This is a small number of people who were there (I was towards the front), and there were many other protests in the Seattle area today.
The Times: “Giuliani’s car crash raises serious questions about Joe Biden’s age”.
Nope. I believe in and support doers, not talkers.
Which actually doesn’t mean anything.
Of course they will. Trump and the Republicans completely lied about the implications of this terrible bill.
An Administration of incompetents and suck-ups. How did we sink this low??
Hannity is a huge liar and hypocrite. Always has been. Every commentator on Fox is terrible, but he’s the worst.
The Trumpcession. Totally predictable.
Complete capitulation. A national embarrassment. A total turnaround of long-standing US and Western policy. Just when you think it can’t get worse with this guy it does.
What a snowflake
What a pathetic little baby. Did any reporter or news organization actually take this seriously?
Thanks. I will factor this in, but truthfully I don’t have any big issues with Harrell. I also believe (as an ex-City employee) that Seattle has really suffered by having a series of 1-term Mayors (going back to ‘09). It’s really disruptive when a new Administration comes in.
Okay, will do.
Just curious why. Harrell backed and supported the huge, successful SDOT levy. Not sure why Wilson would be better.
Sure. I mean, they’re still terrifying immigrants and throwing them in jail, still ignoring climate change, still making terrible appointments (like Emil Bove), still pursuing retribution against political opponents, still Implementing random tariffs, but things have gotten “better”? Whatever.
Gabbard comes across like an acid casualty from the 60s. I can’t believe anyone takes her seriously.
This headline is complete gibberish. If Biden had said something like this you would have had 4 Op-Ed’s questioning his capacity to govern. Why the double standard with Trump?
A “changed man”? The guy who’s lining his own pockets, sending out increasingly deranged social media posts, and throwing innocent people in jail? Ridiculous.
Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings: -Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove) -Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%) news.gallup.com/poll/692522/...
Nationally - Net Support For Mamdani's Policies: Raises Taxes On Corporations/Millionaires: +43% Free Child Care For Children Under 5 Years: +38% Freezing Rent For Lower-Income Tenants: +38% Government-Owned Grocery Stores: +20% Eliminating Fares On Public Buses: +10% YouGov / June 30, 2025
And where’s the mention of Trump and Musk de-funding and gutting the NWS and NOAA?
🤮
There is very little to celebrate this July 4th. Trump said in a speech last night that he hates Democrats. Do we have a President who professes to hate half of the country. How is that okay? How do you and the rest of the MSM let him get away with this? For God’s sake do your jobs. You’re not.
It’s not a “detention center”. It’s a concentration camp for black and brown people. Disgusting. It’s a black mark on the whole country, and part of our descent into fascism.
I don’t believe anything this Administration’s Ministry of Propaganda puts out. Neither should your newspaper.
Barbaric.
World’s biggest coward and phony. Disgusting.
She’s a phony and a coward. Disgusting.
The “Age of Trump”? Please. The Era of Stupidity is a more appropriate name.
The corporate media, based mostly in the NE, honestly had no idea of the depth of feeling and anger about Trump, particularly here on the West Coast.
Your “coverage” of the protests makes me think you actually have no idea what’s happening out here around the country. Get out of New York and look around. Many estimates say there were over 10 million people out around the country participating in these protests and marches.
So you’re actually going to acknowledge that actually millions (not thousands) of Americans will be out protesting today? And all over the country? That would be a nice change.
So you’re actually going to acknowledge that millions of people will be out protesting today? That would be a nice change.
This will lead to more “both sides-ism” by the press and general condemnations of violence. Meanwhile the terrible rhetoric by Trump and Fox “News” will continue. The connection isn’t that hard to see. When will you call it out?
So important for someone to make this point. They changed the rules for hundreds of thousands of immigrants and now trying to claim that they’re here “illegally”. What BS.
Have you ever given any thought to how your paper’s fascination with Trump may have led to this fiasco? Because I sure have.
The lunatics are running the asylum. People will die because of this.
The west coast hates Trump, and wants nothing to do with him. We’ll also never forgive you for helping to normalize him and helping to make this all happen. Terrible.
This “assassination” attempt has more holes in it than a piece of Swiss cheese. I’m not a conspiracy theorist at all but I don’t buy any of this.
She’s a liar and a fascist.
So offer Musk an exclusive interview so he can spill it all. Do it NOW. What are you waiting for??
Here comes another lawsuit.
It’s not outlandish. It’s batshit crazy. If ANYONE else in office spouted this kind of insane nonsense you’d be calling for them to step down. However, as always, there’s a different standard for Trump. Do you jobs better!
What did these idiots think “mass deportation” means? Sad and tragic. And stupid.
So, good thing that @jaketapper.bsky.social and CNN are so obsessed with President Biden. Because, you know, nothing significant going on now.
I’ve been saying for years that the Democrats slogan in every election should be “Republicans don’t care about you—but we do”. It’s easy to show without a lot of wonky language. Democrats need to get much better at communicating with short, simple messages that go for the jugular.
So now maybe your paper can stop relentlessly hounding him and obsessing over him, and focus on the old President we have who is destroying our country.
Nobody cares. It’s yesterday’s news. Maybe focus on the fact that our current President is a liar, felon, and wannabe dictator. He’s also about to turn 79. What about his obvious cognitive challenges?
Not only a lunatic but a complete asshole. Nobody should die from the measles! Ever!
Both Bellevue and Redmond have done a good job planning for Link and planning for growth generally. When you look at just DT Bellevue, the Spring District, and DT Redmond, there are thousands of housing units now close to rail, with more on the way. Other station areas are also seeing more infill.
Good to know that the White House has a 14-year-old overseeing their social media sites.
And there is it. He doesn’t care. Unfortunately the @nytimes.com and other MSM will just cover this as “something else Trump said” instead of the outrage it deserves. The media has completely failed the country.
Everything that’s happened in the last 100 days was completely predictable. You should have thought more about all of this when you were hounding President Biden from the race last summer.
Apparently a President can’t save the economy but we’re seeing first hand that one can destroy it.
Why don’t we send him to Rome and tell him he’s the Pope? That might work.
It’s incredibly hard to understand, but this guy is barely human. Look at his eyes. There’s nothing there. No humanity or empathy. He’s a sociopath. With an office in the West Wing.
Yes. My issues with the Times go way back to what their political reporting has been like the last few years.
So now the federal government is arresting judges. But hey, no problem here, right corporate media?
Now the federal government is arresting judges. But hey, no problem here! Just business as usual, right @nytimes.com?
This was all completely predictable. It would have been really nice if the @nytimes.com would have considered this a bit more when they obsessively hounded President Biden out of the race last summer.
You know who was really, really woke? #popefrancis. God rest his soul.
Showing up is 75% of the battle. Saving democracy is a participation sport, but a spectator sport.
It was a good column, and he was trying to convince himself to get off the bench and into the game. Millions of other people need to do the same.
The Democrats should now label themselves as the Party of freedom. The Party who supports due process, civil liberties, academic freedom, etc. The Republicans have completely lost that with their embrace of Trump’s autocracy and police state. Americans value freedom very highly.
I couldn’t agree more. All of this also gives the Democrats a HUGE opening to label themselves as the party of freedom. The party that supports due process, civil liberties, academic freedom, etc. The Republicans’ embrace of quasi-fascist and police state tactics will be their downfall.
Our Attorney General is a pathological liar, just like her boss. Great.
Let’s see how many MAGAs step up and go after this. My guess is zero. Who aspires to working in a mine?? This Administration is living in the 19th Century.
Yes, that’s pretty obvious to me and half of the country. Don’t know what’s wrong with the other half.
He’s a small, petty little man taking revenge on people and places he doesn’t like. Not Presidential at all. Please continue to fight for us.
Trump is a small, petty, vindictive little man.
This needs to be opposed by everyone, including the leaders of the faith community. This is outrageous.
And where are Trump and Bondi in condemning this act of domestic terrorism? Nowhere. They care more about Teslas burning.
Yes. And where’s the @nytimes.com on this? They were relentless at hounding President Biden out of the race for age and cognitive decline issues, but not with Trump. Total hypocrites.
Great. This will mess up the real estate market and likely affect car purchases as well (interest rate hikes combined with tariffs). So much winning!
Of course investors are skittish. We are all skittish. We have Mad King George making decisions based on nothing, with no plan or strategy. People wanted this?
More unnecessary idiocy and chaos. The Toronto Star gets it. When will you?
More unnecessary churn and idiocy. The Toronto Star gets it. When will you?
This guy is maybe the stupidest, most clueless person on Fox, and that’s saying something. Pathetic.
The right is coming apart at the seams. This is all good—we want Trump as weakened as possible.
I take it back, I did see coverage on the Times webpage. My bad.
I would say more like millions when you add it all up. The protest were highlighted on the WA Post web page. Don’t see anything on the @nytimes.com site. You can’t ignore this size of a turnout. People are pissed and concerned about our democracy. This is real.
Massive turnout yesterday at the #handsoff protest at Seattle Center. People are pissed. Really pissed. Things need to change, and fast.
I’ll be at Seattle Center, 12:00 to 3:00.
Of course DOGE and Trump are huge culprits here. Thousands of people have been fired or laid off from good jobs for absolutely no reason. It’s insane.
Thank you, Senator Booker!
This is a total game changer. God bless Senator Booker.
Who gives a shit. I can’t believe that she actually let this guy touch her. Gross.
Nobody wants this. This would end the country as we know it. This must be opposed across the board.
She’s useless. I can’t understand why the hell Maine voters keep supporting her.
While you and most the MSM have capitulated to Trump The Atlantic is standing strong. Be more like them.
She’s almost as contemptible as Trump and Musk. Almost.
Which is perjury, correct?
Lying. It’s what they do. It’s really all they know how to do.
This is a very intentional strategy by them. They don’t care about how many seniors they hurt and scare. This is terrible.
And it’s intentional. They don’t care how many seniors and people suffer and live in fear.
And at what cost? People need to rise up in outrage about this.
That’s it? This is your reaction? If this had happened under Biden’s watch the Republicans would be going ballistic. Show some passion and some spine, or step aside. You are failing us.
And what are you doing about it? How about more outrage and more action.
