The WA state millionaire’s tax bill is so poorly named I think it must be on purpose to tank it.
Half the people in Seattle who own a home are paper millionaires. But the tax is only on people who MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
That’s almost nobody! Why didn’t they lead with that?

As horrific as what is happening in the streets of Minnesota is, what is happening inside the concentration camps is so much worse. And yet Congressional Democratic leaders are completely silent about it. (Whereas rank and file Congressional Dems have drawn attention to it.)
NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.
“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.
But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

It just doesn’t have to be this fucking bad all the time and I’m really furious that it somehow is, and only gets worse, every single year I spend on this planet

I know it’s late in the season, but I have a major suggestion for the NFL.
Make both teams play at the same time. I’m not talking the (beloved) Seahawks and the (evil) Patriots.
I’m talking both teams’ offense and defense play simultaneously on the field with two balls in opposite directions.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

There’s an episode of Peppa Pig where Mommy Pig is forced to go skydiving to fundraise to fix the school’s roof. Daddy Pig goes up with her and falls out of the plane. He is rescued by Mommy Pig, but he falls enough to break the roof again.
Daddy Pig is told he must skydive again to fix the roof.

If you’re ever near the Wells Dam in central Washington on the columbia river you can check out this cool retired control center thing they have on display. You can pull levers and press buttons in there and they have an extremely satisfying chunky feel

I’m ready the Book of the Long Sun. I read Book of the Short Sun last year and loved it. Long Sun is a more comprehensible read so far, but Gene Wolfe still does the thing where he uses a word like 10 times before he gives you even a remote hint about what it means. What the heck is a Caldé, Gene?

if the whole genocide thing wasn't enough for you, another good reason to get AIPAC money out of democratic politics is that the organization now exists to move republican donor money into democratic races to sow chaos and get the most republican-friendly democrat elected
Punchbowl has AOC quoted saying the same thing that I've been saying for the past few weeks re: AIPAC spending against pro-Israel Tom Malinowski.
“It’s quite shocking how moderate of a stance that they are mobilizing against. We’re not even talking about them targeting the left,” Ocasio-Cortez said

AIPAC’s first 2026 test
A Thursday special primary election will reveal whether Malinowski can survive a spending onslaught in a new era of anti-AIPAC sentiment among Dems.
