• If you want something even closer to home, consider volunteering at or donating to:

    Each is part of the puzzle in the fight for truth, justice, freedom, and the future. ✊

  • I’ve only gotten bluer over time, but then I got so blue that I got pissed off and turned red. But not THEIR red. Our red. ✊🌹

  • I’m no Rand Paul fan, but this speech is mostly right. He voted with Dems to try to stop the Trump tariffs and to reassert Congress’s role in enacting them. The Smoot-Hawley Act was Congress, not the President. Power of taxation is constitutionally assigned to the House: youtu.be/LeZdMCTIc…

  • Seattle voters: What’s King County Proposition 1 about? The 4/22 special election with the AFIS levy. I understand it’s a fingerprint system that’s existed since 1986, but I’m deeply conflicted about supporting any measure that might be used to help ICE deport people without due process. Thoughts?

  • No greater understanding of the issues was provided.

  • Take the 7 o’clock KING 5 news tonight. They covered THAT Cory Booker spoke on the Senate floor this week during his filibuster. And they tried to spin that into some kind of controversy about the rules, but they didn’t cover AT ALL the SUBSTANCE of WHY he was speaking. No viewer was served here.

  • Media consolidation has been so damaging to this country. I’ve been listening to AM/FM radio lately as well as catching local TV broadcast news. You either get bludgeoned with right-wing talk shows or you get local coverage that is SHAMEFULLY DISHONEST blatant corporate propaganda.

  • A message from Bernie Sanders: youtu.be/70nHmlapu…

  • Go ahead and try to spin this protest as antisemitic. I dare you. Very courageous and cunning on the part of the students. www.democracynow.org/2025/4/3/…
