Thought that maybe, just maybe, @seattletimes.com would do the right thing and slip a bare-minimum credit into their piece on the story I broke, including my screenshot of the IG story, shortly before it vanished.
Nah. They don't care. Still pretending they got the story on their own.
Hey, @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social you literally GOT this story from me. I broke it days ago on Bluesky and then on my own website, PubliCola. THE POST WAS DOWN BY YESTERDAY. I RAN INTO YOUR REPORTER WHO THANKED ME FOR BREAKING THIS NEWS today. Give my independent outlet credit immediately.
Now you know who this hardworking journalist and her independent outlet are. We need these people. Not 60 Minutes. Follow her. Thank you Erica C. Barnett.
2020s American news media model:
• Lay off all the investigative reporters
• Steal all their work when those now independent journalists report something.
Biden didn't have time (or health) on his side. Probably the most broadly experienced president. Decades legislating in the Senate, 8 yrs Obama co-pilot. His DNC handlers didn't get him or let him shine. Harris the weathervane. Whatever position gets votes. CA A.G., US Senate, VP. Obvious at get-go.
Realistically, it won't help if your candidate doesn't have the heft of a major party. I was registered Dem from 1972 until last yr thanks to a morphed corporate DNC, tho I can vote a Dem ballot. We need massive change & restructure, but we can't do that and fight authoritarianism simultaneously.
I just watched Jason Crow in UnrigWashington.org now this is my requirement to vote for any candidate.
Crow is so gifted. So is Brendan Boyle. There are some real powerhouses rising up through the weedy undergrowth of a too comfortable, too complacent Congress. Retirements are finally happening not because they fear being voted out, but because it seems they might know they're not up to the fight.
I did not know about that organization. THANK YOU!
I’d still support her over a Republican. But rather primary candidates taking AiPAC money, or big pharma and worse-billionaire bro AI evil techs, Karp Thiel Elon who want to take over with big bro surveillance. Look up their manifesto.
I’m only supporting candidates who sign the UnRigWashington.org
The subjective ideal fractures. It splinters. It weakens. It loses. How many times do we have to see it? I'm willing to hold my nose and vote for someone who can win than watch the continued destruction of my country by whatever the putrid hell pervades today's thoroughly united Republican Party.
If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?
The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.
Kernen has shown himself to be one of the biggest lying assholes on TV. News flash Kernen, the pedo felon doesn't give two shits about anybody but himself, and that includes you. If you haven't figured that out by now, you're an idiot.
He killed over 160 young girls at a school and threatened to end their entire civilization out of respect and admiration
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

The Onion taking over Infowars on 4/20 is kind of perfect, no?

Warren Buffett says if the top 800 other major corporations paid what Berkshire Hathaway did in taxes, Americans wouldn't have to pay a dime in income taxes, or any taxes.

Clean up on aisle Hungary.
Hungary’s PM-elect Peter Magyar says he would enact an ICC arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu and detain him on arrival.
The election winner said Hungary would stay a member of the International Criminal Court which his predecessor Viktor Orban began withdrawing from last year.
As our pressure to stop the SAVE America Act in Congress is working, some states are racing to enact their own versions of the bill to disenfranchise countless voters ahead of the midterm elections.
Not on our watch.
A die-hard Trump supporter told me today he’s done with Trump. He said he won’t vote Republican this Nov. He won’t vote Democrat, he just won’t vote. He said it was this war. “I voted for the fucking OPPOSITE of this,” he said.
It’s just one voter, but I hear the same from others every single day.
had dinner with a friend and only saw two senators
And we should not look away.
Absolutely. Never.
But the shit piling up outside the White House (thanks to the high-rise luxury building builder homesick for Trump Tower, maybe) obscures other piles he's created - an ever increasing pile of abominations. Pick a topic, it's in the pile.
Not a lot has changed since the end of 2025.
