Senator Kim on Twitter: “This threatened military action directly contradicts what Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth told my Senate colleagues and I today about the mission and goals of their operations in the Caribbean. This is a dangerous escalation, and this administration must come before Congress for public hearings and explain to the American people why they are risking pulling us into another torever war.”

From the union community on Reddit: CEO Pay Versus Worker Wages Posted by transcendent167 - 2,668 votes and 53 comments

With the starbucks strike happening we thought it would be helpful to cover what we, as people, can we do to support, striking workers. Sourced from r/union:

Imagine what this would have looked like if Durkan fully got her way and Lorena González hadn't amended the STM up to 0.15%.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

After a "bruising nine months" campaigning for Seattle mayor, Katie Wilson said "it's time to come together" as she officially accepted her mayoral win Thursday afternoon, hours after Mayor Bruce Harrell conceded.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

“It’s been a pleasure these past 4 years pretending I’ve done anything other than pad the wallets of the city’s richest people, greediest corporations, and blatantly corrupt cops, but the time has come for me to enjoy more time with the part of my family that best fit into my political narrative."

Congratulations to our new Mayor-Elect Wilson!!

How Chuck Schumer Planned the Shutdown Capitulation to Trump In brief. And then in excruciating detail

Short version:

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet.

Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care

Trump: No

Schumer: Okay

Mayor Katie Wilson? It's Sure Looking Likely!
Wilson surges in the final big batch of ballots that remained uncounted, moving above 50 percent.

(next to an image of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez) “You cannot love this country if you only fight for the wealthy and big business. To love this country is to fight for its people, all people. Working people ….. who punch a clock and are on their feet all day in some of the toughest jobs out there."

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Wilson netted over 60% of the votes counted today.

Wilson leads with 50.08% of the vote over Harrell who has 49.59% of the vote. This may now be moving out of recount territory.

Katie Wilson is ahead by 91 votes

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

• "We have no inflation." Inflation is at 3%. • "It's at 2%. It's-- it's the perfect inflation." Inflation is at 3%. • "Right now [grocery prices are] going down." Grocery prices are up 1.4% since Trump came to office. • "A year ago, we were a dead country." Not only did the US have the fastest-growing economy in the G7 in both 2023 and 2024, but the Economist magazine called it "the envy of the world." • "11,888 murderers were let into our country." Not only is this number inaccurate, but many of the non-citizens convicted of homicide either here or abroad came in during Trump's first term. • "Washington, DC, was... almost like a crime capital of the world." In 2023, per PolitiFact, "at least 49 other cities in the world had higher homicide rates. • "[Biden] hardly went anywhere. Guy couldn't leave his bedroom." Not only did Joe Biden visit roughly as many countries in his term of office as Trump did in his first term, but Biden was the first US president to visit an active warzone - Ukraine - not under the control of US forces. • "I made Middle East peace. For 3,000 years, they couldn't do it." There is no peace in Palestine, no peace deal in place, and it isn't a 3,000-year-old conflict. • "Communist, not socialist. Communist. He's far worse than a socialist." Zohran Mamdani is not a communist. • "I can't give them $1.5 trillion so that they can give welfare to people that came into our country illegally." The Trump/GOP claim that Democrats want to give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants has been repeatedly debunked. • "They emptied their mental institutions and their insane asylums-- into the United States of America." Asylum seekers don't come from "insane asylums." Obviously. • "One thing I can tell you, the 2020 election was rigged." It wasn't. The courts agreed. • "And a lotta people say when it's rigged you're allowed to do it again." A lot of people don't say this. The US Constitution doesn't, for sure.

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going.
