Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

“ without a shadow of doubt” Yet Republican still embrace and fawn over the president who committed crimes against the United States. That is definitely their brand. Checkmark treason, and bestiality as OK for public office.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

We've all heard how corrupt Ken Paxton is. But he is also incredibly stupid if he thinks this "well, he served 60 whole days" excuse for releasing Adam Hoffman, who sexually abused a boy over a three-year period starting when he was 8.

No more shoulder-shrugging when a machine programmed by a person commits a crime. That means the person, not the machine, has committed a crime.

Three years ago today. Let’s get out there and make fun of the fear mongering bullies. (And bring a jacket. It might rain).
A screenshot of a twitter post from Kat Abu: “Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn’t go well.“ It includes a picture of a white woman in a green jacket with a microphone in front of her. She is outside in Seattle, getting increasingly annoyed with the reporter trying to paint Seattle as a hellhole. She will soon turn to straight up mocking him.

IDK how anyone thinks Paxton is good for Texas. 21 people were murdered in Uvalde, including 19 children. Calling that part of God’s “plan” is beyond grotesque. Some comments reveal more about a politician than any campaign ad ever could. This is one of them.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

Wait, a man who drove his wife to suicide by proving how popular he is with the ladies stole money from black kids for their health to fund an entourage to prove how important he is? It's *almost* as if RFK, Jr. is a truly horrible, insecure person!

"I live in Honduras. We vaccinate" 

"I live in American we can choose if we want the shot or not"

The first time I watched Return of the Jedi, I wondered how we were supposed to believe that a gelatinous, slimy mound of evil who could barely move around and wholly depended on sycophants to cater to his every whim could have possibly amassed such a fortune that he would inspire fear and be running things.
I get it now.

The theme of Trump’s second term is his using the power of the presidency as though it’s his own. That manifests in tantrums booting media outlets from the White House. More harmfully, it also manifests in blocking federal funding to states that didn’t vote for him. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

Note to Californians: I've been getting texts asking me to sign petitions supporting Prop 40. It's already on the ballot. At this point, "they" are just collecting names. Don't sign any petitions for shit that you get to vote on in a few weeks: you are just begging for post-election punishment.
