Okay but like why is the media this obsessed with the kidnapping of a reporter's mom more than daily ICE kidnapping it's like the system is still working as designed

NBA game in London. Someone screams “Leave Greenland alone!” during US national anthem. The crowd reacts in support.

Bless the Ford worker who called Donald Trump a pedophile protector to his face today, which made President Pedo Protector throw up his tiny middle finger.

Merrick Garland will almost certainly go down as one of the most negligent figures in American history.

A few years ago we had the coldest.

I admittedly find Ferguson grating. I can't stand the consultant schtick that tries to brand him as the very serious, adult-in-the-room. Meanwhile his actual actions are head-in-the-sand denial about hard choices or real solutions.

I dunno, I think this bill is dead on arrival #waleg app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary/...

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Why is Facebook thinking I really need to see white boys going to Asian countries, learning a little bit of the language, and using it to hit on Asian women. I'm getting it A LOT. I do not want or need to know that there are so many accounts like this. But it's definitely creepy as fuck.

Overall #waleg pre-filed bills show how much our legislature is filled with tons of unserious people. This one, however, made me giggle, because while the majority party is sleeping at the wheel, the minority party wants you to know that comprehensive sex ed is bad for polluters too. #nolubeforyou

Bob Ferguson handling our state's response to the student loan crisis with the urgency of a bitch who sent his kids to a ritzy Catholic prep school

The Democratic Party is hostile to holding the powerful accountable.

primary every democrat in this state who defends Bob Ferguson's budget

I continue to believe the collapse of public education in America is one of this country’s most important yet undercovered stories.

really went dark for the sequel

P-p-p-poper face, p-p-poper face

Zuck decided I needed to see a Libertarian page's post and like.... my dude proudly declared that he's a stubborn man-child who throws tantrums over eating vegetables (and can't land a steady date and it's Greta Thunberg's fault). This has got to be the most Libertarian thing that I ever did see.

They replaced David Hogg with Shasti Conrad, who drove WA Dems' budget into the ground and jacked up the price of basic candidate tools. Go drive Paul Wellstone's bus off a cliff. The DNC is deader anyway.

Term limits isn't good enough. You know how many lawmakers just become lobbyists after that nice little resume? I think along with term limits, lawmakers should serve the same number of years as the least-paying job of their constituents with no support after service. They should work accordingly.

I don't think I've ever been in a more bleak state about the world and much as I want to be, I'm not optimistic in the slightest about the future of King County or this state. I genuinely don't think we'll see the change we're longing for. The rot is too ingrained. I hope I'm wrong.

Progressives in Seattle: Take a break from the victory lap before you forget that this story exists. Would you be okay if this was a Republican? If the answer is "no" then remember your ethics. Surely someone in Seattle can do good policy without blowing The Stranger's editorial board.

Pro tip (from something that just happened): if you are a legislator and getting bad press, DON'T slide into a commenter's private DMs to talk about how mad you are that you expressed your disproval when you aren't connected with them online. Good job HDCC of Washington, way to pick winners.

Just going to share these screenshots I saved that DNC vice chair Shasti had even in 2019, and when I warned her again about the founder and leader of an organization of people who don't deserve constitutional protections. They don't just CAIR. They don't give a shit

Same

Hey @ WashDems, why are we focusing on Chicago when we have people in Washington, including the husband of a former congressional candidate (and veteran and amputee from his time in service), in ICE custody? Is it because that candidate challenged your Palantir-funded booty call Adam Smith?

Just remember that Washington State actually cut funding for childcare and people lost their jobs, so Bob Ferguson jerking off billionaire philanthropists instead of taxing them for childcare is not exactly a service to anyone but the ones getting jerked off

Why the fuck is the Kent Chief of Police who covered up a literal nazi part of Girmay Zahilay's team? Oh right because the only thing that changed in King County was getting a more diverse face for the same racist systems. wheeee

I can't remember the last time I loved getting an earworm but thanks Expedition 33

Washington State Democrats is led by someone who spent her energy caping for and covering up known domestic violence abusers in the party and the DNC let her be vice chair so yeah 1. If they conveniently forget #metoo 2. If they call genocide a "purity test" Why do you think they'd care?

See: #waleg acting like we don't have a damn near supermajority trifecta and we spend our power being sleazy shitheads (or, if you're the state party chair Shasti Conrad, covering up and caping for domestic violence perps like Carmen Rivera because #loyalty)

One version of "temperament unfit for elected office" we don't talk enough is spineless sycophants. We gotta stop endorsing people like June Robinson, vote her ass out Everett www.columbian.com/news/2025/no...

Wishing all Islamophobes nothing but the best rotten bacon

Yay

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

Indivisibles

Teen Vogue rising after the 2016 election and dying after the 2024 election doesn't even feel like a metaphor as much as a microcosm of what is happening all over places that were once strong areas of resistance.

To my friends in Renton, Mary Clymer is really nobody to be afraid of. It's not like she'd try to assault you or destroy your car in attempting to assault you. That would be her opponent who is the epitome of everything wrong with the Washington Democrat Party

The funny thing about racists is that they go after my Norwegian inspired first name that suggests I'm a Christian (I'm a very loud atheist). Meanwhile, my last name is Filipino Oh and my husband was born here because he's a Navy brat lol

This is kinda what we call an inconvenient truth, but on the other hand, I will say that going vegetarian with most of my vegetarian meals ending up being vegan, is really not bad. But I do side eye greenwashing environmentalists who dismiss the role of ag. because it means $$$ is their fave green

Seattle, Humpy didn't curse the Mariners. That was Bruce Harrell with Humpy Day.

If you're running for legislature in the 5th LD this year, please stop mentioning 1. How you helped with the bomb cycle. On Black Diamond council we got zero communication and all of your online content was only for Issaquah 2. How you fought for bills you literally tried to kill (see: parking)

Since Washington State loves to tax everything except the wealthy maybe we should tax AI usage since it's what the wealthy are using to make themselves richer while unemploying people

The way Bob Ferguson is mishandling (or more accurately) not handling ICE fascism is also enough of a reason to make him a one-term wonder. Thanks for signing the clergy bill but kids aren't safe from ICE either

Hey um Democrats who only care about us when they gave something to gain don't care about us at all

I can't wait for PSE to weaponize these power outages to tell us to build more structures to power AI slop even though the reason for more power outages is due to the climate crisis more demand on our power grid both linked to AI

POV: You're in a small, historically Republican town Democrat LD candidate: AHH, that means I gotta show how much THE COPS LOVE ME *puts up FOP endorsements on signs* 1. Republicans will always hate you 2. The actual cops still hate and distrust you 3. Now our town hates you for obvious patronizing

All I want for my birthday is an end to genocide and state legislators who give a shit

I am now officially too old and too wise to be a member of the Young Democrats. Officially marked safe by being tokenized by dinosaurs

I warned about this when I saw these a lot in the middle school I worked at. This was in Tahoma School District. The principal told me to see a counselor because I was "seeing things" The Vice Principal said that if a kid wrote "H**L H***r" in glass on the bus it wasn't their problem.
