How is evidence of Trump being "in on" a "CONSPIRACY TO ABUSE AND TRAFFIC WOMEN," WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN, not screaming front-page news everywhere?? NEW, CREDIBLE RAPE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST TRUMP. TODD BLANCHE WITNESS TAMPERING. WHAT.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

That's our mayor.

Not entirely sure I wanted the former Seattle Pilots to win the World Series before the current Seattle Mariners do, but it looks like we won’t have a choice in the matter

Racist and eugenicist asshat. Cannot wait for his turn in the dock at the ICC.

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

Great wheel pumpkin 🎃 in #Seattle

The millionaires tax can help backfill some of this and keep our hospitals open.

You absolutely love to see this

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Excellent new site listing out myths and facts about the three statewide MAGA initiatives to roll back trans rights and repeal the millionaires tax. Vote NO on all three!

Washington's I-638 would ban trans girls from participating in girls sports. If it passes, all girls who want to participate in K-12 girls' sports would need to submit a statement from their health care provider verifying what the initiative calls their "biological sex." #waleg #waelex

Even though these are national and global layoffs, one should read its timing as Microsoft’s effort to stop WA’s millionaires tax, as right-wingers will blame that tax for these layoffs despite there being no actual connection.

How is this even a question? The US auto industry is going to die if it does not convert to EVs, it will simply become uncompetitive. Americans are suffering from high gas prices and need ways to afford EVs. If Dems hold back, they'll be cooked too come 2028.

People think that IZ requirements force developers to take lower profit margins. In reality, developers have to deliver competitive returns to investors so IZ means nothing gets built until market rate rents are high enough to cover development costs *and* the necessary cross subsidy for BMR units.

Wise advice here, especially the CA recommendations

We have a lot of work to do to get more housing built. #waleg has passed some good bills, but especially with high interest rates, a lot more from them is needed to clear out zoning and permitting hurdles, and to stop NIMBYs from blocking new infill housing.

Y'all in the past two years, Texas closed 170 public schools and the state MIGHT GO BLUE OVER IT.

WA Democrats are accusing a Republican-backed PAC of using AI in a campaign ad without the disclosure required by law

Come on D5! I voted for Nilu Jenks this afternoon. Now you go!

Pretty wild to see Seattle Public Schools superintendent Ben Shuldiner invoke MLK to justify closing 10 schools as "the moral thing to do." His email did not make a data or research case for closures. SPS enrollment has shrunk in recent years, but the overall number of school-age children has grown.

Another excellent election result tonight! The forces of democracy triumph again over fascism. More inspiration for us in the US for next week’s election!

Omfg. This is horrible. That kid is so good! The next Mbappé right there. And they called the cops on him!

An absolutely joyous moment - and an inspiration to us all here in the US

The WA GOP is pushing sprawl hard. Meanwhile tree people in Seattle enable that sprawl by blocking infill housing - even though sprawl is *far* more destructive to forests, rivers, and thus to the salmon and the orcas that depend on the salmon.

Sorry, since when do state agencies just get to decide a section of RCW is unconstitutional and stop enforcing it?!?

It's telling that the only pro-AI "learning" comments on this article are from people who still strongly identify with being called "gifted" as children, like the guy who claimed to have "worked out a deal" with his teachers that he could ignore their lessons and read because he was so smart

Vote NO on I-638 (and its twin I-001, and its sibling I-645 - the MAGA attack on Washington State)

Yes. It was a highlight of trips to the computer lab in elementary school in the late 1980s.

I found no real way to integrate it into the learning process without it invading and suffocating other parts of the learning process. My observation was that students who frequently used it exhibited lower self-esteem, resiliency, and creativity than their peers who didn’t use it.

As someone who tried to be an early adopter of AI in the classroom because I thought it would make me a forward thinking and innovative educator preparing students for the future, I can’t express to you how much I’ve backed away from it in recent years in my classroom because of varied concerns.

When they’re right, they’re right: Seattle Times correctly tells voters to use a dropbox, not the US Mail, if they’re voting in the general election

conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Sorry everyone. I thought I’d turn on the Sounders match a few minutes ago. I jinxed it.

As I was saying. A total catastrophe for our friends north of the border.

"If [I-638] were to pass, my daughters would have to go through an invasive genital exam just to play sports," says Seattle School Board member Joe Mizrahi. The Seattle School Board has passed resolutions strongly opposing I-638 and I-001. Vote NO on I-638 and I-001. #NoHateWAState

Former PDC chair David Ammons says he is “perplexed” by the PDC’s ruling and points out an agency shouldn’t concede in advance but should defend the law unless directly ordered to do something else by a court www.facebook.com/share/14vL2V...
