This story just got even worse: Firefighters question leaders’ role in Washington immigration raid Wildfire veterans believe top officials on the fire sent their crews into an ambush
Hoooo boy 😡
I live in Rep Gerald nadler’s district. With the news he’s not running for reelection I — like many others- now have a lot to think about. We are at war. We need more fighters. I would be ferocious.
We should have ICE troll more construction sites, that’ll bring down prices
That really sucks. I’m sorry we’re living in the Stupidest Time. 😕
WE'VE DONE IT, SEATTLE! 🤩
26' SOUNDERS GOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL! DE RO! SEA 1 | MIA 0 #SEAvMIA
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.
State supreme courts are a battlefield for pressing issues, from abortion rights to ballot access. But do you know how your court works? Our guide breaks down the structure and procedures of every single state’s highest court.
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
“The postwar order rested on three pillars: American hegemony, the fossil-fuel energy system, and an open, multilateral trading order. America has now attacked each pillar at the foundation of its hydrocarbon global order.” — New: @katemac.bsky.social & I www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/bri...

Sounds like a great kid. Thanks for getting him ready for rest of us. 👍
For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society
Hamas is a terrorist organization The Israeli government supposedly isn’t. I can’t tell the two apart.
Congrats to them, they are dead wrong! 😊

Here comes an MVP month 🤦♂️
We need to put together a GoFundMe to buy and install a strategic bone in this poor man’s body. It’s just sad. 😢
How do you keep governing when opponents try to stage a fiscal loss?
They completely failed the test. A gigantic black eye for an otherwise successful administration (comparatively).
It's only 1.36 billion packages. No big deal.
The most effective action you can take to improve climate action and climate policy in the United States and therefore the world is to elect 61 Democratic Senators. It’s stupid that this is what it currently takes. It isn’t inspiring It isn’t fun This sucks, and I hope we still get to do this
This is the single largest attack on small and independent businesses in US history. Whenever anyone right-winger talks about being anti-corporation, pro-small business, pro-labor, pro-small government, just show them this and remind them only Democrats spoke out against it.
Damn. So sorry to hear that.
I'm an independent artist. It's my livelihood. Already been having setbacks w/ restocking. Charms, arcade rugs, tapestries, ect. Now? Up in the air if I can ever restock specific items again. It's not just merch... I have paintings overseas for a show. if they don't sell, they won't come back now
This administration's immigration policy is fundamentally sick. Trump has wrongly detained lawful green card holders and even CITIZENS. No one should assume this was necessary. These firefighters put their lives on the line for us ALL and Trump is detaining them.
JFC 🤦♂️🏆
Today, August 28, marks the release of The Shoup Doctrine, a book celebrating the legacy of legendary urban planning professor and economist Donald Shoup, who passed away earlier this year. 🧵

My 7 year old still yearns for the tannery. Help me.
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
Oh....thanks.
The GOP will let every child in America be shot in front of our eyes and won’t lift a finger to stop it happening again. These same people are going to restrain Trump from using the military to control cities and elections? Cmon man
Dems are proud to be running a candidate in each of the 100 Virginia House districts. The folks in these bright red districts, some new to politics, will appreciate your help, too. Plus, in a "wave" election (it's too soon to know), there can even be one or two surprises.
We've just updated our special election Big Board with Drey's big win (10.46 pts, not 11 as stated above). Across 34 special elections this year, Dems are outperforming last year's presidential results by an average of 16 points. That's far ahead of 2017-18.
I'm sure the article says this, but it's not really a thought experiment, it's just what's happening. Where "we" equals "successful if not particularly profitable Chinese industrial policy and companies". Modules today cost 10 US cents per W, which is really, really cheap.
A thought experiment. What if the world's climate policy for the next few years was: flood the planet with cheap or free solar panels? billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-modest-p...

Not novel but it seems to me incredibly important for the future of the US and the whole world to have a political party/movement that will actually be ready to do a full constitutional and institutional reconstruction, and to bring the current lot of authoritarian murderers and thieves to justice
Every new person that runs for office as Republican, whether for sewer commissioner or president of the confederated states of America should be subject to this question from the press. “Do you condemn the lawless presidential actions of Donald Trump?”
HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:
They say these things because they never have to define "centrist." What does it mean?
“I’m for the accomplishment of incremental forward progress that neither threatens nor enhances existing systems and power-structures”

I'm one of the 37 targeted below by DNI Tulsi Gabbard. I haven't had a clearance nor worked in government since 2013. This is political theater & a dangerous example of government abusing its powers to punish private citizens for openly exercising their 1st Amendment rights. My full statement:

Don’t worry, the executive order ending de minimus exemptions for small inexpensive packages only affects *checks notes* 1.36 billion packages 💪🍾🇺🇸 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
DHL has suspended worldwide deliveries to the USA as of today, too. It's fun being a pariah!

Parents in Seattle are consistently adding large gifts to their kids in their financial plan, just so the kids don't have to move out of state to buy a home. These are kids with careers, btw.
Thanks Luke!
Thanks!

Did Johnny play 3rd or something on his rest days?
It’s not even September and the Big Dumper now holds the single-season record for home runs by a catcher. Next up: 50.
It’s August 😅
Unbelievable talent being showcased in this mariners game
It’s still August 🥹
Hi Senator, any comment on the military occupation of our nation’s capitol? Sincerely, A constituent
We don't need a difficult to administer unrealized capital gains tax. Billionaires like Cuban fund their lavish lifestyle by borrowing against unrealized gains at low rates. It's a tax dodge. So we simply need to tax the proceeds of these loans as regular income. Problem solved.
The GOP would let every child in America be gunned down in front of our eyes and not lift a finger. If you are expecting this party/administration to show restraint in occupying blue state cities, you should probably retire to the moon or something
Mark you seem like a good guy. We don’t need higher taxes on people like you to pay for stuff, at least on a federal level. We need to tax you because permanent dynastic wealth distorts and eventually destroys the economy and democracy that you care about. Nothing personal nor a shakedown 👍🥂
reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

I decided to look at all 66 prosecutor elections this fall. Why? Prosecutors have huge power over sentencing, charging, second chances, and even immigration implications. Here's everything you need to know, from East to West Coast. New from me:
BREAKING: A new experiment in Philly shows cash rental assistance slashed homelessness rates by 57–67%.
There goes math again.
"We beheld throngs of swaying bodies, caught up in some sort of blood-trance, all of them shimmying as if to some unheard music, circling a massive, formless statue, all intertwined in a seething mass of sweat-covered skin and beehived hair-dos that seemed to defy gravity."
