Hmm where to start… I was born, grew up, did stupid stuff, did smart stuff, survived both. Noticed long ago that the Republicans were not working for the people and have voted accordingly- since McGovern. No DMs, no follow backs without content.
FYI, Seattle is a book town. I remember the Mariners making it to the playoffs & a game was on as several hundred people waited in line for over an hour to get into the used book sale the library put on. It was a home game too. Libraries For Evah!
Robert Cruickshank@robertcruickshank.com · 8h agoThe Seattle library levy is on track to pass with 80% voting yes. The Seattle Times came out against it and was resoundingly ignored. Seattle voters want nice things and are willing to pay for them.
Ah, if only….
ElizabethC 💙🐸@econklin44.bsky.social · 23h agoWe can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.
Michigan Democrats chose Abdul El-Sayed because he’s a fighter willing to stand up to the tyrant in the Oval Office. Corporate Democrats like Chuck Schumer aren't up to the task because they won’t bite the corporate hands that feed them.

"Today, Davey Hearn pled not guilty — because he is not guilty," Norm Eisen, one of his attorneys, said outside DC Superior Court. "If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk — and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution."

ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
States with the lowest literacy rates shouldn’t be banning books, they should be reading them
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Yep this is expected behavior and one of the reasons that nothing has been done in 40 years. Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, & CA are the other ones.

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
I think people who find out truly horrible shit about a politician but doesn't tell anyone so they can hold out for a book deal are shitty humans.
They’re just innocent tourists gazing in wonder at the rotunda. Pardon Please!

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250
Criticizing individual Israeli leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu should not be seen as an attack on all Jews.
Please try to be just a LITTLE bit surprised…. Nope. I can’t manage that. If I could act that well honey, I’d be killing it in Hollywood.
The Mouthy Renegade Writer@mouthyrenegade.bsky.social · 19h agoThis openly corrupt, criminal administration must be stopped. How in the fuck is this just happening daily with no consequences for Traitor Trump?
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
Even snakes have spines. I feel you’re picking in the jellyfish population when you compare politicians to jellyfish .

This is so true. Texans you have to turn Texas back to blue. You have to want better.
This hasn’t gotten much attention, but it should. While everyone was focused on Schedule F, the administration created something even broader. On July 30, a new OPM rule took effect that creates a second way to fire federal employees outside the normal civil service process.
