It’s funny how black people are expected to reach across the aisle to voters like these, while no one ever expects them to reach across the aisle to black people. Amazing who gets to be human, and who doesn’t.

every tale of adventure could be improved by 1 to 7 gay sex scenes

Why would there be fewer non-binary people being candid about their identity in 2025

No time for being human there are contracts to fulfill

It’s almost like billionaires and strong vibrant institutions of civil society can’t coexist

We're all in this together (hell)

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training. FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I keep saying it but its true, I live in the UK, we elected our "liberal" party who said iffy things on trans rights

They've now gone full blown fascist on us and are working on a full blown social ban

American trans people being weary of the Dems is valid
We've seen it happen

Netflix Stock Up As Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Boycott Fails To Materialize Last week, conservatives tried to cancel Netflix to force the carrier to remove transgender characters.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

City Paid Consultant Tim Ceis $280,000 to "Encourage Agreement" and Build "Community Consensus" for Harrell's Light Rail Route - PubliCola By Erica C. Barnett The city of Seattle spent $280,000 over the past year paying longtime local consultant Tim Ceis—a…

I think the harrell story that broke me was when he hired his friend tim ceis to the tune of $280,000 (just under the 285k limit that would require a public bid for the work) astroturf opposition to a CID station with actually good connections to other transit

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles

I keep misreading it as The Steam Autism Sale

Text of the fourth amendment “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too.

Sorry, but fuck that.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

You might want to look up University of Washington psych class Nazi salute if you're looking to remember that we outnumber them.

Our neighbor came over to see if we had lost power too, and I had to check our solar panel app to see if we were actually off the grid. We are, we just didn't notice because of the panels and our battery backup.

“This is not the time for hope” will live in Seattle political infamy.

I live near this stop. It is the way I plan to get to downtown or Seattle Center. I was not asked before the lane was deleted. Process for me but not for thee.
