I wanted to focus on the incompetence of these thugs—who appear to have had little to no law enforcement training but seemed instead to be recording 'content.' www.unchartedblue.com/renee-good-w...

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

They gonna turn that murderer into a victim and hero like that dorky kid that shot protesters.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Seattle area peeps. Two spontaneous protests are about to happen. 4:00 DHS Tukwila offices 12500 Tukwila Int’l Blvd 6:00 Seattle Jackson Federal Bldg. 915 2nd Ave (2nd Ave Madison-Marion)

It’s, dark, gray, 41°, been raining nonstop all day. Seattle is socked in. I’m going back to bed.

ALL YOUR SOVEREIGNTY IS BELONGS TO US!

Trump is the little dog that caught the car. He hasn’t the faintest idea what to do now.

Greed is killing democracy and the planet.

Every Friday since March we hold a serious but FUN and LOUD Sidewalk protest in front of DHS/ICE (Seattle) headquarters in Tukwila. 9:00-10:30am. On this week’s Playlist, in tribute to our Portland friends, The Doors “Peace Frog”.

Ironically, only sociopaths are mentally fine right now.

Math: If you deport all the immigrants the crime *rate* goes up.

I’ve got no plans for Thanksgiving and it is so less stressful this way. The anxiety I had just thinking about going to my sister’s (20 people, lots of kids plus mostly MAGA adults) was nearly paralyzing. The relief I got when I texted I wouldn’t be there was heaven.

So… Trump’s cool with Mamdani now?

Capitalism most rewards sociopathy.

The term “immigrant cows” used to be allegorical.

AM/PM minimart cashier at 6:00am with her cheery, friendly, smiley attitude trying to ruin my perfectly good bad mood before I even have my first sip of coffee.

Yes. MacArthur Park is a protest song. No, it wasn’t written as one, but the metaphors apply, be they references to the Park, which was violated by Federal troops and forever tainted, or the ruination of American democracy itself. This is in Friday’s DHS/ICE protest playlist. The whole ten minutes.

That only Maxwell and Epstein were charged in the sex trafficking ring is another colossal Merrick Garland fiasco. It just can’t be overstated what an utter failure he was. It was within his power to save democracy and he just wasn’t anywhere near up to the task. I can’t imagine a more gutless AG.

all i wanted was a world where I could talk about politics with my friends without ever discussing two presidents giving each other blowjobs but woke took that away too.

Sooner or later (probably sooner) an armed, masked, unidentifiable ICE agent is going to get rightfully shot. Trump, Bondi, Noem, Homan et al will be thrilled.

My first formal remarks as mayor-elect: When I say, “This is your city,” I mean you have a right to be here, no matter your background. But I also mean that we have a collective responsibility to this place and each other. #thisisyourcity

I had a brilliant idea but now I can’t remember it‼️😵‍💫

Turns out cops can be useful for something after all! We had an equipment malfunction at this action, and the camera didn't record any audio. But my teenager asked if the cops would have bodycam footage, and after some jumping through hoops, we got it to show to you. #teslatakedown

Wild that seemingly every prominent person in the world was good friends with this one sub-literate already-once-convicted child rapist with zero apparent skills or non-rape interests. And none of them can quite explain why, other than 'well it certainly wasn't because of the child rapes.'

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection. We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election. We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future. And we won. This is YOUR city!

I have never had this much confidence in an elected official: her vision, her strategy, her dedication to the people of Seattle and all that's best about living here. It's hard to wrap my mind around, honestly.

NFL played in Germany today. I wonder what the carbon footprint of football is.

I've neglected this effort in the last few days because [gestures wildly], but....please. One of the very most basic responsibilities in a neighborhood/nation/society is that we take care of one another, and right now, SO MANY need us to step up.

We need dramatic, self-imposed, nationwide austerity. Until the oligarchs, conglomerates, and investor class feel some real pain, not much will change.

I want the government open and SNAP benefits and ACA subsidies resumed; Grijalva sworn in, and the Epstein files released. But I’m also kind of hoping for a complete air traffic shutdown just ahead of Thanksgiving.

Why does Mike Johnson keep holding Press conferences not having read, heard, or seen anything or talked to anybody.

1/ This story needs a bit more attention, because the rumor out there is that the Harrell campaign is paying Yusuf $5000/week to conduct a "ballot harvesting" campaign in the Somali community, and legal or not, such an outsized expenditure poses a serious threat to the integrity of mail-in voting. …

If you are following 100,000 accounts, you aren’t following anyone.

Seattle Councilmember Bob Kettle just invoked "a Six Sigma thought in the back of my head" we HAVE to stop the cult of "leadership principles" among elected officials. everyone does not need a "growth mindset" or whatever the latest management jargon is

Door Dash makes edibles a lot more expensive.

Seattle area terrorists: we need more volunteers for @ndlon.bsky.social’s adopt-a-corner effort at Home Depot Tukwila. DM me. Also thank you @wawhistles.bsky.social for the @waisn.bsky.social WHISTLES!

Whistles! Let’s organize to give everyone whistles and teach the ICE alert codes! Whistles are helping Chicago resist. Let’s learn from their experience

I love it the way never Trumper Republicans point to small government conservatism to justify their Republicanism, like that is somehow exculpatory.

The best thing I can say about the Trump term so far is I completely don’t give a shit that the Mariners aren’t going to the world series and that I have spent not one dime on streaming services to watch sports of any kind, let alone seeing anything live. I just don’t fucking care.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE MISSING ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ DETAINEES?

1/ We need to have a chat about Seattle Police and how they're handling the No Kings protests. They've been really… good. It's a marked departure in both tone and tactics from SPD's approach to protests in the past, and I think it could be a model for police forces nationwide. …

I was so happy to see my Primary Care Physician at a protest waving a sign an bopping to the music I was playing. And no mask. This is too rare with the professional class who apparently fancy themselves as above this sort of thing. Made my day.

What’s with all the trolls today?
