The constant manipulation of the Bible to justify vile behavior (like marital rape and child molestation in this instance) is often written off in WA because "we're not Idaho". But this has permeated everywhere. Growing up in Idaho and in this ideology its even more horrifying then I can convey.

This thread really exemplifies some internal conflict I've been having. An AI company (whose co-founder's wife has ties to Epstein) is claiming that in the next 3 years there is a 10% chance AI will kill us all. But AI is killing people now, and their creators are not being held accountable.

We are safe from the Upriver fire! Winds changed, firefighters rock (still shouldn't pay sub-min wages to incarcerated people), and we were able to return to our home. The pets are happy to be home. I called my poor insurance agent, Allan for my yearly check in if we still have fire insurance.

Infill housing requires around a third less in up-front infrastructure costs, and generate more property taxes than comparable greenfield development. As cities wrestle with budget shortfalls, they should allow more of this type of development. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

What stood out in Platner's interview with @chrislhayes.bsky.social is the way he uses progressive language about community and solidarity and accountability and openness to soften his image. As if to say, 'could a man this aware *really* be capable of doing such horrible things?'

I agree, except coercion is rape. Often, they use progressive lingo and manipulation tactics like love bombing to coerce a woman to doing things she never intended. Violence is worse if your black and/or trans. This shit happens in Spokane. Please don't insult me and tell me otherwise l.

Now the mayor calls it a peaceful protest. Too little, too late. I hope she feels the sting of her hand in all this. #standwiththespokane3 Next time protest with us and don't give the police more toys.
Quote from Spokesman Review: Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown also commented on the verdict. She said in a news release that she believed the prosectution was politically motivated.
"It was meant to make an example out of people who disagree with federal immigration policy. The right to peacefully protest and criticize the government is a cornerstone of our democracy" she said. "We cannot allow these verdicts to silences us."

How in the fuck could you characterize a single step forward as aggressive. As a BIPOC woman I hear this all the time, we're too aggressive, too angry, too passionate, when we are simply existing. You feeling threatened is not the same thing as someone threatening you.

braindead argument. The social housing developer JUST got approval to receive its very first tranche of tax dollars LAST MONTH! The Seattle Times has no shame and will publish false information as long as it's under the banner of "opinion."
The Seattle Social Housing Public Development Authority was established three years ago. In that time, it has created zero homes. It has created no development pipeline. It has, however, spent and obligated millions of dollars to hire and fire a CEO who never lived in Washington state, pay questionable consultants and embark on a hiring spree.
