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

Guest Rant: Bruce Harrell Is a Failure Unfit for Office In this guest rant, contributor Ron Davis makes his case for why, with primary election ballots on the way, Seattle voters should dump the city's Mayor and former City Councilman Bruce Harrell.

Hey fellow Seattleites, it's the last day to vote against this jackass. Please do so!

In other words, a robust, respected, well-paid, well-staffed bureaucracy is the key to accomplishing large-scale public works project on time and under budget.

Cutting public agencies to the bone & farming out their responsibilities to the private sector *doesn't work*.

A healthy work ethic includes not working when you're sick not only because working through illness only prolongs the illness and reduces employee productivity but also because getting other people sick fucks up their productivity. Or kills them. We've learned nothing from covid

Seems bad

Trump Administration Live Updates: Johnson Shutting Down House Until September to Block Epstein Vote

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

Fellow Seattleites: I beg you. Please do not reelect this absolute tool, this non-entity, this empty suit. Please elect someone who will put Seattle's purported progressive values into action. (Her name is Katie Wilson.)

Trump won't confront the climate crisis. He'll feast off it. Floods, fires, financial collapse—the MAGA crowd can't wait.

1/ Trump is doing exactly what @alexsteffen.bsky.social predicted back in November: "The Trump crowd has already shown they don’t see acceleration of the climate chaos as a problem—they see it as an opportunity."

The terrible, dark secret republicans don’t want you to know is government works when you fund and staff it with people who care. Before they dismantled our federal agencies, they were full of dedicated public servants who were remarkably responsive because THEY WANTED TO HELP.

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.

There is plenty of stuff even rich people aren’t allowed to own. You can’t have a nuclear weapon. You can’t have a mountain gorilla if you’re not a licensed facility. Expand the list of shit no one is allowed to own or use.

no amount of free money is going to get people to have children in a stagnant society of rampant corruption and dwindling opportunity

you can't draw a lot of conclusions from a single race. there are external factors, flawed candidates, the right political climate. but one conclusion you can absolutely draw is that all of the people who tell you that there's only one way things can be are fucking wrong

128 Democrats join House Republicans to block AOC, Al Green bid to impeach Trump Lacking support from party leaders, Rep. Al Green and progressives’ bid to launch punitive inquiry over ‘Midnight Hammer’ bombardment fails

What the fuck are we doing here @housedemocrats.bsky.social. You fucking cowards. Shame on you

Trump's DOJ sues Washington state over clergy sexual abuse reporting law The federal government is suing Washington state over a new law that some Catholic priests refuse to follow.

If you combine this with the obsession with teen athletes' genitalia with various scandals, it's hard to see the GOP as anything other than a pro-child-molestation party. www.kuow.org/stories/trum...

The Best Wildfire Solution We're Not Using | Sightline Institute Three ways to curb the sprawl that traps us on a wildfire treadmill.

One problem with selling public forest and wildlands is that developing housing in the WUI (wildland-urban interface) ends badly.

The location of housing has had more impact on how many lives and homes are lost to fire than *any other variable,* incl. the hotter & drier weather of climate change.

This is what they are exchanging for lower taxes for rich people.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

Is there an end date for the pilot? I'm about to go out of town but want to be sure not to miss it!

Republicans are about to strip 13.7 million Americans of healthcare so does anyone know where I can find some nonstop coverage about the previous president being old??

Adriana Smith was 9 weeks pregnant when she died. Her body has being kept ‘alive’ by machines for the last 3 months, (and is ongoing) forced to grow a foetus that has fluid in the brain and may not survive birth. All because of Georgia’s abortion ban.

This is absolutely sickening.
