Sounds like the annoying and shrill pro-DEI ladies who said that perhaps running someone who in adulthood knowingly had Nazi tattoos inked to their body was not a great idea were right...
Awesome! More of this please! Let’s do this with our congresspeople also.

Yes. The tactic that is most usefully used against socialist ideas has always been ridicule because all attempts to argue against it in good faith can’t hold up.

The Seattle Times editorial board opposes Seattle's "taller, denser, faster" growth plan, and they're mad enough about it to call The Urbanist "the builders' media mouthpiece." Here are the many things they got wrong in their recent editorial. Editorial: www.theurbanist.org/editorial-se...

Scripted television copaganda carries a lot of weight in our culture. It feels so good to see cops bending the rules in pursuit of justice, and solving the crimes, and putting the bad guys away, but it is nothing but fantasy and we have been eating it whole hog for decades.
Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 4mo agothe imaginary version of the criminal legal system in people’s heads—where cops believe everyone, where prosecutors do what victims and survivors want them do—gets such a clear light shone on it in these moments, I hope people learning this now remember the next time we’re right back here
Again I will remind everyone to always check the endorsements page of everyone seeking election in your districts.

Genuinely hilarious how angry Seattleites are today that it is snowing in the city. I'm mad too. I want my snow to stick to the roads and shut down the whole town for 3 days or nothing at all! This wet slop ain't doing it.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police. I will hold your hand as I say this: Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit. Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

The time for bold action is now! @governorferguson.bsky.social
Rep. Shaun Scott 🌹🤝@organizewithshaun.bsky.social · 9mo agoToday I'm calling on @governorferguson.bsky.social to declare a state of emergency: the expiration of SNAP benefits for nearly one million Washingtonians will be a disaster for the health of many, and for the economic health of the state. We must join other state governments and act swiftly.
Very important to not fall for the feigned helplessness of neoliberals in control of blue state governments: Fully administering food stamps would cost Washington at most 1% of its entire budget, and I have to believe it’d be even less for New York, California, Illinois, et al.
Spokane Rising@spokanerising.com · 9mo agoIt kind of boggles my mind that Gov. Ferguson hasn’t done this yet? Seems like a very easy call to be able to free up other funds to support SNAP recipients.
I got this text too. It reminded me to fill out my ballot for Katie Wilson (and a ton of great progressive candidates) and get it turned in! I had (the privilege to be able) to LEAVE THE WORK FORCE for over a decade because childcare was too expensive and I am still pissed about it. VOTE!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
"Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology" is a great line

Americans are being conditioned to think of crime as an urban issue. Ask why. Alabama's murder rate is far higher than New York City's. Urban crime is not worse than rural crime. It's just more visible. In cities everything is more visible. So be careful what you blame city leaders for.
