They can't have missed the comic from the Hero Initiative about this

I think every trans person on this website should drop everything and read this immediately. Some of the worst social media backlash I've had lately has come from trans people who are mad at me for telling trans people not to panic over the current political situation.

If only there was some undeveloped land in North Seattle located near mass transit that could support building affordable housing. Anyway vote for Nilu Jenks.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights** Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight.

Every day, my administration works to make Seattle more affordable for people like Sam by fighting for better renter protections, fairer grocery pricing, expanded transit access, and more. You shouldn't have to work every day of your life to survive. You deserve bread—and you deserve roses, too.

I think it’s a great idea actually.

“Students told us the temptation was greatest when they feared they would miss a deadline,” the report reads. IMO the underlying issue here is the labor practices these students are being fed into as they near adulthood. Learning is not about volume of output, but do these students understand that?

There are a whole lot of people in comics that see themselves as “outlaw”, free speech, “can’t cancel me” badasses, but don’t have a word of concern to spare about this. They’ll show up for any scumbag sex pest that sniffs around comics but I wonder why they have no bit of camaraderie in this case?

her facial expression at 0:57 😂 "i want to note that just while we've been in this meeting a car has driven down Post Alley and is now stuck on the Harbor Steps" 😂😂😂

very strong theory. it's giving "don't get rid of the guns, just build bulletproof schools."

Shout out to everyone who said it was just a temporary distraction and not a central organizing principle of modern fascism.

But since this election is in the oft-politically neglected District 5, you might not have been paying attention. This changes now! The lefty candidate here is Nilu Jenks (@niluj.bsky.social, @neighborsfornilu.bsky.social), who's been endorsed by every grassroots org, labor union, and Dem chapter.

Seattle city council's District 5 has been held by pro-business backed candidates for a long time. Debora Juarez has held this seat on-and-off for nearly a decade. Cathy Moore won the seat in 2024, but resigned 18 months later. There is a special election *right now* to fill the seat until 2028.

The primary impact of AI is to enable fraud on a massive scale. apnews.com/article/scam...

The arguments against impeaching Trump next year are all bad and spurious, but they're even weaker as applied to all the other impeachable members of the Cabinet, etc. And impeaching Hegseth for literal murder should be top of the list.

WELL WELL WELL WHO'S THE BIGGER YOUTUBER NOW

This is the single biggest physics discovery of my entire lifetime. Or something's wrong with one of the cables. One of the two

The Japanese-concentration-camp-advocating Freeman family to this day continues to apply political pressure to force entities, like Bellevue College, to take down history and art criticizing their family www.cascadepbs.org/culture/2020... Also they are big donors to Brian Heywood’s hate campaign!

A new essay for all my trans siblings and our allies. "As the UK enters a new era of state-mandated segregation, I find myself asking: was it all worth it?"

A truck carrying our comics was in an accident. No one was hurt, but the comics. 🌲 1 📚 0 Bad news: These titles will not arrive for OSD: #EventHorizonInferno 5, #SonicxGodzilla 2, #StarTrek60th Anniversary, & #TMNTJourneys 13. Good news: They're in stores 9/9. Thanks for your patience.

A quick edit of tonight's beautiful lunar #eclipse.

This is insane.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

Washington state has filed a new lawsuit against the U.S. Postal Service to block the Trump administration’s attempts to make sweeping changes to mail voting ahead of the general election in November.

Company that union busts and fires its employees and then justifies it by spreading rumors they were leaking stuff are now insisting you have to sympathize with them because it’s heartbreaking what these leakers are doing to their employees.
