The Seattle Police Department is developing new guidance for responding to calls about people being detained by federal agencies or troops on the streets of Seattle.

Sulzberger’s nyt has played a major role in legitimising extremist views posing as research. He once pubbed 4,500w on a report re detransitioning that had been *retracted* by its publisher for its fundamental flaws. It had not been peer reviewed, which should always be a red flag to real journalists

Brilliant analysis. "This isn't shit-posting. This is how you topple authoritarians." www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIOL...

Listening to this deluded, demented bigot is like having Archie Bunker in charge of something important--only without Edith for the comic relief.

I know you all know what deranged, vile, propaganda nonsense this is. But for the record: Leaders of the regime are declaring the opposition party and all forms of political dissent as illegitimate - and large swaths of the population to be dangerous terrorists. This is incredibly dangerous.

Y'all dis 👇🏼 Please! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you so much. 🌺❤️🫂💋🙏🏼

Trump just released George Santos from prison. Ignoring the rule of law & the will of the people in favor of his personal whim. ... You know... Like kings do. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/17/t...

Health allowing, I’ll go live later - from a more horizontal position than usual. I’ll take any Qs about my illness - ME, Long Covid - and how it shapes my work and limits. You can also bring Qs about your chronic illness journey. We’ll explore together. www.youtube.com/live/dQuJPpH...

A MAJOR SHAKE-UP AND A RED FLAG 🚩 Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned after 37 years. Trump’s escalated strikes in Venezuela raised legal alarms. Behind the scenes, Holsey clashed with Pete Hegseth over the mission. 1/2

🧵 We are in an information war, and @eva.computer has this exactly right: "[the Feds'] arrival here is for intimidation or propaganda purposes (ie visa threat made by State Dept account)". Not only "don't feed the federal trolls": put them on complete ignore. Read this thread for *why*:

white house has joined bluesky click here to block all official us government accounts instantly bsky.app/profile/did:...

This will make it much easier to block the fascist state propaganda channels here.

Youtube random unsubscribed me from many channels I follow, which I am discovering as I view something (the algorithm is thankfully still pushing followed channels my way) and then I realize that I am no longer a subscriber. WTF, YT. Grrrrr.......

9. This pattern became more pointed after the shutdown on September 30 in what @donmoyn.bsky.social has called “ideological targeting.” The Times reported that $27 billion in funding is being expressly held from Democratic districts. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

JUST IN: Judge Mehta threatens contempt and bar sanctions for attorney Carolyn Stewart — who has repped numerous Jan. 6 defendants and pardon recipients — over filing a motion with “fabricated” citations to local rules and refusing to correct it.

For years I worked outside an abortion clinic.Anti healthcare protestors doxed the physicians, office staff etc showing up at their homes, putting “WANTED FOR MURDER” posters on public streets with their names/addresses.Police did nothing citing the 1st Amendment. What is the difference here, now?

I would like to thank Mike Johnson, House Republican leadership, and Karoline Leavitt for all the free publicity this week promoting our rallies tomorrow. Find one near you here. www.nokings.org

Opus Dei being disbanded is ground-shakingly huge. Leonard Leo and Kevin Roberts (Heritage Fdn/Project 2025) are closely involved with Opus Dei, and OD has ties with Christian Nationalists intent on instituting theocracy in America. Here's a pod w/deets on the tentacles of this group:

This typhoon was completely devasting and wiped out entire settlements, washing buildings out to sea. It is severely under-covered--probably because these are Native Americans in a very remote region, easily ignored. If we had anything more than a vestige of FEMA left, they'd be there in force.

The hypocrisy is the point. Great rant. Best quote: "Fascism is a temper trantrum disguised as an ideology." www.tiktok.com/@tofology/vi...

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Stellar comment on rage bait and fascism claims.

Leave your Palestinian flags at home on Saturday. Leave ALL your personal policy demands at home. Saturday is about one thing only: Defending democracy & the rule of law. No fucking kings in America. That’s it. That’s our ONLY message. My #NoKings rant.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Just sued the EPA for illegally ending a $7 billion program that lowers energy costs and pollution by bringing solar energy to more than 900,000 households in low-income and disadvantaged communities across the country.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Good message in this vid.

This.

Christian Nationalism is driving a hell of a lot of what's going on in our government right now--the result of Project 2025's ongoing coup attempt & coopting of our govt. Jennie Gage deconstructs Erika Kirk's speech at Medal of Honor ceremony, dog whistles & all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C46v...

Hey, cat-friendly peeps in the Eugene or Portland OR areas: I have a friend moving from Springfield to Portland who has 6 cats, & needs to rehome 4 of them. 😟 If you can help with kitty adoption, pls DM me. Or reshare this with othes who could maybe help. They're sweet older cats who need love.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation. youtu.be/9OBdjsGntQI?...
