I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

P.S. It’s going to get VERY dark and ugly…much darker and uglier…before Humpty Dumpty has his great fall. We have more than enough fire in the gut to survive it, though, to be around and watch the fall. (There won’t be nearly as many of the King’s horses…or men..trying to…put Humpty together again;)

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files.
Good luck, asshole.

Has anyone mentioned what a gift it was to Trump to reopen the government basically the same day that the Epstein emails were released?
Convenient timing.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.
