So, etiquette question: I was biking to Drinking Liberally and it was dark out. It was still a bit crowded on the bike lane. I was behind someone with their light turned off. Should I have said something?
Anyway…
- ICE is not welcome in Seattle. And they are going to have a hard time getting convictions.
- A proper parole system would be better, but I do like Rep. Tarra Simmons’s bill to let prisoners petition for early release if a judge finds that they are no longer a threat to their community.
- If you’re on Bluesky, Representative Julia Reed has some good informative threads about the legislature.
Remember how on Monday I said that you could contact your legislators? Great news, you can do it today!

See this? This is my shocked face.
Wired has received documents indicating the Trump administration questioned if Tren de Aragua was operating on ANY organized level in the United States throughout 2025.
Dumbfuck os BIG into Enten.

Trump’s net approval in February of 2025 was +10. It’s a drop of 42 points to -32. My goodness gracious.
This will make it hard for him to be re-elected.
My goodness gracious.
Where are your papers!
As far as the GOP, Fat Hitler is the whole brand. And very intentionally so.
That cannot be said about any other Democrat, no matter how hard insecure incels try. And it certainly makes a big difference for the party that is positioned in opposition to Fat Hitler.
@3
Would you like a list of GOP Senators whonget to defend that guy until November? There’s 22 of them.

Trump has just fallen off a cliff when it comes to Gen Z.
Not all of them. Just the Ovarios:
Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Rises With Young Men
Male voters, especially young men, played a decisive role in Trump’s 2024 victory…
The President has enjoyed an uptick in support among young Gen Z voters over the course of three YouGov polls, his approval rising by 4 percentage points from 26 percent to 30 percent, and his disapproval numbers falling by 7 points from 69 percent to 62 percent.
CBS News is reporting 12,000 dead in Iran.
HA libbies don’t care because none of them are Palestinian women and children who just happened to be holding an AK-style weapon when they bought it.
Today we learn the California protester a DHS agent pointed a weapon at and fired a pepper spray projectile in his fave at point blank range is permanently blind in one eye.
Noem bought the taxpayer a settlement AND a lifetime of disability payments.
@7
Didn’t read the article again?
30%.
Still no interview with the dude who claimed to be a doctor when the lesbian poet domestic terrorist bought it.
I wonder why not.
Don’t call me a Nazi, you’re hurting my feelings and instigating.

Liberals immediately cast doubt on the reported figures, noting that traditionally they only trust the Palestinian Information Ministry’s reporting of casualty numbers.
Now do Africa. You know, it is that continent with a bunch of spooks.
Kristy gives Bari Weiss an exclusive.
Makes sense. Getting not hit by a car travelling traveling 3-5 mile per hour while murdering the driver can case an ulcer to flare up.
12,000 dead gave Bovino an erection.

So two US Officials have a grasp if HIPAA and leaked medical records?
Mythology. Lying to support feels. Trump percentage among young males in terms of share was unexpected. But Trump turnout among them essentially was unchanged. Young males inclined to vote for Harris declined to vote. Many/most were not even aware that she was the Dem candidate.
In terms of the electorate the GOP is actually incredibly weak and vulnerable right now thanks mostly to Trump. But they control all three branches of the federal government and they are obviously unafraid to use that power in whatever way suits them including many ways that are nakedly unlawful. The conduct of elections continues to be vested in the states by law. And the potential for a shift in both affiliation and turnout could upend the GOP control over the government very quickly.
I suspect that much of the innaction among Dem leadership is out of a sense of fear that by doing anything they might reverse what are for them very positive trends. But I do not think the Democratic leadership is doing nearly enough at the state level to protect the integrity of elections.
And this is the best they can come up with now.
The MAGASTAPO is carrying out armed slave-catcher patrols without even administrative warrants, breaking into homes, breaking into cars, breaking into businesses and schools and just grabbing the first vulnerable looking non-white they see. DOJ has already determined ahead of any kind of investigation, that they will not do anything about the murder, prompting a wave of mass resignations. So why would this physician put himself, his family, and his career at risk by volunteering to feed a media frenzy?
He identified himself as a physician willing to provide life saving treatment at the scene and the MAGASTAPO agents controlling the scene threatened him with arrest to prevent it. They blocked the scene with their vehicles forcing the EMTs to walk from blocks away. We all saw it. It’s on record as a fact.
Why do you suppose it is so important for MAGA white supremacists to learn his identity? Hockey sticks, fire extinguishers, and fire bombs come to mind.
