Highway filled with slow moving, bumper-to-bumper cars

It’s still amazing to me that we’ve basically let ourselves be tricked into buying that THIS is what “freedom” looks like. #CarDependency

🚨 ICE has detained Zahid Chaudhry—father, US veteran, and husband of former congressional candidate Melissa Chaudhry. I demand his release, and freedom for all targeted in Trump’s fascist crackdown. None of us are safe until we’re all safe. #FreeZahid

It is literally the job of these Democrats to take votes and fight for public services. If they don't want to do it because it upends their weekend travel plans, then they are unfit for the job and should step aside for people who actually want to do the job.

Chart shows 500 more houses will be built by King County

Bothell is in its 36 Chambers Wu Tang era. Nothing but bangers. Good job @masonthompson.bsky.social!

Working class, heads up: While we're all grinding to make ends meet, Congress passed a 940-page disaster. Trump's "Big Beautiful" budget? Wondering what is actually in it? We break it down here. And spoiler alert: it's not beautiful.

We must elect officials who will fight this conservative onslaught that has been 40 years in the making. Give no quarter to the attack on the administrative system. Stand up for universal programs. Tax the rich at rates that remove their power from politics. Protect our communities under assault.

It is the job of Democrats in Congress to resist Trump and MAGA. If they find it uncomfortable to do so, nobody is forcing them to hold office, they are free to step aside for those who will fight. Most people literally don't want blood, but they do want Dems to act like this is an urgent crisis.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
