It embarrassing how easy WA makes it for us to vote and yet 86% of registered voters still have not voted. I grew up in Texas where Dems are now fleeing the state to protect their districts. Come on Washington!!

Wish more US journalists shared this spirit.

like I knew this shit was scammy and would've told you probably less than half the money you donate makes it to an actual campaign, but less than 2%?????? that is fucking outrageous

Millions of us wanted better than this for ourselves, and for everyone.

And all it took for the dominoes to fall was electing one Black President.

Well this makes me sad b/c the wind in Seattle has kept it so lovely this summer.

Guest Rant: Bruce Harrell Is a Failure Unfit for Office In this guest rant, contributor Ron Davis makes his case for why, with primary election ballots on the way, Seattle voters should dump the city's Mayor and former City Councilman Bruce Harrell.

As someone that always wants to go to Ballard and Fremont but hates driving and therefore doesn’t go, I am so excited for this.

Going to yell it again: when you give people a better transit option, most people will take it. Which will free up the roads with less traffic for those who still want to drive.

Jerks. Freakin’ jerks!!!

Gotta hand it to Sliwa: “slapping fannies and killing grannies” to describe Cuomo is pretty good.

It was illegal until 1982 because it’s straight up market manipulation.

Same in Texas. Neither of my parents smoked but in the 80s my mom would pull out this gorgeous blue glass ashtray and allow people to smoke in our house.

The thing to understand is that district court judges have to follow the law and Supreme Court Justices get to just make up the law.

B*t$h you from Michigan.

Spot. On.

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery

These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are *also* out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!

Mamdani hasn’t won yet. Wilson has a fight ahead of her in Seattle. But these results make it clear that a good progressive candidate stands a very good chance of taking on the establishment and winning. Especially when they run on housing.

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

All you're doing is telling the bully that his bullying is effective! That's not a braking mechanism—that just encourages him to bully more.

Good grief, if there's any people who ought to be able to tell POTUS, "fuck off, we're not afraid of you," it's NYC!
