Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

Wow pretty weird that Elon Musk would hire a guy with a long history of big-ticket fraud to be the payments processor for SpaceX, probably just a coincidence and doesn't raise any red flags about their business!

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer* i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate. “kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

The NYC council voting for this downgrade was just such an own goal.

I made an interactive map comparing five minute walks to transit stops (green) with Seattle's plans to allow more housing (brown/orange). You can explore the map and read my op-ed in @theurbanist.org: www.theurbanist.org/2025/04/19/m...

Saw an 8:30 performance at Benaroya, and I cannot overstate how much I love the G line.

in these dire times i present to you HE'S GOING OVER THAT CLIFF in full hd

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

wait is he just talking about Elon

there's so many layers of fraud and abuse in this story that "someone might have been trying to log into the NLRB's systems with a valid Doge username and password from russia" doesn't even make it into the first 5,000 words

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

Dems voting for the SAVE Act is the bleakest shit. Irredeemable people. Where is the House leadership?

Worth noting that this passed by one vote and two Democratic congresspeople have died in office in the last six weeks.

A bunch of folks showed up to the Bothell City Council tonight to speak against a potential resolution affirming Bothell as a welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ people. Here was Bothell Mayor Mason Thompson's response.

To be fair, one man technically does not have this kind of power; he has it only because he has the support of an entire political party and its movement

New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home. Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

Hate to be millennial about it all but it is just mental that my whole working life has just been a series of recessions and “economic shocks”, underpinned by stagnant wages

+ Raise tariffs to tank stock prices + Make CEOs come to court to bend the knee to the Mad King + Insiders who know which industries / companies will get exemptions buy up stocks at depressed prices = Trumpist fascists getting very rich very quickly

So much credit to this man. But I still can’t get over them immediately returning to unanimous consent to confirm nominees even after learning the GOP is going to ignore the parliamentarian. It’s so emblematic of the lack of coherent strategy.

I keep saying there's a massive opportunity for any institution that loudly and proudly tells Trump to eat shit and I think that will only become more obvious with time
