The Washington Post trying to frame this as anything other than a massive failure is so pathetic. How did the organizers of this parade manage to make the mightiest military in the world look so toothless? Why is the paper who broke the Washington Post amplifying hollow propaganda? Shameful.

Timely perspective and wisdom from Rebecca Solnit. "I believe ardently that nonviolent resistance is ... the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will and they'll lie and distort no matter what." 💯

Excited to announce that Pramila Jayapal will be our featured speaker at the Rally before the JUNE 14th - Seattle NO KINGS MARCH. #nokings #DefendDemocracy #FightAuthoritarians #NoFascism

I see we have another G Line fan running for mayor! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

Exactly! I keep hearing "wow, the two parties are so polarized, they're just on opposite ends of the political spectrum" NO! They're both beholden to billionaires and nobody is on the side of normal people. The Republicans are just better at convincing people they're on their side.

People can be capable of great kindness.

Won't stop until we make the oligarchs pay. #teslatakedown

Government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.

Buying a home next to a well-known nude park (in a city that doesn't ban public nudity), and then getting mad that people are naked in the park, has to be the dumbest unforced error ever.

God forbid the Democrats do *anything at all*. They're really trying to just hide until this goes away, aren't they?

excited about TIME today. it is so nice to end up in place where CHANGE exists. how lucky it is to have a say in the path of existence WHAT AN HONOR. overwhelmed with gratitude that the universe chats with us and negotiates in this way

US leaders keep saying we need to compete with China, but refuse to invest in the structures that would let us do that.

Yes! Hit them in the wallet. Don't let the oligarchs steal our money.

Good.

Liz Cheney didn't actually write this, but it's still important. Pramila Jayapal is doing a couple of these, but why aren't Democrats doing more?

man if only we could have known that electing one of the dumbest, meanest and most corrupt motherfuckers in American history A SECOND TIME would end badly

ALERT ALERT ALERT MURDERBOT TRAILER THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Everyone gasping "but don't they understand what this will do?!": yes. They do.

An absolute must-read. David brilliantly weaves it all together. "The goal isn’t prosperity—it’s obedience."

we could have had the smart Black lady

Good morning to almost everyone, and especially anyone going Hands Off today.
