Does anyone else in Seattle remember when the Mariners stadium was built & they promised that there wouldn't be 2 events at the same time in the stadiums?
I suppose they are TECHNICALLY living up to that but with the Seahawks ending at 4 and the Mariners starting at 5, it feels like the same time.

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play

go fuckin Huskies

Nazi UW students fuck off

This could have been an email...

Hey @nytimes.com I have an idea, why don't you cover the current actions of the US Government as you would other countries??

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

hey race...as someone who has been around a while... do you remember a bar on Market Street called the balcony? It would have been around in the late 70s/early 80s?

Tufts University graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk’s arrest is a clarifying moment for American democracy, writes senior correspondent Zack Beauchamp. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/ZfQOSf

The Sunday shows are keeping it real—Schumer gave away the game for nothing.

Jen Psaki lays out what he could have done. He played this wrong on every level.

And with a Social Security, Medicare, and a tax cut fight coming, do you really want @schumer.senate.gov leading the fight?!

And now with Patel running the FBI, you know that they won't be investigating these people.

It's important for them to message to the brown shirts that they won't face consequences.

I've heard a few that believe they had no hand in this shit show. Others are seeing the current shit show as a positive to 'show' how badly things are.

We only have to welcome them if they accept us and commit to undoing the damage they have done.
Just being there because it impacts them doesn't mean we need to welcome them. If they aren't repentant, they can fight them in their own spaces. And we will cheer their wins.

So many of them keep saying, but I live in a blue state, my vote didn't matter. I point out that it did, as it allowed the felon to crow about winning the popular vote and spin it as a 'mandate'

For the last 2 years I've had sooo many folks on all sorts of platforms yell at me, call me a boot licker, gave me the 'both parties are the same' crap. All because I had the nerve to point out that Biden/Harris were harm reduction.
Y'all owe me a fucking apology.

Remove the social safety net, blow up inflation, remove labor protections, and you create an environment where corporations can abuse workers and the workers can't leave without starving.

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.

I view the people who voted for him as 'good Germans' After the first 4 years they knew what was coming. They decided sacrificing peoples lives was an acceptable trade to make.
If they want me to accept them back into society they need to make active steps to restore the damage they have done.

I agree that's the major reason it's pushed as 'insecure'.
That said I do think that for less savvy users, they often get frustrated with the inherent security and wind up opening vectors without realizing it.

Inspired by recent events to do an anthology called “PUNCH A NAZI”. All stories 4 pages long, only story criteria is that your story MUST be about a Nazi being punched. Digital only. All profits to The Trevor Project. Open to all comers but especially queer and other marginalized creators. Who’s in?

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Part of the issue is that the Dems have such a large tent that they tend to eat their own. There is no way that anyone can appeal to the broad base that they have without alienating other parts.

I was going to leave the big one owned by zuk, but there isn't a viable option for community organizing currently present.

Seems problematic for Austrian Far Right politicians to be ascendant again.

Authoritarians need conflicts and expansion to keep people in line.
