How are we meant to reconcile this with record high minority voting for Trump? I guess I’ll believe it when I see it.

Until you prove that it can be done by an LLM, then they’d fire you.

I don’t think Cascadia will suddenly succeed into a sovereign nation, but I do think that steps like this are good, and that one of the best case scenarios is a gradual weakening of centralized federal power, and rise of regional power.

Crap maybe I should Google that. I have no idea what I wear. I just go to the closet and count myself lucky to be fully clothed when I come out.

What process led to this incredibly stupid take getting written and published when you could just not? At best it’s a completely incoherent criticism of “wokeness” and lying to suit your narrative.

Seattle had a huge turnout in multiple events. Felt good but also, y’know, the pervasive undercurrent of despair and woe.

Protesters in front of the Public Market Center sign.

Ended at Pike St Market!

Pretty good organizing. This is the “main” Seattle event. There are bicycle corkers, a set route, water and snacks being handed out.

Thousands of protesters in downtown Seattle.

Ahead and behind.

Vibes are chill. Weather is good. There are tons of clever signs, kids and grandmas, chants and cheers and horns, all the good bits.

Turning onto Pine. Thank God someone’s in charge 😄

“Small sign, Big Mad” is my favorite so far.

“No Kings,” of course, but I’m letting the typo stand. :)

At the Mo Kings marvh on 5th Ave, downtown Seattle! Went with friends for whom it’s their first protest ever. Hard to say how many people are here. Many thousands just around me. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear there are over 100k people here.

Apparently the International Court of Justice is “intellectually unserious” but maybe they should apologize to @preetbharara.bsky.social’s guest for accusing Israel of genocide so offensively. He seems to find the infant corpses left to decompose in the NICU fine.

Nazi Germany had to be bombed flat and millions die in order for the Nuremberg trials to happen, and even then the vast majority of Nazis just… went back to work after the war, many in the same jobs. We will need to do a lot more than just trials.

All the "this is just a distraction" posts are just failures to look at the whole picture.

…How ironic is this share?

I’m at least two of those 😄

Way too many white supremacists in the military would be all for killing “antifa” or just brown people.

The hate speech is at a wayyy lower level on Bluesky so I think I’m sticking around here

I’ve spent cumulative years in much less nice shipping containers & it was fine but I also didn’t have to share it with 7 other people & my captors in transit to a gulag or war zone.

Spanish has consistently been one of the most useful things I learned in high school and university. It’s been a primary or supplementary skill in nearly every job I’ve had.

I don’t think guard or military would panic fire, but I do think it is completely possible to manufacture enough consent that they would see it reasonable & legal to fire into a crowd. Designating antifa as terrorists, invoking the insurrection act, but taken further.

I 0% believed GWB but I fully believe Elon is dumb enough to voluntarily get punched in the face.

At the time I thought GWB was back on the sauce.

Typical earthling bias. Sadly, I’m forced to agree.

Counterprotesters were triumphant as rally goers & SPD left at the end of the night but I don’t think the counterprotest affected when mayday or SPD departed. Maybe it made loading trucks slightly slower. It was still brave as fuck to face down armed SPD & (probably) armed right wing hate.

I can’t know the family’s thoughts but if I somehow learned that they’d planned to be provocative with their kids there it would match what I saw. It was an ugly scene. SPD barging in and making it physical (from what I could see about 50’ away) made it way worse.

Several in the crowd literally threw themselves between the family & the rest of the counterprotesters. The dad still got in a very heated shouting match, holding his two kids in front of him.
