I like people, places, and things. BLM.

ICE patrol cars spotted in Queen Anne, Tukwila, Auburn, and Kent. Things are getting really bad fast. Remind people that they have the right to deny a search of their homes, people, or cars unless they have a warrant signed by a judge.

WILL SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS????

Costco responded to shareholders requesting that it withdraw from DEI policies. The response was direct and to the point: Costco says, "Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect & inclusion is appropriate & necessary."

Uhm, a lot of people who voted for Trump

- Didn’t know we paid the tariffs
-Didn’t know ObamaCare was the ACA
-Didn’t know pre-existing conditions won’t be covered
-Didn’t know their child’s IEP will go away

Well done, mainstream media

Dems still wondering how Trump could have won: look at the response to this CEO murder. There is so much pain and fury at how fucked up things are. Harness that anger and say “I will change this,” you’re gonna win. Defend the system, you’re gonna keep fucking losing.

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there.

Biden should commute death penalty for 40 Americans on federal death row, cancel student debt via EO & force Trump to revive it, & protect abortion nationwide via EO. Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism!

Remember when the world found out Kenyans were being paid less than $2 an hour to “train” ChatGPT? An investigation now shows OpenAi agreed to pay higher - $12.50 an hour, and the outsourcing company “tricked” them to work as call center agents.

I'm gonna have to sit with this a minute. This is the effect of coordinated right-wing lies amplified across social media, podcasts, churches, school board meetings, crossfit gyms…

There is no place in the government with more power to implement Project 2025 than the Office of Management and Budget

12. Black. Men. Self. Immolated. In. Prison. And there is no media reporting on it.

"Kevin Rashid Johnson reports that Econ and his cellmate Trayvon Brown set themselves on fire hoping to escape the intolerable racism, abuse, and inhumane conditions they were subjected to."

Why are so many Democrats acting like Trump has a “mandate”? Obama and Dems had a landslide victory in 2008 and Republicans refused to work with him. McConnell made clear that allowing Obama any bipartisan achievements was bad politics.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

Sure, but also get your face in front of every TV camera and say “Why are we even considering a drug addled child trafficker for AG? What are the Republicans thinking???
My God, learn to play their game.

A thread about a messed up situation in Mississippi.

It's about state officials who voided direct democracy, & have refused to restore it.

And about about why you should care—right now—about something happening next week. ⬇️

[Robert Cruickshank @cruickshank]

It is definitely safe to say Democrats lost, and progressives share in that blame. But blue cities are hobbled by blue states who routinely deny blue cities the funding needed to solve problems, so that blue state Dems can keep the rich and big corporations happy.

[zinah𓂆 @zhal80]

Keep sharing this so everyone knows we had a life just like any other person on this earth...

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

I haven’t seen much compelling evidence that our takeaways from this loss should be anything other than:

1) People are pissed about higher prices

2) Dems need to rethink their voter communication channels

Almost anything else — including blaming identity politics — is reaching

Congress is working to pass a bill that would have a devastating, chilling effect on free speech and give the Trump administration power to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits without due process or even a clear explanation (1/3).
