They've used Chicago as a testing/training ground for this roving army of BP dipshits after doing the same in LA. Feels pretty crucial that everyone not in Chicago continue paying attention to Chicago to know exactly what to expect when they move elsewhere.

Humanities and social sciences are being systematically gutted while STEM disciplines rediscover their half a century-old research insights and pass them off as their own

Mariners forever, Platner should drop out, and I've emotionally moved on to the new Katamari Damacy release

How to not get a Nazi tattoo - a short guide 1. Have normal friends 2. Read any book about WWII (Not Mein Kampf) 3. Get flash tattoos exclusively from non-binary queers with alt haircuts. If followed to the letter, you should remain Nazi tattoo free, no matter how drunk you get in Eastern Europe

Ran some odds on this - En Bann Panel would be the chief justice + a random selection of 10 of the remaining 28 active justices. Of that 28, 10 are Trump appointees and 3 others are Bush appointees Odds of a Trump-appointed majority on that panel are ~4.5%. GOP appointee majority odds are 25%

Breaking: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, the legendary transgender activist and veteran of the Stonewall uprising who dedicated her life to the liberation of trans people, especially Black trans women, has died at 78.

Oh.... Oh no.... No, Bruce... Bruce, what are you doing?...

Dear god please let the ceasefire endure. No more killing zones. Let people bury their lives ones. Fuck I hate that we are all on pins and needles hoping that the IDF does the bare minimum to ensure people get food

one of my most durable political lessons out of Occupy is: not only is it a bad look to instruct people at protests you are not part what to do based on posts online, it’s bad tactics to order around people with local experience and who are doing countless things you won’t know about from posts

So much shitty protest advice on r/Portland it hurts the soul

A united front against fascism is important but folks who sell out immigrants + houseless people and only talk about Trump negatively when they see troops as a threat to the tourism economy are not allies in this fight. They will knife you in the back if they see dollars to be made.

When I mention being in law school, I often get "Wow, must be an interesting time to be learning the law" What "interesting" means in reality: - Studying something that gets overturned on the shadow docket months later - Admin cutting diversity programs - Law profs losing faith in their vocation

Democrats who voted for the TikTok forced sale officially setting a new bar for the biggest fucking own goal in politics this decade. Just brainless rubes who sold away their own social media reach to right wing billionaires, all to own left-wing college kids. www.congress.gov/votes/house/...

This is what happens.

Nothing Will Stop Trump From Weaponizing Charlie Kirk’s Killing to Attack the Left @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/09/11/c...

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

It’s also causing a business class meltdown and reactionary uproar. The Portland Business Alliance told Willamette Week their #1 goal is stopping the socialists. Not housing people or lowering costs for struggling families. There’s an intense effort underway to manufacture outrage through media.

Man, it'd be so cool though

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

“This decision had two results: OpenAl's valuation catapulted from $86 billion to $300 billion, and Adam Raine died by suicide.”

The young people who would have been most likely to lead the domestic anti-fascist fight in 2025 were repeatedly arrested, beat, jailed, mocked by elites and non-elites over the past 5 years. This was bipartisan. I find it interesting whenever some people ask 'where the young people are' now.

A really good (and scary) point from @erininthemorning.com... for trans rights, a President Gavin Newsom could be *more* harmful than a Republican would be. www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...

If there's one thing that the #ZcavengerHunt and all the XYZ lookalike and performative male competitions has proven, it's that young people can be brought out together if you promise them a good fucking time. Every lefty should take note

the democrats don't talk like that in reality, this framing exists to make people think they do & keep voters divided over language instead of focused on something that costs the rich money

I try to be understanding, but jesus christ, the whole story is about how infiltration (which I’ve also covered for years) is not necessary when agencies are openly recruiting them, and they’ve volunteering, and their missions are now the same

I need people to understand: 1. Every US state already evicts more people annually than all of the EU combined 2. In most states, having a disability, health emergency, or a financial hardship is not a defense to an eviction suit 3. In most states, there is no right to counsel in eviction cases

Newsom threw trans people under the bus and is so hyped about clearing homeless encampments that he's taken up the work with his own hands. You won't beat fascism with Diet Fascism.

It’s really bizarre to see so much anti-youth energy on here. Older folks: instead of complaining, make friends with young people, talk to them and organize with them. Also, the remarkable news is that Seattle boomers swung to the left in this cycle, which they haven't done in a long time.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

Been a bit plugged out of Seattle Electoral actions. How has the Katie Wilson campaign mobilization compared to the mobilization for Prop 1A? I haven't seen near the canvassing yet, but I suppose it's still early.

ask yourself why former MN rep. dean phillips' opinion of zohran mamdani is considered more newsworthy than the opinion of the many new york city democrats who have endorsed him. do you think they booked him to appear on tv and speak on this subject because he is super important?

Senator Maria Cantwell (WA) is an active supporter of genocide. I hope this photo follows her for the rest of her life

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 109 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Fucking lmao

The Seattle City Council just passed a new renter protection that bans algorithmic rent pricing like RealPage

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

Bro, you gotta block that guy, not because he sucks, but because he’s only here to get you to say stuff to him that will get you in legal trouble.
