Wild to think this city could soon have a better person as its mayor than a guy who once pulled a gun on a couple over a disputed spot in the parking lot of a riverboat casino in Iowa, better things really are possible

crazy thought, maybe school shouldn't be about maximizing profit

i love feeling like an entrepreneur when i'm trying to not go bankrupt for having the audacity to get sick

where are the freedom of speech absolutists

remember when there was a national conversation around target's vaguely queer-positive merchandise? like whole new york times exposés on it? well walmart is currently selling this: www.walmart.com/ip/Unisex-Pa...

one thing to note is that it is very good that dems/centrists see that an affordability agenda from a leftist/collectivist perspective is very much winnable but if they campaign on it and do not follow through on making it a reality, that is going to drive people to the far right fast as hell

some guy is making a documentary about TCAP and it seems like it's mildly critical from this interview but this line was hilarious. like, unless you're driving people to suicide and putting people on blast without due process, you're not doing the same thing variety.com/2025/tv/spot...

here's a great example of bad journalism 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

i was going to make a joke about how karl marx was jesus but even those timelines don't line up

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Per Customs & Border Protection, Department of Justice, and DEA data, 80-90% of foreign fentanyl that has been brought into the US each year since 2019 has been brought by American citizens coming through ports of entry. Only 0.02% of people arrested for entering illegally even possess any fentanyl

i blame the west wing www.youtube.com/watch?v=URuR...

Ezra Klein and Zack De la Rocha both grew up in Irvine, CA and I feel like their descriptions of their hometown makes sooooo much sense

i don't know how people can read the things matt yglesias writes and think that he's anything other than a conservative. this is indistinguishable from fox news.

this graphic is everything. this is why people overestimate the prevalence of violent crime and terrorism and support punitive police measures. they are quite literally distorting reality in order to keep you scared of the wrong things.

The U.S. spends over $180 billion on cops and incarceration every year. The annual SNAP budget is $100 billion.

Breaking: Murderer Actually Found Guilty of Murder

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

every day that goes by seems to justify my criticism of the abundance movement

conspiracy to make a cop go slow

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

okay but that's a great april fools video idea

man something about this look so familiar. trying to put my finger on it...

"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have"

“Bill Clinton goes around today saying, I offered the Palestinians everything and they turned it down. That is a lie, in your view?” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social questions Middle East peace negotiator Robert Malley about the failure of Camp David and Bill Clinton’s role in it zeteo.com/p/robert-mal...

www.thedailybeast.com/all-the-east... libs are freaking out about this white house renovation. and i honestly just could not care less about losing the hallway Obama walked down once. imagine being pissed about Marie Antoinette getting rid of your favorite Louis statue at Versailles

maybe i'm just naive, but i feel like trump touting that he's adding a new wing to his palace — i mean, the white house — while we are on the verge of a recession isn't going to be a popular move

i'm not sure i can handle this coming age of ai-misinformation campaign ads

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence” when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

besides the nazi tattoo, i think fighting for BLACKWATER as recently as 2018 should be pretty disqualifying for a progressive candidate too.

"You cannot be explaining your Nazi tattoo and defeat a multi-term incumbent."

$3 million worth of drugs is "enough drugs to kill everyone in Seattle—twice." Um, like if we all took them? (I know what Harrell is saying, but I find this scare tactic silly. Your local Fred Meyer sells enough poison to kill the entire surrounding neighborhood!)

if you're in seattle and you're sad about the mariners, make sure you vote out bruce harrell because it's probably his fault

that the National Republican Senatorial Committee made a video literally putting words in the mouths of their opponents is the dark future we all saw coming but boy it still feels like it snuck up on me

www.wired.com/story/owning... "It's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is." Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.

Friends, if you haven’t been to a normie protest before, please don’t let some nutters on the internet worry you that you’re going to be tear gassed and beaten, it will be fine. By all means be reasonably cautious, but this is not a black bloc event okay? It’s fine.

michael barbaro, you are a hack www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/p...

Just an incredible opening to this NYT interview with Zohran Mamdani: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/p...

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

He’s saying this as Fox is playing footage of an apparent trump supporter

I think Michelle Wu would be phenomenal to run for Warren's seat in 2030 or for the governorship. She's a political star and I could easily see her as a future presidential candidate. She's the future of the Massachusetts democratic party.

I think Ed Markey needs to retire and Ayanna Presley should run and block Seth Moulton from that seat. We need younger folks in office but it can't be Moulton. He would be a disaster for Massachusetts.

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

Don't call them nazis though. That promotes political violence.

lmao is there any weaker of a look than complaining about your militarized police being attacked by people without clothes?
