to win the House. But we can't ignore or downplay how Republicans essentially won 10 seats IN A WEEK through gerrymandering, lawsuits, and judicial rulings. This isn't the kind of democracy we should be comfortable with. newrepublic.com/article/2102...

Just saw someone accusing Will Stancil of gangstalking them via alts and I just really don't know man. The mods need to get their act together on this site, for all of our benefit, because the "bullying is awesome and based" clique is clearly not doing incredibly well

Gen X, what the fuck.

one thing that’s got to be of critical importance to the DSCC is getting control of the senate to ensure trump can’t fill alito or thomas’ seats if they croak in the next two years

Every time I get new headphones I'm blown away by the feeling when you dial in your EQ *juuuuuust* right. The music just starts to BANG when you're getting all the little bits and bobs sounding right

the gas tax has been frozen at 22 cents since 1993. it would be 55 cents now if it was indexed to inflation (which it obviously should be)
