Progressives Win in Seattle, Changing Directions on Public Safety Voters ousted a mayor who oversaw a surge in encampment sweeps, and a Republican prosecutor who pursued punitive policies toward homeless people and drug users.

“Billionaires have taken control of this country in ways we’ve never seen before, and it is hurting all of us. Progressives in Seattle who won spoke pretty unapologetically about that reality,” says a newly elected Seattle city council member.

Jared Polis will not be my next Senator.

Still disgusted that OU threw a grad student under the bus in favor of a lazy undergrad who didn’t want to do the reading or writing one week. It takes so much hard work and merit (good scores/grades) to get to grad school. Don’t try to tell me that any of this admin knows about hard work or merit.

I favor the arrest and imprisonment of any immigrant who has 34 felony convictions and is an adjudicated rapist. I favor the same for any president who has that record.

You’re a clown.

Some ignorant cowards in Reno, NV vandalized a rainbow bridge created by a group of Girl Scouts as a memorial for people grieving the loss of their pets.
