“We did not arrive here by accident. We arrived here by acquiescence. Each transgression that went unanswered taught this president one lesson: that there are no consequences.”

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Great screenshot! I was excited to see you on there!

The Pentagon broke off its partnership with an AI company because the AI company didn’t think it should create the conditions for the Terminator universe if I understand correctly

Great job by everybody who let their state reps know a $550M tax break for the biggest corporations in the world shouldn’t have been part of an historic income tax bill.

Most of those people aren't aware Larry Ellison ALSO just took a big ownership stake in TikTok (alongside technofascist Mark Andreessen and right wing propagandist Rupert Murdoch)

this attack (and that's what it is) isn't just about CNN, it's about Twitter, Tiktok, CBS, CNN, Facebook WAPO, etc. etc

Cantwell. Again.

"Unity means little if it requires forced compliance, forced laughter, or ignoring an insult to others to let yourself be elevated."

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

I’m so tired

ICYMI it yesterday, I wrote about the head of the Seattle civil rights department, whose staff have accused him of a litany of civil rights violations. Their union, PROTEC17, sent a detailed memo asking Mayor Katie Wilson to remove him in December.

Right?!

I’m curious about that hiring process. Did their due diligence not uncover this information? Did they know and not care?

Seattle Library Workers Raise Alarm About Security Crackdown Hitting Homeless People

“…a new enforcement crackdown led by the Seattle Public Library’s new head of security is turning librarians into part-time cops, and they’re not happy about it.”

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.
