#WeThePeople get the government we desire. We desire the government care for our parents as they age. We desire the government care for our children as they grow. We desire the government to provide for our healthcare as we work. Our government will take on each of these projects... but there is a hidden cost. The type of politician willing to vote these services into existence understands what we are truly asking for: allocate public monies for our personal use. Politicians who sign up for the job know we will allow them to take a share of public monies for their own enrichment… as long as we get our share, first. The people who fund these politicians understand that we value our share of public monies more than we value any concept of rights or liberties. They know we will surrender our rights each time they are set against a decision to trim our share. Decline the offer. Take care of your parents, your children, yourself. Live free. Choose liberty.

not sure folks really understand what this means. it means the door is now open to wealth and property seizure via any unconstitutional tax scheme the washington legislature chooses to enact. there is zero recourse, because as the court has shown here, it will rubber stamp each new tax, reject all arguments and lawsuits against it, and prevent the people from exercising their right to vote it down. game over.
Viet Q Nguyen@VietQNguyen

Unbelievable. Washington State Supreme Court has stripped the people of Washington State their people's veto by referendum. We now understand this a kangaroo court. The argument that the state income tax was an emergency doesn't hold any water. @AGOWA argued this was required because it was a revenue bill. But for 20 years, Washington lawmakers almost never used the referendum-blocking clause on tax bills. Then, in 2025, every single emergency-clause tax bill used it — and the practice carried into 2026. This is a sham. thereflector.com/stories/washin…

@jesseproudman @joewallin The greatest obstacle WAThePeople faces is the state’s constitutional election structure is a pure democracy, not a representative one where the minority has a chance to slow and eventually reverse progress against them. $0.02

Many people are asking what they can do to help Washington. Instead of following the clearly defined process to change the constitution, Pederson’s plan has been to force the State Supreme Court to overturn existing case law. It is unacceptable to legislate using the judicial branch and 5 of these seats are up for election this fall. Join the fight by following along here: fullcourtpresswa.org

Carvana made about $6,800 in profit on every car they sold last quarter. The typical used car dealer makes around $1,500. Carvana makes four times as much because the car is just the start of what they sell you. About 85 out of every 100 Carvana buyers finance the car through Carvana. At CarMax, their biggest competitor, the same number is closer to 40. When you click "finance" on Carvana's website, they write the loan at one interest rate, then sell that loan to a bank or pension fund within days. They keep the gap between what you pay and what the bank pays them. That gap, multiplied across hundreds of thousands of buyers, is how they print money. Then come the add-ons. An extended warranty. Coverage that pays off your loan if the car gets totaled. An insurance referral to Root, a digital car insurance company Carvana owns a piece of. Each one stacks on top of the same checkout. The car is the bait. The loan is the meal. Everything else is dessert. This is why selling them your car at a price that felt too generous still works for them. The money they make on that trade-in shows up later, after the next buyer signs. They clean it up, sell it to someone else, and that someone else signs another Carvana loan. This is also why they aren't going anywhere. In May 2022 they bought ADESA, a used car auction company, for $2.2 billion. ADESA came with 56 auction yards across the US. Now Carvana owns the auction yard, the body shop that fixes the car up, the trucks that deliver it, and the lender that funds the next buyer. Every step of that car's journey happens inside something Carvana owns. Three years ago none of this looked like it would survive. Carvana's stock hit $3.55 in December 2022. They had over $5.7 billion in debt. The market thought they were going bankrupt. Then Apollo, a giant private equity firm, led a deal with their lenders that cut $1.2 billion of debt and pushed the deadlines out to 2028. Last quarter they sold 187,000 cars and made $405 million in profit in 90 days. They joined the S&P 500 in December. Their market cap sits near $84 billion. Bigger than Ford. The whole business looks confusing if you think of Carvana as a car company. The math gets simple once you see them as a lender that happens to deliver cars.

Sold a car to Carvana today and I have no idea how they stay in business. Inexplicable.

I didn’t love the mayor’s flip comment, but the current hyperventilating right-wing portrait of Seattle on this site as a total backwater shithole where no business (or sane person) would ever want to be if it wasn’t for the low taxes on rich people is pretty funny. Last time I checked, Seattle is: (a) home to two of the seven biggest global tech giants (well, technically Microsoft is across the lake); (b) the site of one of the country’s top 5 (and globally, top 10) public research universities; (c) the most educated big blue city in the US, where 70 percent of residents over the age of 25 have a bachelor’s degree, and one of the three most literate; (d) the third most affluent blue city in America, with a (still) fast rising median household income; (e) a city that, after being the fastest growing big city in America in the 2010s, continues to grow - our population growth is on track to make us bigger than San Francisco before the end of the decade; (f) blessed with a temperate climate where it rarely gets very cold or hot and with a breathtakingly beautiful Puget Sound landscape where mountains, ocean and islands are near at hand (the crappy weather claim is the funniest one of all - have any of these people ever spent a summer in the Pacific NW?); (g) in close proximity to three of the US’ 63 national parks, which together draw millions on annual visitors; (h) ranked just this year as the most livable city in the US based on an analysis of six criteria: quality of life, safety, healthcare access, disposable income, air quality and unemployment rates. Oh, I could go on, but tell me again how our dark, damp winters are going to be the end of us all now that we’ve added a relatively modest tax on very high earners.
Alex Berenson@AlexBerenson

So Seattle is about to find out it’s not New York or San Francisco or LA or even Chicago, it’s not a financial or tech or cultural world leader, it has lousy weather and second-tier higher ed, and if it makes business too hard business will just leave

We’re watching a vicious cycle take hold and repeat: instability, fixation, escalation. The “Luigi Left” keeps pouring fuel on it. Unless we break it, it will only get worse. We must confront this anarchism head on.
ABC7 Eyewitness News@ABC7

Disturbing new details have emerged about the man accused of igniting a fire that authorities say ultimately set off the deadly Palisades firestorm. In a trial memorandum, prosecutors say 30-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht was distraught over a relationship with a former co-worker and was fixated on Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. spr.ly/6010BBkBVi

@shortmagsmle God gave us Reason, Logos, the Word… why…? So we could explore His Creation, unravel the wonders He placed here for us to understand, and share these discoveries with each other in face-to-face conversations. TV, Internet, etc., easily distracts us from this core purpose.

I believe that many people simply go insane after being exposed to the internet for too long. Not sure what causes it. Some people can just be “online” and stay detached and fairly normal, others degrade over time into rambling lunacy. Not sure why.

They should all be fired. If I walked off my job, I would be.
Margo@MargoinWNC

Teachers abandoned their jobs and bragged about wage earning parents having to miss work. "If it hurts the families, it's good for us." Homeschooling can be done in groups. Homeschooling in North Carolina is not controlled or regulated by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Homeschooling may seem like something not all parents can do, but you can. There are hybrid options, online options, and community based options. Take ownership of your child's educational destiny. Don't rely on leftist teachers who don't care about your child, you as a parent, or their position as a role model to children. It's time the North Carolina legislature opened the voucher system to homeschooling.

The last time I commuted into an office in Seattle before we moved my family to Florida, I had to come to a complete stop on I-5N in the heart of downtown… because a homeless person was walking across the freeway and was in my lane. A few moments later, another homeless person was walking on the right shoulder of the same freeway, just emerging from the shadows of a tunnel as I entered. I was left to ponder the implications to my life and family if these clearly unstable and uncared for individuals jumped left into my path of travel as I was simply driving to my bland office job…
FugitiveMama@fugitivemama

My daughter works in medical sales. A few weeks ago she had an appointment downtown Seattle and literally had to walk over a vagrant sleeping in the stairwell to get to the office. A doctor had to direct her to another stairwell to leave the office safely. On another day, she left one appointment in downtown Seattle and thought she’d drop in to another medical facility a block away. Since it was a nice day she considered walking but was quickly turned around when she realized she had to walk through an open air drug trade area. Yes, Seattle has changed considerably in the past decade.

Ok, I’ve finally processed how I experienced this, and it’s a big deal. I grew up hearing stories from my father and grandfather about the Soviet Union, but this was the first time I truly understood them, like the difference between hearing stories about having a child and actually holding your own newborn. Like an ancestral alarm. It’s devastating. Everything in me is screaming to divest from the region that I’ve poured my adult life into to survive. The feeling of loss is immeasurable, and the casual “bye” just makes it worse. The damage from the lack of empathy here will create a cycle of attacks that take decades to undo and will bloody the hands of everyone around me, there are no sidelines in my line of work. This also isn’t about taxes, the cost of reorienting my life is infinitely greater. It’s now primal and existential.

INSANE. Seattle's Socialist Mayor responds to exodus of wealth from Washington state by saying "BYE" ... then laughing. We're doomed.

Similar problem in Washington state: all state legislative districts elect 2 house reps and 1 senator. The same population elects all three. It descends to a 51% democracy by design. Must have separate, overlapping districts for house & senate at the state level, similar to original federal design.

What DeSantis has done at the state level in Florida is impressive and should serve as a model for other red states under complete GOP control. But I don't think you can transfer it to the federal level, or that the skills even transfer. In a perfect world we would just send DeSantis around to other red states, and let him be governor for a while, and just replicate what he's done in Florida. Sort of a roving boss. If he wants a federal cabinet position though - he definitely has earned it.

@unseen1_unseen Endorsed. Gerrymandering is a Corruption of Purpose, placing the desires of the elected representatives above the interests of WeThePeople whom they are elected by, whom they are elected to represent.

Just an FYI, long term gerrymandering doesn't work. In fact, a strong case can be made that it actually harms the party using it over the long term. Short term? Sure, it works much like censorship works short term. Both fail long term as they give the controlling party a false sense of security and creates hubris that makes them overreach which if elections are still a thing causes a landslide against that party and if elections are no longer fair or free as JFK stated it will cause a revolution. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."-JFK
