Driving back from No Kings with my spouse, “I Will Follow You into the Dark” by Deathcab for Cutie” came on. It’s someone singing to their lover on their deathbed. We had a great time, don’t cry, I’ll follow you. As the older lover, I was almost moved to a point of emotion where I couldn’t drive.

sic semper tyrannosaurus

I’ve reached the age where laughter turns into coughing.

This is out of control. There is no way this man should be President of the United States.

"sir it was supposed to be a metaphor"

The vibe of Seattle No Kings was very “my first demo with mom and grandmom,” but that’s fine and cute, everybody has to start somewhere.

pour one out for george soros and the brutal writer’s cramp he must have from signing all those checks

At today’s No Kings in Seattle, dude walking next to me: “wow, does everybody smoke pot here?
me: “dude you’re in seattle of course.”
“I just arrived here.”
“Where from?”
“Miami”
“Dude, you’ve got a lot to learn. And if you want some, there’s a shop right on the corner.”

Someone please tell Sean James — who abandoned the name Sean Burch upon shifting to writing lazy, pro-Trump garbage for Mediaite — that actually the former vice president’s claim of the closest margin this century is accurate.

Straw hat pirates FTW!

Opinion | Something Is Stirring in Christian America, and It’s Making Me Nervous

It would make you even more nervous if you were the target of hate speech from the pulpit, and been dealing with the effect on your life and friends for over 40 years. More disingenuous BS from David French.

This sounds remarkably like me and my partner, from oysters to thrift store.

It is true that — for Republicans — the Young Republicans who were in that racist chat were young. It is also true that younger men in particular tend to be a bit more positive about fascists and racists.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Whose side will you take on consequences for speech: JD Vance’s or JD Vance’s? Vice President JD Vance, commenting on random Americans who made light of Charlie Kirk’s assassination: “Call them out, and hell, call their employer. We don't believe in political violence, but we do...

It is true that Vance's approach to toxic comments is hypocritical, advocating for Kirk critics to be fired but dismissing racist Republicans as kids. But he is consistent when you consider that his aim is only protecting his/Trump's power.

Whoop! That’s gonna really piss off Mel Gibson!

Of course they’re going to pretend it was planted there.

Capitol Police called to investigate swastika in GOP congressional office An American flag altered to include an image of a swastika was found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

Hmmmmm. Given the recent leaked Telegram chats and this, I think the Republicans have a Nazi problem.

U.S. House speaker calls Portland naked bike ride ‘most threatening thing I’ve seen yet’ House Speaker Mike Johnson had harsh words to say about Portland's World Naked Bike Ride over the weekend.

What an incredible snowflake.

The mad swamp witch has found the perfect pumpkin to use in her Halloween ritual.

Guess what we did today?

WA GOP supports Trump's use of troops “Portland today, Seattle tomorrow.” Washington state Republicans support Trump’s use of federal troops in Portland and other U.S. cities — some say it’s time for Seattle to be next.

The WA GOP leadership is so very smart to threaten the city that has the only significant voting base in the state, where their domain is the wastelands of Eastern Washington. This is why they will never win state-wide office in the MAGA era, and why they will keep losing district elections to Dems.

Yep.

“Run! The transasaurus is on the loose!”

MAGA rage over Bad Bunny at Super Bowl sparks an alternative show Counterprogramming hosted by the group that Charlie Kirk founded spotlights the growing political polarization surrounding one of the biggest events of the year.

It will be instructive to see how the ratings of the two events compare.

“Pansies?”

Tonight my spouse described me as “a snide southern nerd.” I replied “snide is part of my regional heritage.
