The billionaire class can keep stuffing their own pockets more and more and screw everyone else struggling to get by, but history reminds us the day will come when people decide they’ve had enough injustice and oppression.

Silencing smart people so dumb people won’t be offended is like unplugging the smoke alarm so the fire won’t feel bad.

No, no turnstiles, but you are supposed to tap your ORCA card. Then if fare enforcers wind up on your train you have to present it for them to scan with a hand-held device to show you paid (or just show them your paper ticket as proof of payment).

Tom Knoblauch @tomknob.bsky.social · 8d

Did you buy a plastic ORCA card, or did you just buy the paper tickets? ORCA cards can be pre-loaded with a value and you tap them at the yellow card readers and the fare is deducted from the card. The paper tickets are just receipts that proved you paid and you don’t tap. Just show them if asked.

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

All of the people you see in Seattle with umbrellas are either tourists, or just moved here from somewhere else

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Power surge caused by hundreds of people throwing heavy objects at their TVs all at once due to Toronto going ahead of the Mariners on a 3-run home run?

When this is over, no matter the effort and no matter the cost, we tear down Trump's ballroom and restore the White House to the way it was.

And then we take a wrecking ball to Mar-a-Lago.
