and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stooped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!

He is a babbling idiot; clueless, cowardly, and insane. How long will the rethugs continue to play along? Till thousands of citizens die for his fragile ego? Was it worth it to get tax cuts and conservative judges?

Usually the answer shows up in a couple days. Obviously he is still pissed that Washington Gov. stood up to him a few weeks ago.
and he is not happy with Wash./Ore/Cal. being so "liberal".

come to think of it, Inslee could have denied antifa existed, counter to trump's insistence it is the reason for all the protests.
Or something.

Everything's pretty cool here. Great job of de-escalation. Free food, movies, a 'no-cop co-op'.

The far-right is calling it some kind of armed takeover of the city. There's a 7-block 'autonomous zone' and it's more like a local street festival.

However, if something like it can spring within the contemporary empire, that will be a sight to behold, and give rise to hope that history is not over yet.

To hope for the one is to realize the other.

The Paris Commune arose out of the disastrous end of a war in which France was defeated, after Paris had been held in siege for months to the point rats were sold in the markets for meat. Paris was in this siege defended not by the regular army, but by an urban militia. The rising began with the killing of general officers by men of this militia, after the surrender of France to Prussia, when what was left of the French army and government attempted to assert its authority in the city. It was not something that sprang into being out of a few street demonstrations by people mostly prosperous, largely peaceable, and certainly unarmed.

Jesus Christ. People are working things out. It’s on, but not all over, the local news. People had a sit in in City Hall and left after a half hour or so. The Third Precinct’s police bugged out and there’s a quiet little temporary community that last night had movie night. They watched “13.”

Yes, there have been challenges and demands and, you know, America. It’s FINE.

That stupid asshole wouldn’t recognize democracy if it bit his tiny mushroom dick off.
