@stevemur Taxes aren't the only thing that drives behavior. As you have pointed out there are many factors at play. The ineffectiveness of the uses of those taxes, the general law and order situation in our state, the general trend in politics toward anger/resentment
@sfmcguire79 Check out the “mostly peaceful” protest article in @seattletimes today + behold the latest example of why no one buys the press narratives anymore. Peanut butter on the permissiveness of the King County prosecutor and the judiciary and you’ve got the shit sandwich that is Seattle
@mtracey@JoeBiden@SpeakerJohnson Why is it so binary for you @mtracey? No one is disputing that some of these demonstrators have pure motives. But the evidence is stacking up that the chalice is poisoned, inside and outside campus. https://t.co/LJSCcscvWL
A young Jewish woman was beaten unconscious by pro-Hamas students at the UCLA campus in California today.
Will mainstream media tell their viewers and readers about it? Or do we have to do all the work here on X?

@PramilaJayapal Saving democracy by making the Democratic gubernatorial candidates pay bribes to the party in return for an endorsement? Or your candidate refusing to debate? Or refusing to concede elections like in GA? Or maybe donating to election deniers? Which one works best for democracy?
@PramilaJayapal You joined MTG and a bunch of other right wing Trumpers along with posers. You know darn well that this is money for missile defense & Gazan relief and that 90% of Israelis support this existential war. You are trading on tropes and stupidity. We won't forget. Shame on you.
The Italian writer, pacifist and activist Vittorio Arrigoni moved to Gaza to support Palestinians then he was kidnapped and murdered by MusIims that considered him infidel!
As a Ukrainian person looking at everything that’s been happening in the world lately, here’s what I really, REALLY need people living in liberal democracies to understand as soon as possible.
This isn’t a pleasant conversation.
A thread.

@RepJayapal@RepCori@RepRashida Once again you show why you are not fit to represent the animal shelter in Ballard never mind a congressional district. At best you are naive. At worst you are a tool of terrorists. As your constituent, I will be working hard to see you replaced in November.
@RepJayapal As your constituent I will be voting against you and working to see you replaced. You got the benefit of the doubt nodding along as your so-called progressive buddy @Ilhan spouted “all about the Benjamin’s.” Instead of being a stand for human rights you’re a bigot. We see you.
@ELALUSA@EL_AL_AIRLINES This phone number is for the servicing of tickets only. Don't wait on hold for an hour to discover that they have no access to customer care information and cannot help you. Again a #customerservicefail from @ELALUSA
Hey @EL_AL_AIRLINES@ELALUSA , disappointed with the way you handled my cancelled flight. I was told it wasn't cxl and you tried to charge to change flights. Later, it was too late. Had to spend the night @ my expense. No responses to my inquiries. Even flying premium #fail
@bluerafters @PensionCraft@PensionCraft Great explainer. Thank you. You make very clear the impact of the UK budget on the situation. But why it is OK for the hedge funds and pension managers to be using potentially volatile hedges to boost returns on what pensioners think of as "safe" investments?
@emilymiskel Remote voir dire offers a chance to better the process (not only respond to C19 ). It can increase the efficiency for the prospective juror, allow for better workflow for the judge and litigants and lead to juries that look more like our communities.
