I had to put this amaryllis outside as ants suddenly appeared on it. It has stayed this beautiful despite temps in the 20’s for a week. I’m going to be like this amaryllis—hold strong and thrive despite the harsh conditions I find myself in. I—we will survive and thrive.

I swear everyone who’s lived in Seattle since the 90’s and has been paying attention to politics should know Wilson has no new ideas. What she has is regurgitated idealism from previous progressives that was an utter failure then and will be this time around too. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Mayor Bruce Harrell concedes race for second term to Katie Wilson
Harrell aspired to be the first two-term mayor in Seattle in decades, but fell short in the closest mayoral race this century. He waited a day to concede.

So the government has reopened, but the GOP are still doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to address rising costs. Take Nevada governor Joe Lombardo for example…

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

For the kids out there, Ken Starr relentlessly pursued Bill Clinton, accusing him of sexual misconduct. Not saying his affair w Lewinsky wasn’t, but the way Starr went after Clinton is yet proof again that everything GOP attacks is a projection of their misdeeds
Ken Starr, immediately after being fired for his role in the coverup of sexual abuse at Baylor: I should reach out to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein
this happened! this is a thing that happened!

the decision to really just abandon moderation and let it rip suggests that this is what meta wants for its platform. this is the final, idealized form of the product
The most horrifying AI slop of ICE raids you can possibly imagine is wildly viral on Facebook, collectively totaling tens of millions of views from a single account. First spotted by @chadloder.bsky.social

So in 2015, someone I know who had been involved in lots of dealings in Russia after the collapse, said when we were talking about Trump running for prez in 2016, that there were lots of people who wanted him in office-no t Russia. They left it at that-it wasn’t Russia. It’s US corps that helped him
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

In light of the Epstein emails, and after watching The Office episode on sexual harassment tonight, I wonder if Trump was enabled by men who saw that episode & didn’t think, “omg! I’m so embarrassed I’ve done this” but thought “I’m not a bad person! There’s nothing wrong with making these jokes!”

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

For me, it’s that Donald was staring at the young girls in the pool so much he walked right into a glass door.

Reminds me when “keeping it real” was a trend in the early 2000’s. As a friend who had it w the trend, said, “people think they’re keeping it real, but they’re really just being rude.”
