@seattletimes These “protesters” obstruct law enforcement. And they organize themselves to do it. They are anti-law.

With the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigrant-rights protesters, we must not give in to fear, columnist Naomi Ishisaka writes. #Echobox=1781545404-3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seattletimes.com/seattle-news/a…

@PositivFuturist @ezralevant Homelessness in America isn’t about money

Elon could literally solve homelessness tomorrow. All he needs to do is sell his stake in the companies he created from the ground up, crashing the price and evaporating his wealth as well as the savings and pensions of workers globally.. handing the control of these companies over to short term profit interests and preventing any long term vision from being enacted.. THEN take whatever money that remains which will be nowhere near 1tn and give it to homeless charities who have never solved homelessness anywhere on earth because they’re financially incentivised to do the opposite. Bam - homelessness solved. The reason he doesn’t do any of this is because he’s evil.

OPINION: On Friday, the King County Transportation District voted 5-4 to raise your sales tax by a tenth of a percent. You didn’t get a say. You won’t get one. mynorthwest.com/kiro-opinion/h…

@PramilaJayapal Your climate cultism does not align with facts. But that’s how cultists go. They care more about ideology than reality.

Climate change is not an abstract future threat. It is happening right now, in our communities, to real people. Wildfires that destroy entire neighborhoods. Floods that wipe out homes families spent lifetimes building. And while all of that is happening, this administration is claiming that greenhouse gases aren’t a threat and is gutting the EPA, because the fossil fuel industry paid for exactly that. We are not going to accept a future where our children inherit a planet that has been sacrificed for someone else's quarterly profits. We fight for a livable world. We fight like it is urgent. Because it is. 💜

@madsssagascar Sounds like you made up your mind before actually looking into it.

im genuinely intolerant of religion like in a way that even progressives probably think is problematic. you have this made up idea of existence from a story book and you reject the reality of the world around you to the point of hate and violence. while looking stupid as fuck

@GavinNewsom I’m guessing you don’t see the total hypocrisy in your criticism. The whole elected government was intended to serve the American people. And yet so many of the elected elite, foremost including you, use it to their own agrandisement. All of it is shameful. No humility, anywhere.

The White House was built to serve the American people. Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family. The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office. They did not fight a revolution for this.

@pawelwargan Commerce lifted people out of poverty. Commerce made it possible for Elon to become a trillionaire. Commerce is good. Government control is not.

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

@GeeScottSr Or more likely, they’re just not willing to make the compromises to buy what they can afford. There’s a lot of affordable real estate out there. Maybe just not in the places people insist on living.

Renting forever isn’t a lifestyle choice. It’s what’s left when somebody saws off the bottom rung of a ladder. A lot of folks aren't afraid of the house commitment, they're just priced out of it.

@PramilaJayapal You are a top contributor to the dismantling.

Democracies don't fall because of outside invaders. They fall because leaders dismantle them from the inside. They attack the press. They intimidate judges. They use the power of government to punish political opponents. Sound familiar? We have to fight this with everything we have.

@NathanJRobinson @JohnCleese American taxpayers are not running a charity. Raise funds voluntarily instead of taxing us.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-elon-…

@Reuters @specialreports All voluntary purchases.

The $TRUMP meme coin generated about $616 million for the Trump family, while buyers lost more than $700 million, according to Reuters' estimates. The coin has tumbled 97% from its January 2025 peak reut.rs/4oisC7e @specialreports

@PeteButtigieg Blacks have a vote, just like everyone else.

The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power. We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.

@seattletimes It’s the only answer they have: tax the people more. Rarely, if ever, mention of trimming, optimizing services based on existing revenues. Businesses have to do that, why can’t government?

After decades of money shortages to maintain roads, the Metropolitan King County Council voted Friday to boost sales taxes, to be paid by urban, suburban, and rural people alike. #Echobox=1781304712-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seattletimes.com/seattle-news/t…

@RepKimSchrier 2021-2024, you and the rest of the elected class spouted misinformation about Covid. Which has lead to the current distrust of the “medical experts”. Try humility for a change.

Every day, we see the dangerous effects of the RFK Jr spillover effect: His vaccine conspiracy theories have caused parents to mistrust their doctors, leading to brain and gut bleeds in infants when families refuse a vitamin K shot. This is heartbreaking and entirely preventable. RFK Jr.'s baseless claims about standard care for newborns have deadly consequences. Parents: Trust your doctor, not RFK Jr., about what’s best for you and your family. propublica.org/article/vitami…

@BobFergusonGov Echo chamber

Always great to be with the Benton County Democrats -- great turnout as usual!

@PramilaJayapal Class envy is a manipulation tactic of marxists and collectivists. It’s wrong to manipulate people.

Billionaires just crossed $20 TRILLION in combined wealth. Meanwhile, the number of Americans who said their finances are “somewhat worse off” or “much worse off” than a year ago was the largest in years. The economy is working exactly as the powerful designed it to work — for them, not for us. cnn.com/2026/06/08/eco…

@seattletimes Please tell me this isn’t the same owl that enviro-cultists used to shut down sawmills all over the state back in the day 😂

A plan to kill nearly half a million barred owls is now in a judge’s hands, but a lawsuit says the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may have already started. #Echobox=1781308885-3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seattletimes.com/seattle-news/e…

@seattletimes I’ve always wondered, why are the fire department buildings so elaborate and fancy? I saw one near northgate, it was demolished just a few years after it was built. “Advanced” design resulted in mold? Just build basic, move on to fighting fires.

Facing a $175 million budget gap that must be closed in just over six months, Mayor Katie Wilson and her team considered a novel approach: make the fire department self-funded. #Echobox=1781207991-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
