Gentle reminder: if a billionaire wants something political, it will invariably lead to less democracy.

At the same time that we are asked to embrace the morality of the AI machine, we are giving up our own morality by streaming executions for public entertainment. American priorities need a serious review.

The charges, press releases & online amplification create the illusion that non-citizen voter fraud is widespread. This is a strategic, manufactured, false narrative. Statistics show non-citizen voting is extremely rare, & in the few cases that exist often results from confusion, not willful fraud.

There’s no way this was a mix-up. The incident is this year’s Republican “eating the dogs“ audition for the most tenacious jackass in MAGA. I had never heard of Senator Schmidtt before, but now I have, and so have you. These dangerous people aren’t bad at checkers. They’re good at chess.

This is a fantastic idea. My only criticism is using the term “give” money to the arts. The term should be “invest” because like any good investment this money would pay dividends for years to come.

As long as socialists like Mamdani and Wilson answer their critics with competence, they will be tough to put down. That won’t stop the mainstream media from trying, though.

Every interaction I have had with Seattle Police in the past decade has been aggressive, disappointing, or nonexistent. If they were a product, they would be discontinued. The organization is simply out of control and nothing can reign it in.

How can we make people as angry about SFD and SPD overpaid sinecures as the right does the "millionaires tax?" or "Somali daycares?" One is statistically significant but boring, the other anecdotal but rage-inducing.

I never realized how arbitrary our judicial system was until Trump decided to sue everyone about literally everything. Having the Supreme Court as a slam dunk win at the end of the line has tainted the entire process. Justice is now just Kabuki Theatre.
