NOT. SWIM GOGGLES. Friends. Do not wear swim goggles at a protest. If you take a projectile to the face the force can pop your eyeball out of its socket. If you're going to invest in protest eyewear, use impact resistant safety goggles and tape the vents.

Urgent update from the tree sitter: #washingtonstate #pnw

AGAIN #MGPisGOP is trying to be "bipartisan" by supporting Trump and his jackboot policies. The policies are wrong and flat out illegal. @gluesenkampperez.house.gov has shown she is unwilling to be a Democrat and vote for what is right and stand with peoples rights to due process of the law.

Hey wild thought what if we tried talking about the bad things the Republicans are doing instead of immediately pivoting to why those bad things show that in fact the Democrats are bad

So much of “gender affirming care” is COUNSELING — counseling that literally saves lives. And Republicans want to get in the way of that care and not let parents and children make their own private decisions. Absolutely outrageous.

Schumer stopped the Senate to announce that this happened, in the middle of debate on a bill where Democrats were collaborating with Republicans on crypto legislation. How you can compartmentalize these two things is beyond me.

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

US Senator Alex Padilla of California illegally removed by Trump regime thugs for questioning the regime. The regime thugs then tried to stop recording of the repression in an attempt to cover it up. #3E #EndImpunity

Incredibly disappointing and unnecessary. We had a plan to tax the rich and @governorferguson.bsky.social killed it. These job losses are on his hands. He chose the wealthy instead of working people. Maybe @wadems.org should remind him what party he is in. Hold him accountable.

This is incredibly disappointing. The party does not make itself stronger by protecting members from primary challenges. This is a slap in the face to young members of the Democratic party and those who are seeking much needed change.

The New York Times headline writers now call groups like the AMA and the College of Physicians and Surgeons "pro-vaccine groups." They get more preposterous with each passing day.

In California, transportation investments are judged based on whether they increase or decrease vehicle miles traveled (VMT). In Washington, SEPA analysis uses harmful and voodoo-ish metrics like level of service (LOS). #waleg should require WSDOT and local jurisdictions to use VMT instead.

Trump deployed forces against American citizens to chill dissent, spark confrontation, and create an excuse to seize even more power. We won’t back down, but we need to be prepared to handle encounters with law enforcement and de-escalate tense situations.

Stand back. Rescind this illegal, and immoral order. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States with their own military— Act like the Commander-in-Chief. If you want to be president, at least try to play the part. Fake it, if nothing else. Stand back— We’ll clean up your mess.

The solution is for the governor—the rightful commander of the California National Guard—to countermand this illegal order. Force the issue.

Trump’s HHS is canceling a contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, even as the disease continues to spread through dairy cows across the U.S. Make no mistake: delaying the development of this vaccine puts people’s lives at risk.

vocal opposition to democratic gerontocracy is nifty because it serves a constructive purpose — passing the torch — and a political one: signaling independence from The Democrats.

NEW: 500+ have signed a petition demanding the City permit Aug 30 hate rally for Magnuson Park, not Cal Anderson. Honestly, a former military base seems a much more appropriate venue for the fascists than the CHOP/CHAZ block of the gayborhood. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/new-pet...
