The @nytimes.com won't report it, but People will!

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

It's #2!

Yeah, that apparently was the league office. blacksportsonline.com/2026/10/poli...

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

A reminder that Bolsonaro’s father plotted to stay in power by poisoning Lula, assassinating the Vice President, and murdering a Supreme Court justice after losing his reelection bid. He is currently serving a 27 year prison sentence for his crimes. Any wonder why Trump is helping his son?

Well, if the A.I. is correct, I'm not at all surprised Marissa Mayer had trouble recognizing empathy.

Hungary, Serbia, and now Brazil. The United States is next. You fascists are bound to lose.

Elections with two candidates and one of them is a fascist should not be so fucking close! We have a lot of work to do to alter the conditions driving this. Can't see how we get out of this hole without a massive assault on wealth inequality and a ban on big money in politics.

I might cut this at him stunned, lying, and then stammering. Then run it in an ad targeted at MAGA. Why won't Florida Mike stand with President Trump? Rogers lost in 2024 because he lost far more of the Trump vote than John James did in 2020.

Come on, Brazil!

Met some absolute fucking nazi cowards in Burien today. Real “I got rejected from the police for academic reasons” energy. May they get what they deserve. Be safe out there, friends.

Supporters of Washington's I-638 tell voters it will "protect fairness in girls' sports." What it actually does is put a costly, invasive medical check in front of every family whose daughter wants to play on a girls' school team. Boys' teams have no such requirement.

As the article makes clear, the answer is indisputably "No," and they could've just put that in the headline like we were taught to do in high school, but why inform readers when you can turn journalism into clickbait?

SCOOP: AIPAC is routing millions of dollars using other groups’ names - including groups promoting women, reproductive rights, and Latino candidates. Its super PAC has sent $13.1M to other groups this cycle. The ads never carried AIPAC’s name.

Time for a quick refresher on Susan Collins and Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford. First some context: Trump nominated Kav 7/9/18 and pro-choice groups warned he'd kill Roe -- which Collins had vowed to protect. But on 8/31 HuffPo reported she'd already secretly approved him. #MEpolitics

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

NINE FUCKING YEARS AND NO JUSTICE "....Fair was arrested and spent the next nine years in jail due to legal delays and police and prosecutors’ attempts to strengthen their case against him, which was almost purely circumstantial, according to court documents." www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Millionaires Tax Means Local Magnate Can Only Afford One of Seattle’s New Waterfront Car Condos: tinyurl.com/54xb6te

They will *absolutely* be drawn to the spotlight of a congressional hearing and freely shout all of the insane shit that their political associates would rather keep quiet about.

This Day in Labor History: October 22, 1945. Workers in the Charleston, South Carolina tobacco factories walked off the job. Let's talk multiracial unionism in the post-WWII South!

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

Lefty Cheat Sheet aggregates campaign finance info for each race! Take a look at how Super PACs are trying to influence state legislative races in Seattle 👀 leftycheatsheet.org#e=20261103&r...

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

CivicTide wishes it could generate even 10% of the buzz electioncheatsheet.org is generating. Btw I used ECS to help me fill out my ballot and it is by far the best progressive Seattle and Washington voter guide out there.

If we "know" there are crimes being committed in RVs, prosecute the crimes. Don't criminalize survival. Crimes happen in single family homes and apartments, too. Should we outlaw those? The right wing of the Seattle City Council has lost their damn minds.

Whatever happened to carob?

Share the Cities built Lefty Cheat Sheet to better inform Seattle voters of the range of endorsing organizations that exist beyond our two major newspapers. It was built with us and our own communities in mind, and then shared with everyone to use and to customize. leftycheatsheet.org/about.html

A-mazing. Gosh, this is wonderful.

Political action committees are required to disclose their donors; Nelson set up Seafor explicitly to raise money for "pragmatic" city candidates and promised anonymity to donors. You can't conceal campaign donors' identities by creating pass-through nonprofits. publicola.com/2026/10/16/c...

Larry David was always a dumb racist, in a particularly New York City kind of way. Seinfeld made that clear many years ago.

Marx and Engels are in the afterlife, wondering why they had to die before 2026 www.ft.com/content/1a93...

Sometimes I still actually wonder if I could possibly be in some kind of unconscious state, just dreaming it all.

Dan Strauss, the forever-waffling Seattle City Council member, is desperately trying to revive his sagging political career by attacking people who are trying to survive by living in RVs. His bill provides no solutions. It's pure demagoguery.

Reminder Seattle, ballots are out and leftycheatsheet.org will tell you who endorsed who so you can see if your fav org has a blind spot

Here’s the ad that has Florida Republicans going the prior-restraint route. (The details of the grand-jury report have been widely known and shared for 2 months.)

if you were wondering whether Alito's book is an embarrassing crock of shit, I can now officially answer your question with a resounding yes ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

It does no test. It checks no chemistry. It just looks at your face and makes a statistical guess based on a database of images. That's not medicine. It's gambling.

This is not a knock on Pritzker, but having to depend on billionaires is an indicator that you have a fucked up, anti-democratic political system.

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

You can hope if you want... but you MUST act! If you're not opposed to electoral work in principle, this is the time to text, call, postcard, doorknock for a candidate whose victory could help strip the Republicans of their majority. 2026.indivisible.org

"As a piece of writing, the rambling and often contradictory manifesto has the pathos of the Unabomber manifesto but lacks the ideological coherency."

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.
