Will this be made public at some time? Kicking myself for missing it.

Hah here's a story about the artist and the swap out.

This artist has a series of them. I interpreted this as rich men hold up the world and are willing to steal every last penny from us. They replaced it with a more Everyman statue by the same artist.

Make me think of the statue that used to be in front of the Grand Hyatt Seattle.

Someone then vandalized the memorial. Crossed out the original text, wrote 'shooter' to justify it. When did he shoot? He didn't. Police shot him. No video. But they'll deface a memorial to defend it. This is the sickness.

SPD STILL SUCKS!

Correction: I was wrong. McMorrow accepts PAC money and has AIPAC connections.

Abdul El-Sayed is the progressive: refuses PAC money, Medicare for All, Sanders-endorsed, calls out corporate Dems.

Would be curious to see turnout % by district.

Very soon... Any day now.

Yeah I'm having issues with the trust factor. Have heard Democrats already calling to accept her into the big tent. Think we need to quarantine her first, see if she can actually walk her talk. If we even get the promised vote, does she vote for extending ACA subsidies?
November 22, 2025 at 5:36 PM
To go from Q, space lasers, and maga to sounding reasonable? She's totally shooting for Senate and then possibly higher office.

Right? Fascism is at the door and 86 Democrats decided THIS was the urgent priority.

Tells you everything about who they actually fear: progressive primary challengers with popular economic policies, not the authoritarian right.

Donor maintenance > stopping fascism, apparently.

So sick of Adam being my congressman. So smug.

Volunteered with the Sarah Smith campaign in 2018, we got 32.1%, better than previous challengers. With all of his recent terrible votes and Sawant's GOTV machine...

Let's put the final nail in Adams political coffin in 2026.

What "socialism" actually means:
-Medicare for All (70% support)
-Public banking (65% support)
-Worker board seats (60% support)
-Social housing (68% support)

@adamsmith.house.gov just voted to condemn policies his own constituents support.

While claiming to be progressive.

Make it make sense.
November 21, 2025 at 6:19 PM
. @adamsmith.house.gov represents a D+18 district.

The general election is a lock. The primary is what matters.

And he just handed any progressive primary challenger two perfect attack lines that will activate exactly the voters who decide Democratic primaries.

Political malpractice.
November 21, 2025 at 6:19 PM
. @adamsmith.house.gov could have voted NO like every other Washington Democrat.

Instead he chose to create a rhetorical weapon that can be used against Medicare for All, public housing, worker rights, and wealth taxes.

That's not moderation. That's donor service.
November 21, 2025 at 6:19 PM
. @adamsmith.house.gov loves to talk about how progressive he is.

Then he votes to:
✓ Honor Charlie Kirk
✓ Condemn "socialism"

You can't claim progressive credentials while voting to celebrate right-wing extremists and attack progressive policies.

Pick a lane, Adam.

Guess that makes it easy to know who to primary. Not like we didn't already know who was a corporate dem.

And Elon.

I'm still wondering where we will hold them and what we will call them. The Mar-a-Lago Accords? The Palm Beach Proceedings? Let's be honest, we'll probably just livestream it from a Denny's parking lot and call it justice.
