A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

By and large, however, the allegations against the other social media platforms are less detailed than those against Meta. The internal documents cited by the plaintiffs allege: Meta intentionally designed its youth safety features to be ineffective and rarely used, and blocked testing of safety features that it feared might be harmful to growth. Meta required users to be caught 17 times attempting to traffic people for sex before it would remove them from its platform, which a document described as “a very, very, very high strike threshold." Meta recognized that optimizing its products to increase teen engagement resulted in serving them more harmful content, but did so anyway. Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.

17 strikes and you’re out. 💀

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.

Seattlites, its mid-Novemeber and I need you to stop putting your soft goods on the curb.

I beg you to join your local Buy Nothing and/or mutual aid groups to give items directly to people who want them.

No one wants a moldy couch or slug-infested pack n play. Nobody.

Love to bike to work through the middle of the vehicular manslaughter arms race

Soooo many artificial Christmas trees for sale

Goodwill: the modern Christmas tree farm 🧑🏼‍🎄

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Asshole tabby cat clutching my knitting with his claws of death

This man caught me frogging a sweater and now I am bleeding.

There are no words for how evil this is

You don't think we can do better?

this is exactly what's happening

Thank god for KEXP. What a service they provide 🫶🏼

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

This game is simply never going to end. We live here now.

I want them all prosecuted. Every last one of them.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

Elon Musk did this

This is not news, but if you have a toddler, public transportation is such a nap-saver.

A 20 minute drive or bike ride? Babe falls asleep half way through and then wants another wake window when you get home.

A 40 minute bus ride? Fully engaged & awake the whole way home. 10/10, fully recommend.

I am sad to inform you that America’s shit is all fucked up.

Charlie Kirk never served one day in uniform nor one day in office. He made memes on the internet and said shitty things about people on podcasts. If this is who Republicans consider a hero and want to display in death, let them. It says more about them than anyone against their ideology ever could.

I crocheted myself a cardigan and my toddler a matching romper with the extra yarn

Katie Wilson for Mayor!

Seattle folks, lmk if you want a yard or window sign! Turns out my neighbor works for the campaign 🎉

I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different.

Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.

As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle

I think we should confiscate and destroy *all* the guns.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
