ICE spotted in Dulles Airport

Good morning from Mercer Island station. Every reporter from the entire Seattle metropolitan region is about to cross a floating bridge on a light rail train for the first time ever.

This is the way. Start inconveniencing them and making their lives miserable. Give them no peace.

The storming and the vandalising. High drama...

We did it once, we must do it again. Most people were not taught the history of the labor movement. Because working class history IS anarchist history and anarchist history has been intentionally withheld from the masses of working class people. Imagine creating modern “3rd places” for the people.

Police corruption has a long, long, deeply rooted history in Seattle. And we should know better, but so many people have latched on to this Dick Wolf-ian idea that there is a Magic Number of cops that will make ALL the problems go away FOREVER, if only we care enough about their feelings.

Woke is when you defend big tech companies and their right to inundate children with thinspo.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump Thursday defended his decision to cast another ballot by mail in recent Florida special elections, despite relentlessly attacking the voting method as a vehicle for election fraud. His defense? “I’m the president of the United States.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Under-appreciated report even by its own publication that hasn't posted it here: "9 of the 12 members of Axon’s ethics board resigned in 2022 after the company announced plans to develop armed drones for its clients. Of those that didn’t resign, one was former Seattle police chief Cameron Best."

It’s kinda wild that the lady who lied and destroyed records was even on an “ethics board” to begin with. But it was at the company that makes the taser, a safe, “non-lethal” weapon that constantly kills people, so it tracks

NEW: According to the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute, “Donald Trump is dismantling U.S. democracy at an ‘unprecedented’ rate” — “comparable to some coups d’états” And now civil rights, equality, freedom of expression and freedom of the press are at their lowest levels in 60+ years

This.

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!

Young Americans are ordering medication pills via telehealth at much higher rates than older adults. One reason may be that in most states, adolescents seeking abortion must navigate parental involvement laws, which require a minor to notify their parents or obtain their consent for their abortion.

Equal Pay Day highlights a devastating consequence of the wage gap: Half of incarcerated women are held in local jails — frequently because they earn far less than incarcerated men. When the typical bail is a full year’s income for women, it’s no wonder they're stuck in jail.

Too many work just to literally survive. It shouldn’t be this way. When you are forced to work for evil people in order to have basic necessities that ensure your ability to just stay alive, you are not free. Shelter, healthcare, food, water, etc. Those are basic necessities of living.

Working for money can never fulfill you. Money isn't real. Work for freedom instead. "Psychology says the reason so many retirees feel lost isn't because they lack hobbies or activities — it's because their entire adult identity was built on productivity"

renaming is what they do “NSN’s formal dissolution could now make its members more volatile than ever – freeing them from its discipline & giving its leaders, who are already plotting a return under the guise of a political party, more protection from culpability if those neo-Nazis turn violent.”

'A war is justified if you're willing to send your kids.'

NEW: Trump has discussed turning the White House Treaty Room — historically a meeting place for diplomats and statesmen — into a guest bedroom with an en suite bath.

Ah yes. “Special military operation”.

Ah yes. “Special military operation”.

Trump: I won't use the word war because they say if you use the word war, that's maybe not a good thing to do. They don't like the word war because you are supposed to get approval. So I will use the word military operation.

Cops are not on our side. That will upset the people who have relatives/friends who are cops. It will also upset the privileged people who are protected by cops because cops protect white privilege and wealth. Their job is to use the threat of violence to scare the masses into obedient compliance.

Trump admin secretly paying local police to act as immigration agents, leaked ICE document shows

The net always widens. "essentially, law enforcement agencies are able to use these cameras for whatever they want. There are very few limitations on what #Flock cameras can be used for, and police do not get warrants to search Flock’s network of cameras, either locally or nationwide." #deflock

So the Seattle Times wants slow, careful audits for groups that work with vulnerable people and youth (fine!) but a "quick," rushed audit for a police camera network that went through literally zero process before being approved and expanded. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/edit...

Our internationalist manifesto 'Revolutions of Our Times' will be published in English by @haymarketbooks.org Available soon in US and UK bookstores. Stay tuned for more details on discussions about the manifesto and current world events with members of The Peoples Want network ...

“Show us the warrant! Do you feel good about your jobs?!” ICE suddenly grabs and throws local folks to the ground as they snatch non-criminals at ROBERTSON COUNTY court, while local sheriffs threaten arrests for talking too loud. From @musiccitymigrawatch : www.instagram.com/reel/DWWGZDv...

We don’t want billions of our taxpayer dollars spent blowing up the Middle East. It's the job of Congress to keep Trump in check and quickly draw this war to a close. But where is @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co? NY-10 deserves an anti-war congressmember.

⛓️‍💥 It’s time to free our homes from fossil fuels. In practice, that means: solar panels, heat pumps and insulation upgrades. Solutions to make us rely on affordable, crisis-proof renewable energy. This isn’t about one single technology. It’s about combining them. Let’s call them “Independence Kits”

AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social: “There is no worker, no industry that [AI and new tech] doesn’t touch. Every job is now a technology job… We’re at the most important fork in the road our economy has faced in 100 years.”

Dem Sen. Mark Warner: "If you think gas prices are high right now, this is the biggest energy crisis of our lifetime." He added: "This was a war of choice," and Trump is "going to own those economic consequences." More from our chat with @markwarner.bsky.social at the Politico Live Economy Summit👇
