Seriously, why would anyone come here to watch the World Cup this month? In West Seattle today

Can we please go back to a time before all the nerd guys were on steroids?

Trans day of leave me the hell alone

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

They couldn’t pull off regime change in Minneapolis so they decided to go for Iran.

Weird to say Americans don’t have a culture when THE SUPERBOWL just happened.

"Employees are going absolutely apeshit in internal Slack about how completely awful it was."

TIL it’s a hanging offense to bring reporters to a protest but totally okay to set things on fire.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

If trump was truly dear leader he could have had the CIA make a new set of epstine files by now. I doubt they would have accidentally left the metadata in those videos either.

So in the end we learned that the New York Times was just another brand, like axe body spray.

The wild thing is that all it would take for Elon Musk to be beloved is to use his money to help people. Send a thousand kids to college. Buy up and cancel a billion in medical debt. It’s that simple.

Thinking of all the HS football players who got heatstroke from summer practice. They put in new rules after a kid died. But idk his resting heart rate.

I swear some of y’all would see a woman crying because she was robbed and call her mentally ill because she only lost, what, fifty dollars?

Like how there are two genders: male and "political". Two races: white and "political". Two orientations: straight and "political".

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Can all the NYC mayoral candidates PLEASE have a sitcom when all this is over?

This is, incidentally, why fiction works. If something seems to be talking to us our brains REALLY want to believe it’s a person.

I want to live in a generous society. One where we build palatial libraries and take care of our people. Where we build a whole freaking city next to our city so we can host a world’s fair.

Very proud of my daughter @teenhorrorcast.com building her first bioreactor! She'll finish high school with some amazing experience. I spend every day being angry at the defunding of science and attempts to roll back progress of women in science but #girlsinstem are here to stay.

My colleagues’ trips to El Salvador serve as a forceful reminder that due process is a founding principle of American democracy. We are a nation that believes in the rule of law. (1/2)

The doomposting on here has reached insane levels. All of you are listening to insane megalomaniacs Sephiroth post and ramble about their plans to destroy us all; meanwhile, the Sephiroth posting fascists are failing to implement plans they got from a chatbot and getting robbed of mysterious cash

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

Donald Trump chickening down from tariffs in February only to actually go right ahead and bring them back in March - a week before the budget negotiations - it really makes me revisit my "what would I be doing differently if I were sent by God to torch and discredit American fascism for 100 years?"

Congress in DC is being barraged with correspondence - a good thing, keep it up! But Olympia is usually much quieter. Your state legislators notice when you care, and sometimes even respond to you themselves. Here's today's state leg actions: seattleindivisible.com/daily-action...

Please help spread the word - this is today in DC www.mobilize.us/moveon/event... This is Wednesday in all 50 states and DC www.newsweek.com/50-states-an...

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes. Right fucking now! How is this even a discussion?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

All I’m saying is that if Joe Biden had fired 100 FAA employees and a plane had crashed just 24 hours later, Jesse Watters’ head would’ve exploded and Janine would have hosted an all-day wine drinking “Blame Joe” special episode.

BREAKING: Donald Trump backed down again. His mandate is already falling apart.

H.R. 9495 (the bill that would give Trump unchecked power to go after his political opponents) has moved to the Senate after being passed by the House. Since Democrats still control the Senate, the real risk is that the bill gets attached to another piece of must-pass legislation.
