The plaintiff, alleged that in 1994 she was HELD as a SEX SLAVE in an apartment belonging to Jeffrey Epstein (the 2ND defendant in the case)

Donald Trump is facing a child rape lawsuit. Why aren't we talking about it?
The presumption of innocence shouldn't be a free pass for powerful men to avoid scrutiny, writes Clementine Ford.

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

Vote in your local elections!

Another Socialist running for mayor (Seattle) is looking like they'll beat the incumbent centrist Democrat.

Let's go Katie! 😀
Progressive activist Katie Wilson has pulled ahead of incumbent Bruce Harrell for the first time in the Seattle mayor's race, but the election remains too close to call. Results released Monday afternoon show Wilson leading by 91 votes.

91 votes separate the candidates. 91!!! (For you kids, that's 24 more than 67). It has never been more important to make sure your vote counted in the Seattle Mayoral election! It's quick and easy to check, and quick and easy to fix if there's an issue! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
HEY! Did you vote for the Mayor of Seattle and think that you're DONE with this election already? Well, I'm here to tell you you're NOT! There's 1,794 ballots from Seattle alone that aren't counted due to signature issues! But good news: you can check and FIX IT if it's you!

If you live in seattle you NEED to do this.
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

very happy news but wanna note the Supreme Court didn’t decline to overturn Obergefell, they declined to hear Kim Davis’s case much like they do hundreds of other cases a year and I feel like it’s important to make that distinction, like it’s a yay but not a definitive yay

Thank you, Governor Katie Hobbs, for stepping up to make sure Arizonans in need — especially children — don’t go hungry! ❤️
