lived in seattle five years today. love this city. it has its warts and bruises, but don’t we all. #seattle forgive the city juxtaposition but it’s how i feel youtu.be/pAFI7NYLI5Y?...

Nez Pierce dude Jordie from PDX demonstrating how the Yankee Doodle Feds ain't shit! American Indigenous Movement of Oregon. Chief Joseph lives.

this is pretty funny but also let’s keep in mind that cops do accidentally shoot each other much more often than you might think. in aggregate cops are just kind of bad at stuff

what the actual fuck

yeah, so, probably not *great* when foreign press starts openly comparing the US in 2025 to Yugoslavia in 1991 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

"...federal agents came to suspect that Bukele and members of his inner circle had diverted U.S. aid funds to [MS-13] as part of the alleged deal to provide it with money and power in exchange for votes and reduced homicide rates." what kind of evil is this now www.propublica.org/article/buke...

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

this milquetoast liberation theology is a start but it’s a day late and a dollar short. if leo wants to send a message he could place ICE members under interdict and excommunicate catholic members of the administration, including SCOTUS. no salvation for kidnappers

yes yes this is likely because harrell’s politics are not “democratic” they are “rich guy”

oh my god

In case you missed it (I did), What We Will Use As Weapons, quilt of school supplies teachers will use for defense in a school shooting--profound art and winner of MQG Best in Show 2024 www.quiltfolk.com/journal/one-...

worth noting: spd requires 720 hours at the academy and *generously* 880 hours overall before putting officers on the street. uh excuse me, but i think we should have job requirements for cops that are even half as strict as for social workers (3000 hours of supervised experience) #seattle #ugh

spoken like an old ass white dude who only knows the mlk that other old white dudes talk about. if only dr. king had said something like, "A riot is the language of the unheard... [America] has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met." wait shit

if anyone needs further confirmation that this administration is both pro-israel and antisemitic, here’s exec director pez dispenser at your service

contest every single race youtu.be/J8wMNLaSNW4?...

if you want to celebrate the anniversary of d-day by punching a fascist that’s just patriotism babayy #usa

*frantically looks up what happened to the mujahideen after the cold war ended* www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/m...

once again I must tap my own sign

to be fair the current administration might already be responsible for about 100x the death toll of 9/11 through funding cuts alone so... yeah. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...

one of these days we'll get around to investigating why so many of bruce harrell's appointees turn out to be absolute dogshit #seattle #oneseattle
