IMMIGRATION NOW! IMMIGRATION TOMORROW! IMMIGRATION FOREVER!
@adamsmith.house.gov did not face a viable primary challenger, yet he was only able to get 51% of the ballots cast. (His opponents were a wackadoo nutjob and someone who didn't campaign) I hope someone competent takes that as inspiration and runs a real campaign against him in '28.
If anyone had any doubt that Kshama Sawant was anything other than a narcissistic attention addict, last night's classless display should have removed that doubt. What an asshole.
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
Stevens was a terrible candidate, but AIPAC is the most toxic political group in America. It’s like taking money from NAMBLA at this point.
A friend in Wenatchee just texted me. AQI there is over 900. That's insane.

Imagine claiming your god is behind powerful and wealthy people stripping food assistance, healthcare, USAID, environmental protections, food protections, terrorizing immigrants, and senseless wars, then getting so offended when people reject your god.
If you're trying to stretch your food budget and you have access to Costco, there's nothing better than their $5.00 roast chicken. Last week's chicken made the following for two people: roast chicken with potatoes and salad. Chicken stock. Tortilla soup, chicken salad and veggie soup w/ chicken
Bluesky's nuclear block supports a culture of consent. Each user can completely prevent another user from having any access to them on this site. Right wing harassers on X hate consent. They hate being told "no." They hate not being able to force their posts onto others and target others.
We're almost at the primary. Just 48 hours left. I need all the help I can get to make sure we get even more people mobilized to vote. Thank you @plasticmartyr.bsky.social for helping me spread the word!
The correct answer is Low, Heroes and Lodger. Second place is Horses, Radio Ethiopia and Easter. Actually it's a tie.
What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
Anyways when people talk about how liberal institutions are enabling our descent into fascism...KUOW is one of those institutions
This is the cost of urban sprawl. The disingenuous loons pretending to care about the environment to prevent infill development are dooming the environment to protect their privilege. We must build housing in city.
My son picked a hell of a weekend to go to Spokane to meet his girlfriend's folks
Binface is the politician we all need. Unfortunately only Clacton can have him at the moment. Vote Binface!
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.
Party that spent the last decade grooming and funding and encouraging blind nazi ideologues to run for office and government positions : uh oh
The money is being spent either way. Either on cages or on helping people avoid homelessness and addiction and the cages. There is zero room for debate on this and if you debate it you have lost. Those are the facts.
Sometimes you will come across an otherwise normal seeming liberal person who is crying about seeing a homeless person and if they don’t agree every single dollar spent on punishment should instead be spent on the front end improving everyone’s lives they are just a fascist who won’t admit it.
@adamsmith.house.gov , the laziest representative in the House, will say nothing and do even less to help his constituent.
Stacey Fitzpatrick's husband was abducted by ICE last week in Seattle. Now authorities are threatening him to self-deport without legal representation. youtube.com/shorts/r51WA...
The fact that no one in the mainstream press (or, more understandably, on the knives-out city council) seems to think SPD bears any culpability for inaccurate information SPD has put out and for SPD's actions on Sunday night is bonkers, and goes to show how differently this mayor is being treated.
Labor unions stand in solidarity with each other. You will -never- see cops walking a picket line with people on strike. You will see "union" cops working a strike on overtime, and you will see them arrest strikers (for "trespassing") at management's behest. Cops aren't union. 3/?
It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...
Another datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
Eddie Vedder is the worst vocalist in the history of rock music. Unbearable garbage voice.
Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.

You have a month to write a 33 1/3 book about the album of your choice. Which record are you going to write about? (No previously covered albums allowed; new shit must come to light: see below.) (For all books in the series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_1/3) (H/t @monostich.bsky.social
This guy would win in a landslide if he ran for office. I promise you there are SO MANY voters waiting for the "Were going through every file and we will find all of you" candidate to take on the New Gestapo. Establishment Dems will never hold anyone accountable. They had their chance and blew it
