@seattletimes.com how about making important info during climate-emergencies available without asking for money??

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Folks are rightfully outraged over Brian Kilmeade's remarks, but "Just kill them" is official policy in nearly every US city.

Sweeping the homeless constantly, like Mayor Bruce does, and denying them the basic things they need to sustain life, is "Just kill them" by another method.

Age verification laws for social media go far beyond just impacting people under 18 or restricting adult content — they make it harder for all of us to access information and speak freely online.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

So glad that Rep. Baumgartner’s office can’t even take the time and effort to write a new message to constituents who repeatedly express concerns over the issue of PBS & NPR funding.

See you soon, NYC.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history.

The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple.

And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.

Things like the Big Beautiful Bill are the exact reason why every Congressional district should have the right to recall their Representative.

Voting for legislation that will outright kill your constituents (via cutting Medicare and SNAP) is possible because they know they can’t be removed by us.
