There’s only 6 hours left to vote in today’s primary elections. Only 20% of voters in King County have turned in their ballot so far. Boomers are out voting Gen Z by almost 5 to 1.

The Trump administration has gone months without paying attorneys who represent unaccompanied immigrant children as part of a years-old, congressionally-funded effort. The latest in a series of temporary bridge contracts ends tomorrow, with no replacement in sight: www.huffpost.com/entry/unacco...
These Lawyers Make Sure Children Don’t Face Deportation Hearings Alone. Trump Hasn't Paid Them In Months.
“We know what happens when children go to court without an attorney,” a lawyer said. “One word: deportation.”

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?
FEMA said yes to Democratic disaster requests. Trump killed them anyway.
President Donald Trump cast aside bipartisan precedent when he rejected eligible disaster requests from four blue states.

Wow so crazy huh almost like you should've been working on this. Couldn't have seen this coming. Absolutely no way of seeing it coming.
Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 7d ago“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Context from in the article if you haven’t heard this term before. Also, I first learned this reading news about CBP when I moved near the border a decade ago. They have always been like this and always will as long as the agency is allowed to exist.

it’s insane how much admin america’s health care system loads onto individuals: calling your insurance(s) for basic pre authorizations, vacation overrides, co-pays, deductibles, coverage issues, billing etc etc Aussie Medicare is one card, no nonsense. Universal Health Coverage is brilliant.
The drug war also acts as sort of a “price support” for drug traffickers. It turns minimally processed agricultural and chemical commodities that cost pennies to produce into priceless substances through a counterproductive risk premium. It ensures there will be an endless supply of traffickers.
Matt Eminem@legalleadtheway.bsky.social · last wk.Sure, we’re doing extrajudicial killings that should shame all those involved for generations, but at least it also totally fails to achieve the stated objectives.

We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.

Holy shit. This is a real « things were different before the internet » moment. I’ve never seen this quote before.

Calvinism is Christianity’s glitter. It gets EVERYWHERE, it doesn’t wash off, you can move houses three times and you will still find it, and it’s just a pollutant making messes.
No ICE agents have been killed or seriously injured by vehicles, yet we have multiple videos of ICE agents using their cars as weapons against protesters. ICE can weaponize their vehicles whenever they want, but if someone else even drives *near them* they'll use it as pretext for summary execution.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
