He/Him. “It’s not looting if it was your fucking money to start with.” - Brennan Lee Mulligan

Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

Cop on the street at night pointing a gun upwards across the street to the second floor of a building at the camera-holder, the streetlight illuminates him casting his shadow in the appearance of a Sieg Heil.

I assume everyone on here already knows this, but just in case: If you live in WA, you need to vote NO on all 3 ballot initiatives: I-645: tax cuts for the uber-rich I-638: school genital inspections of girls I-001: school counselors have to tell parents everything kids tell them

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Hook and Squeeze

Hey, WA state labor siblings? In case you haven’t heard, the state AFL-CIO passed a resolution earlier this month calling for the dissolution of ICE. Do what you can, and know that we all stand in solidarity together against this police state.
