OUTSTANDING interview with @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social on @volts.wtf This is the ONE interview you got to listen to before voting in the Seattle Mayoral election.
The fact that Katie is attracting attention from such national leading lights is telling - she is special!

Reminder that, for at least a year before 10/7, the Biden administration was helping Israel sell 12 oil licenses for land/sea that belonged to Palestine at the time.
Theyβre all complicit. Every last one.

Ezra-
Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things.Β
What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populationsβtrans people, Black women, and moreβwho Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence.Β
When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.Β

i get that its probably more useful to say "its likely the shooter had no coherent ideology" than assert otherwise as speculation, but at some level you have to take note that even the president of the united states doesn't have a coherent political ideology

the very first person who spoke tacked on to the end of her comment "as for the cameras, i say better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them." everyone else was a strong "no" on surveillance with various strong arguments as to why

I'm sorry Congresswoman. You can't simultaneously declare your objection to sweeps while also endorsing a mayor in your own city who has aggressively swept your constituents and slow-walked any meaningful expansion of services. π€¦π½ββοΈ

i think bathroom cops for "the military" is disgusting enough, but remember they also want to βmonitor intimate spaces to ensure ongoing complianceβ & do βperiodic reporting to continuously evaluate & update intimate spaces" to "the whole USA."
