WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Someone should brick in the entrances to Broadmoor some night and just never let them leave
Added a new feature to show how your precinct ranks for each electoral race in the city, from 0-100 percentile sea2025election.alternative6.org
For example, 43-1992 Broadmoor is the perfect right-wing precinct, whereas 37-1935 Beacon Hill / Mount Baker transition is much more moderate.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

DelBene. Larsen. MGP. Schrier. Smith. Strickland. What excellent WA Dems we have.
The House just voted for a bloated $900B Pentagon budget despite the fact that the Pentagon can't even pass an audit and despite the fact that Trump is getting ready for a war on Venezuela and despite the fact that so many people are about to lose health care.
Here are the 115 Dem YES votes.

The good news about this is Jimmy Fallon did the same thing with NFTs and all that bullshit fell apart a couple months later so maybe a Jimmy Fallon appearance is a bad omen

Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

But if you spent 2021 and 2022 whining about the prices of burrito taxis instead of celebrating the best ever job market for workers in the 21st century you should know that you were helping the bosses' little scheme. Scheme worked! Trump's back and people are now desperately holding onto their jobs

Republicans will never come up with a health plan. Their plan is "yippee we finally get to kill off the poors and icky sickies"
TIME IS UP—WE NEED A HEALTHCARE PLAN, NOW.
Why is the GOP not scheduling a vote in the House THIS WEEK?? The lives of millions of Americans are on the line. This is literally life or death.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.
