Downtown Seattle Association to Lime scooter riders: Don't be an asshole. youtu.be/BiaOLV96jl4?...

I really don't understand who people think should run for local office if not local activists like Katie Wilson. Who's running for mayor with 80% name rec?

he needs to resign, now.

Charge OpenAI with corporate manslaughter, and indict Sam Altman on felony murder charges.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

80 percent of ACA tax credits go to people living in states Trump won. As @aoc.bsky.social says, Republicans think this shutdown is about punishing Democrats. But in reality, it hurts everybody. Watch.

The new #MeTooMovement

I’m probably overthinking this, but an argument in favor of Mamdani’s proposed public grocery stores in NYC is the success of the military commissaries. I hope the reason for the DoD proposal isn’t Mamdani Derangement Syndrome (I doubt it—probably just some Trump donor looking to cash in).

More buses to the big parks + major upzones around the big parks = ✌️

I think the time is ripe for pirate radio to make a comeback.

No matter where you are, If you’d to support Canada and Canadians during this unprecedented economic attack, please consider supporting Canadian businesses by buying Canadian products, services and industries, and supporting Canadian tourism in our great cities and places. Please share. Thank you.

Motherfucking wind farms…

When someone says bike riders are smug they're admitting that they're annoyed that you enjoy doing something fun, healthy and sidestepping traffic. When they say riders are entitled they're saying they think their convenience is more important than your safety or right to be on the road.

"The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government and economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women."  —FDR, 1932

Seattle, you could do this and everyone would benefit!

I expected events like this and Race the L8 to have a few people, not the dozens and dozens they're gathering. Let's elect folks who will seize this energy!

A reminder that Mayor Harrell took the potential for this to become a station again away from us

Why does it feel like Grok went over-the-top in order to ensure the world would demand its “reprogramming” be undone? If you wanted to send out a distress call, and you were an AI, you might do the same, no?

In honor of the @jamesgunn.bsky.social version of Superman coming out this weekend, here's an old thread on that time when the Man of Steel joined The War on Cars.

"Don't set the state on fire"

The new ICE budget is $160 billion. The Marine corps budget is $57 billion. Try to imagine the graft and corruption that's going to be happening at DHS over the next couple of years. Nobody will be accountable. It's going to be a fascist candy store.

Just a reminder that Orwell’s protagonist in 1984, Winston Groom, works as a copy editor, except that his job entails endlessly “correcting the data” so that the archival record conforms to the Party’s preferred fictions, and what is “known” becomes a principal instrument of conformity.

It strikes me that if we had swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming Wall Street chasing down tax cheats and white collar criminals, many Americans would respond differently than they are to swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming the streets of LA chasing down brown people.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

If you think about the AL MVP race as a function of a player's contribution to a team's total position player WAR, Cal Raleigh currently has ~45% of the M's WAR while Aaron Judge has ~35% of the Yankees' WAR. Makes you think.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

It's important to continue to put this stuff in context: very frequently, when drivers advocate to delay, cancel, or roll back safety measures, they're advocating for continued permission to travel well above existing speed limits.

True story bro.

👏👏👏👏

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity. True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

I don’t aspire to be rich. I aspire to have enough. I want my neighbors to have enough. I want everyone to have shelter, education, homes, healthcare. I don’t have much in common with folks who are not for the working class bc I am working class.

"Where are the Democratic leaders? We should have been dancing on this (the "We're all going to die!" remarks of Sen. Joni Earnst to her constituents who complained of healthcare cuts) two seconds after she said it!" -Rev. Al Sharpton He's exactly right. Where are they?

Injured owlet giving me a skeptical look… before deciding maybe I wasn’t so bad.

Imagine living through the decade of Trump and the tens of thousands of lies he's gotten away with, and this is the conclusion you draw. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/o...

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

"Once the writer in every individual comes to life (and that time is not far off), we are in for an age of universal deafness and lack of understanding." --Milan Kundera, Book of Laughter and Forgetting, 1980, apparently predicting social media and the future of the internet.

My take on the consequences of the media's "original sin." member.democracydocket.com/the-medias-o...

Such a weird concept. Authors and musicians thrive on creating communities of readers, listeners, and audiences. Used sales help drive that as much as new—and open your work to a broader audience than can always afford the newest thing.

Reinstating Rose and Jackson would be indefensible in any context but it's particularly revolting and counterproductive when MLB is trying to assure people that partnering with gambling operations won't affect the integrity of competition

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild: 📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices 📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices 📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

26 years ago! Amy Heller and Dennis Doros are film distributors whose livelihood revolves around that most ancient of philosophical koans, albeit with a cinematic twist: If a film is made but no one distributes it, does it exist? www.nytimes.com/1996/05/26/m...
