Community members are rallying at the Northwest Detention Center to condemn ICE's deportation of Greggy Sorio, also known as Kuya G, to the Philippines. Sorio is scheduled to be deported today at 6PM. Organizers with the Tanggol Migrante Movement, a coalition of Filipino Americans,

If we want more people who have the choice to drive not to drive, driving has to be the less convenient option. We are so far from this in Seattle unfortunately. Point in case, my trip from Rainier Valley to Northgate every weekend for kid language school...

Yesterday I saw this dad and daughter biking side by side along the Alaskan Way trail, which at one point the city and the Port said couldn’t happen because the of the cruise ship loading at Pier 66. Scenes like this make all the advocacy worth it ☺️

WA AG, lawmakers propose law to protect workers from immigration raids

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

Almost TWO YEARS after a driver veered off the road and destroyed a bus shelter, fully grown tree, and concrete seating, the shelter has been replaced. We’ve been begging for improvements here since the crash. Thank you @seattledot.bsky.social @kingcountymetro.bsky.social for coming through!

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Greetings from the first revenue service train to leave Federal Way, with all three county Executives, Senator Maria Cantwell, CEO Dow Constantine and numerous other board members.

"Biological people" was always where this eugenicist rhetoric was headed - ie "biological women", "biological pronouns" - because they genuinely don't believe trans people are even human. This dehumanizing language is essential for them to paint trans people as genetically incompatible with society.

The three stations of the eight-mile Federal Way Link light rail extension opens. Here's your guide to the new line and the opening day festivities. Story: www.theurbanist.org/2025/12/06/e...

we all make fun of NYT headlines on here but not enough is said about their apparent lack of basic copy editing

There's a city council member in Albuquerque who was elected as a Dem but typically votes with the conservative/GOP faction. But she is retiring this fall. The election to replace her is on Tuesday; the result could (if they win) tip control of the council to liberals.

As I reported last week, SPD is cutting down on overtime "drastically" (per an order from a deputy chief) to save money, including for all investigations of property crimes. Surveillance is a choice—we don't actually have to build the Panopticon.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back. Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance. Be a housing fan.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

cannot stress enough how bad it is to give teenage boys a "see this person naked" button. massive, multi-axis disaster

Anyone have a good brunch spot in PDX with some tasty gluten-free options? Surely my fellow Cascadians have some recommendations!

Normalize the dismantling of intrusive, nonconsensual surveillance technologies

The government is not and should not be run like a business because it is not a business, it is the government Hope this helps

Good. Intoxicated driving is a factor is ~20% of fatal crashes every year in Seattle. The more robust solution is mandating cars to have built in anti-drunk driving tech, but until then, we have to do what we can.

I'm not a fan of the Seattle Fire Department still putting out info on the old platform, but even more bizarre is what they chose to report there. A fire in an underground utility vault yes, an adult and child getting hit by a speeding driver and transported directly to Harborview no.

I'm not exaggerating when I say following @boltsmag.org rn will unlock money for our journalism. A generous reader, @russ41.bsky.social, has offered to donate $1 for every 1-person increase to our follower count. If you're not following @boltsmag.org yet, it'll directly help fund our reporting!

Well-shaded bench in Stoke Newington.

Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT

“The proposal is a bad deal negotiated by a lame duck mayor, giving police a big pay raise while allowing them to continue to block accountability and hinder the City’s civilian crisis responders.”

Seattle Fire is currently responding to a driver hitting two pedestrians, an adult and a child, at 15th Ave S and S Angeline Street in Beacon Hill.

“If…proven, this is what a modern conspiracy to permeate segregation throughout a community looks like. Not burning crosses. Not explicit laws. But contracts weaponized as cudgels, liquor licenses held hostage, and music turned into evidence of who deserves to belong.”

Damn literally everyone’s cowering to this administration

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

@vivmccall.bsky.social absolutely understanding the current moment. I endorse everything in this story 1000%. The hero we need and deserve. 👏👏👏 www.thestranger.com/the-complain...

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse. The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead. "Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender" Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue." 1/

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Women's sports bar Rough & Tumble will officially open its second location on Friday, taking over the former Columbia City Ale House (4914 Rainier Ave S).

this shit is just beyond parody, man

CADC, 2-1, says Trump could illegally fire Wilcox and Harris. Trump judges in majority say Humphrey’s doesn’t apply to NLRB or MSPB, and so don’t have to wait for SCOTUS to overrule it. Biden judge in dissent says the ruling “paves the way to autocracy.” media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/doc...

me: maybe i shouldn't have used the word "ethno nationalist" to describe this administration in class also me: no, that was accurate

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

this is cold blooded, calculated murder and Bradley should be court martialed and jailed for it

Explain it to me like I'm five – why should the head of an executive branch be able to chose who replaces them in the legislative branch.

Such sanitary language. A driver crossed the centerline and killed Anacortes High School teacher and pillar of the community Edmundo Corrales.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

This is an insane paragraph. This is at the very least, literally, not "indisputable". The lower-court ruling you're overturning said otherwise, and there's written, public evidence the DOJ said do this for racial reasons! "Indisputable" just means "I don't care to deal with contrary evidence."

There has never been a more important time for jury duty. She's not the only one who's being prosecuted maliciously. Get seated and nullify.

Many of you may have heard that trans girls are now banned from Girlguiding in the United Kingdom, their version of the Girl Scouts as we know them in the United States. It is a cruel new low in a country that has treated trans people horrifically in recent years. The latest from S. Baum.

Seattle Fire is currently responding to a driver hitting someone walking at 41st Ave E and E Madison Street in Madison Park. The person who was hit is being transported to the hospital.

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.
