Beyond appalled but sadly not shocked - this happened in my (small) hometown. Lots of love there, including the church and its congregation, but clearly plenty of hate still lingers too. There’s a reason I left as soon as I could. I wish it didn’t have to be that way. https://t.co/9uUfK1eV22
#IBecameADemocratWhen I realized in high school that only one of the two viable political parties recognized gay men like me as human beings
#IStoppedBeingADemocratWhen I realized they’ll never support significant reforms because the status quo works well enough for them already
I don’t always see eye to eye with Cm. Sawant, but she absolutely nails this one. https://twitter.com/cmkshama/status/1294389897554546692
Oh heck! Cleveland fam, please ship this to me. https://twitter.com/PlatformBeerco/status/1294298765860507651
HELL YES. NO NEW YOUTH JAIL <3
Two down (we hope!), three to go!
✅ Defund SPD by 50% at least
▫️ Invest in Black communities
▫️ Free all protestors
✅ No new youth jail
▫️ Jenny Durkan must resign https://twitter.com/seattletimes/status/1285765446461988864
“Proactive arrest”. You can’t arrest someone for pre-crime. Full stop. There’s a thing called the fourth amendment that says so. This is some seriously terrifying Orwellian bullshit. https://twitter.com/josh_wingrove/status/1285714470250086402
Terrifying, I didn’t think I would ever see the day this happened in my country. @OregonGovBrown activate the National Guard and protect your citizens from the unmarked, unaccountable abductions being carried out by the federal government. https://twitter.com/sparrowmedia/status/1283436911307218948
Enough. America is a country where you CAN NOT snatch people off the street without due process. This is fascism. The federal government is no longer following any rule of law. If violence is never permissible, then truly, what -is- the appropriate response here? https://t.co/MZJjBThG3Q
Jeezus they just bum rush peaceful protesters and start hitting. They know NO other option than violence. Fire every single one and make them re-interview. #DefundSPD https://twitter.com/1stRoundFinish/status/1278854169743388672
Check out this great Kickstarter project from a black & queer owned apparel design business!

A good friend of mine in Columbus is helping to set up this virtual benefit for victims of domestic violence - please consider checking it out, it’s for a great cause!
This is a president who looks at what happened at Tiananmen square and the only problem he sees is the camera. Disgusting. https://twitter.com/ErinBanco/status/1267977752420012032
“It's not only the personality of the cop that's consumed by an action, but the entire history of American slavery. This is Derek Chauvin's knee. 400 years pressed into the last nine minutes of George Flyod's life.” https://twitter.com/mudede/status/1267578716797808640
As if we didn’t have enough to worry about. I know folks’ mental energy capacities are probably already sapped right now but this -will- have serious repercussions. https://twitter.com/farhip/status/1267568211605762051
cw: police brutality
An absolutely terrifying thread - dozens of examples of excessive use of force by police this weekend, often against credentialed media, and very clearly intentionally provocative against peaceful demonstrators. I’m shaken.

This is the most cursed tweet of 2020 so far. I love it :) https://twitter.com/MStrehovsky/status/1215331369083076609
Just reading the list of new features and improvements was exhausting, congrats to the team on a HUGE milestone! https://twitter.com/dotnet/status/1176165472129011712
Happy 10th birthday to a truly revolutionary device, (and the only piece of technology I’ve truly loved)! #PalmPre #webOSmemories

And don’t get me started on how badly we need to tackle healthcare, for everyone but especially for those least able to pay under the current, horribly broken system.
I work in tech so assume I fall approximately into that income range. But for the love of god Washington state, please get your sh*t together and tax my income! We need money to spend on transit, homelessness, affordable housing, and other things that help those earning less. https://t.co/4B5JCyPfw1
UGH. And they even went with “females” (rather than “women”) to show that yes, they can always go lower. https://twitter.com/gramsofgnats/status/1124361169701990400
WELL THAT’S A ‘YIKES’ https://twitter.com/qz/status/1119278616574078976
And just like that, they suddenly shoot onto my radar of places that would be worth working at. That’s how you do it folks! (Looking at you FB) https://twitter.com/kumpera/status/1119235668658597890
I get that being able to choose your job is a privilege, but if your job is to invade the public’s privacy just to provide utterly useless security theater, I have a hard time feeling too much sympathy when the privacy invasion machine employing you runs out of money. https://t.co/MVJGBiYZQk
Random sampling of replies to a tweet about Trump doing something. Notice anything suspicious?? How is it possible that Twitter is SOOO incompetent at filtering out fake accounts / bots? (Spoiler alert: they don’t care)
No one bothers to ask the REAL questions: who is moving the magnetic mountain, how are they doing it, and most importantly, WHY? https://twitter.com/onlmaps/status/1085896021966761984
Look at this happ fluffyboy :D Seattle has many ‘yotes and they all seem to be quite healthy and well-adjusted to city life! https://twitter.com/RobMunoz88/status/1084600543723499520
Heck yeah! In between sessions and trips to the waterslides, do yourself a favor and go chat with these awesome, brilliant folks :) https://twitter.com/AssurantLabs/status/1083020568155381760
Absolutely incredible... I’m speechless. https://twitter.com/87sandersonss/status/1071151411436666880
