Meanwhile, a guy decided to wear his Nazi armband to Westlake for a day of yelling right-wing slogans at pedestrians. It went over about as well as you'd think it would for a literal swastika-armband-wearing shithead shouting poo poo at people on 3rd & Pine.

Duff told BuzzFeed, "I literally just got off a bus and was walking to a movie and saw some guy being obnoxious up the way. Which I’m used to in downtown Seattle, but then I saw the Nazi armband and realize we are dealing with a guy a little more than just obnoxious. I had eaten over 800mg of THC and was way too high for confrontation so I just held back with two other passersby to watch what would unfold."

Haha. I think this guy doesn't understand why Amazon is planning a second HQ to begin with. Part of it almost certainly involves gaining leverage over Seattle and WA by being able to threaten to move high paying jobs out. That wouldn't work if they put their second HQ in Seattle as well.

Moon is pandering hard to get the votes that went to Oliver. She spent $90,000 of her own money on her campaign and is really just an urbanist wonk. Durkan is a piece of poo poo though and would admit to being a republican in any other city.

Frankly, that's what Seattle needs right now. A wonk in terms of urban planning. poo poo's hosed and only someone with real ideas backed by some sort of science and training has any chance in solving it.

Shes not the best politician in the race but she's the best scientist/educator/planner.

I've run into alot of progressives who throw around the idea of Cascadia, just to get away from the republican states loving over our progressive agenda. I don't think people usually think too deeply about it.

As a progressive, I think it's something we should definitely talk about. We're getting hosed over at a national level because of systemic obstacles, and we're not going to see any change in that unless we start leveraging what few options we have, secession being one of them.

I didnt take a picture, I should've. It was a drawn white couple with a baby and various black claw-like hands reaching at them. Each hand said something different, globalism, lgbtq, blm, feminism, etc. and the slogan was something like "Not the America you want?" and had a site link. Mostly I was just wondering if someone in here knew stuff about em since I'd never seen it before and thought it was pretty funny.

Considering the PNW's history as the last bastion of whiteness and the KKK, it's pretty easy to guess.. But seriously, we all know that anythig that calls itself "true" or "real" or "values" or "family" is obviously going to be about undermining those very things... For instance, "therealdonaldtrump" is as unreal as it gets, and has literally contributed to increasing the disparity between reality and belief in the minds of many citizens...

That's only because JPR (and local NPR as a whole,) keep :jerkbag: about The State of Jefferson and how wondrous (and white, but they don't mention that bit) it would be, without actually bringing up the fact that it was a ridiculous protest started by a bunch of angry white farmers who wanted government handouts but were too lazy to protest more than once a week.

No, really... The original State of Jefferson "Revolt" only happened on like, Tuesdays. Officially. Some journalist from St Louis or something heard about it and rushed cross-country to gin up a story about "the last cowboys fighting against the man", but it turned out that Japan bombed Pearl harbor like 15 days after the "revolt" began, and the government realized that they really, really wanted more infrastructure on the west coast (which was the whole point of the revolt - to get dams and highways built out here so farmers who decided to grow crops in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, could sell their goods more easily.)
