Another subplot here is that far from just representing Epstein in court it seems like Ken Starr was working as a full-on child rape concierge

Sadly this is also the reason that it is likely here to stay. The most ironclad rule of US politics, and the one that both parties seem to be fully in lockstep on, is that it's never ok to inconvenience any rich person.

Legalized gambling is fully just a way to implement a very regressive tax without admitting it. 100% no reason for it other than to give our useless elected representatives cover for taxing poor people instead of rich people.

At this point it would be less callous if Bruce just called a press conference and said "I don't care that Jaahnavi Kandula died"

This same agreement makes it even *easier* for SPD cops to get away with their constant reckless driving. Absolutely shameful how Bruce is willing to risk having more people killed like Jaahnavi Kandula so that he doesn't have to stand up to SPD 🤢🤮

Bruce Harrell's plan for a better Seattle is to give his private phone number to the owner of University Village and ignore everyone else who lives here

"Dick Cheney, who engineered a scheme in which over one million innocent people were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan while Halliburton made billions, has died.

He's been helping sell right-wing antisemitism for years. He retweets Jack Posobiec (of repeatedly posting "1488" fame) constantly, and has retweeted the neo-Nazi cartoonist who writes "Stonetoss"

When we get invaded by an army of Giant Tires and these guys are ready to flip them back where they came from you are going to feel pretty stupid

Jonathon Greenblatt's thing seems to be that anyone willing to support genocide in Gaza gets a free pass on any amount of antisemitism

It's also funny because the article reads like tech and Trumpism are completely external factors and doesn't acknowledge the myriad of ways that Harrell could have done more against Trump and lame tech companies and decided not to

These guys 100% suck but sadly US cops threaten people for filming them constantly (including by pointing guns)

This would be the correct response but I think the problem is finding any cops that don't completely support this

Probably a tall order considering basically all cops are insane right-wing fascists, but what that ICE dude did had no law enforcement purpose and was unquestionably assault. Pritzker should be sending people to arrest him.

Yeah the right obviously hates Jewish people, they've just managed to agree that they hate Palestinians more

I guess it didn't help that Harris clearly didn't give a shit about winning

2024 was an exceptionally fucked election and I have a hard time casting blame on anyone's decision regarding voting for Harris or not.

But I think an important consideration here is that crappy Dem candidates, in addition to doing evil shit, appear to be highly vulnerable to losing to fascists

Senate Dems: This guy who's mainly known for using his position as governor to engage in corrupt self dealing to his shady coal company seems like a good candidate for .... Chair of the Senate Energy Committee

No wonder Dems can't get anyone to turn out to vote for them

Trump may have brought the game up a notch but Manchin will always be the OG for cartoonish levels of insane corruption

The filibuster serves a very important role in our government, which is to give Dems an excuse for not passing legislation that is popular with voters but disliked by wealthy Dem donors

Where? I'm not seeing them

I can't understand how you can say stoping Trump was of paramount importance and then in the next breath say that it's not important to figure out ways of getting more voters to turn out for candidates that oppose Trump.

I'm interested in stopping Trump and making the country better, not shaming people who didn't vote for Harris in 2024. I don't think our goals are aligned.

Let me ask you something: did telling people that they were helping to destroy the country if they didn't vote for Harris get you what you wanted in the 2024 election?

Serious question, can you give examples of these people?

As far as I can tell this person is much more interested in feeling morally superior than they are in figuring out how to win elections or make the country better

For someone who feels very strongly that it was bad that Trump won the 2024 election, you don't seem very interested in trying any ideas other than the ones that lost the 2024 election.

I remember when they ran over and killed a young woman and Bruce did literally nothing to try and prevent it from happening again.

This same contract reduces accountability for cops who drive recklessly, but I'm sure that could never be an issue...

Thanks for your incredible plan to push homeless people into the parts of the city that didn't vote for you 🤢🤮
