We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

The idea that political violence has anything to do with partisanship is foolish. Nearly every major incident of political violence over the past decade has originated from the far-right. If it was partisanship alone, we'd see wine moms taking shots at MTG and Johnson but that never happens.

just tweet after tweet of this conspiratorial nonsense

Political violence is always unacceptable. This is a horrifying day for Minnesota, and a sad day for America. What has occurred is a direct attack on our American values and democracy.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

you're telling me they milked a muscle

At some point we gotta start arrest ICE agents for kidnapping

Oh my God so many people are breaking the law! We better stop enforcing the law!

turns out he was in a taped off area he wasn’t supposed to be, they briefly detained him and he was quickly released, a pretty simple mistake. it *is* why you don’t deploy the military to do this, but *is not* the entrance to the cool zone.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

I keep coming back to this but I do think we are slowly entering a stage in world politics where lowercase d democrats are going to have to do increasingly undemocratic things to maintain the very concept of civil society

People on this website really say "liberal" withe same sneering tone of Rush Limbaugh and I think it would reward them to reflect on that fact and what it might imply more broadly.

This is a team sport, so I hesitate to take credit for anything, but I am claiming ownership of the initial popularization of the idea that Seattle’s Design Review Process Is an Absolute Farce™. I’m glad this fucked up program is going to be buried in a shallow grave.

he'd be in prison if not for the war in gaza. i'm not up to date on the latest of his trial but for over a year after it was moving at a snails pace with court dates and deadlines kept getting extensions

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

shoutout to every idiot who believed that trump would "end the wars"

As the Middle East devolves into regional war, remember, this is literally Trump's fault. He's the single person who decided to end the Iran Nuclear deal and if he hadn't there wouldn't be war.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

mike johnson desperately wants to be a supplicant to a king

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way: "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

Joint statement from myself, King County Executive Shannon Braddock, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello and Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards: We condemn President Trump’s illegal activation of California National Guard forces over the objections of California’s governor.

It remains so funny to me how many people who claim to be socialists thought the Biden Administration was a disaster for the working class when the objective truth is it was a disaster for the bosses.

Good news out of Seattle, where the Link light rail registered its highest-ever ridership in May as the 2-line got extended to Downtown Redmond. Ridership is up more than 20% compared to last May!

I absolutely cannot WAIT for European soccer babies to show ICE what an actual riot looks like after their team wins\loses\ties

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

"Given power by the social democrats" tankie Weimar historiography never ceases to amaze me

"Trump declares intention to openly break Congressionally-enacted valid law in order to honor white supremacy." Sums it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

The most terminal O-4 of all time

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

If Norway has one fan, it’s me If Norway has a million fans, I’m one of them If Norway has no fans, I’m temporarily unavailable after a Russian aerial attack If the world is against Norway, I’m against the world Till my last breath, I support Norway

Bellevue's council was one vote away from retaining a stronger middle housing code tonight, and five councilmembers are up for reelection this fall in case you're wondering what the stakes are.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

tappers coworker was detained by ice in the middle of a live hit last night and this is what hes concerned with

Standing up for immigrants means not freaking out when an immigrant celebrates their country of origin

Genuinely funny that some leftists will argue this attitude stems from a decline in material conditions and not the decadence of middle class America
