Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged.

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

The days of debating whether #democracy is under threat are long gone. We need to mobilize as a democracy, as a society, as a civilization to decide what we truly believe in and fight to hold on to it.

Join us for No Kings 2.0 on October 18, 2025. #indivisible #westseattleindivisible #constitution

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...
