I'm at the town hall event on surveillance in Seattle, where Mayor Katie Wilson is being interviewed onstage by the South Seattle Emerald's Florangela Davila. Read and watch along with me!

ICE’s Field Office in Tukwila is a short term detention facility disguising itself as just a “holding room.” After analyzing a FOIA Databse, one entry shows how a woman was held for 100 days. A 1 year old and 79 year old were also held there.

If Governor Ferguson signs SB-6002, it would remove our ability to seek public records for Flock data. We would have no way of knowing how much of our personal data is collected by these private equity funded surveillance systems.

The Puget Sound Energy CEO brought in $9,204,291 in 2025, with $7,809,817 tied to ‘Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation’ As your utility rates rise, her salary gets even bigger

Washingtonians found a way to get Flock surveillance data: public records requests. 6 cities, including Mt. Vernon, responded by turning off their cameras. Now the legislature just voted to close that loophole entirely Yesterday, Mt. Vernon voted to keep Flock turned on

Please keep Howard Schultz and his 328-foot, $300 million yacht in your thoughts as he moves across the country to avoid paying a 9.9% tax on annual income over $1M

Chief Lowe with the "no expectation of privacy on a public road" argument. However, being observable in public is NOT the same as law enforcement actively building out a dragnet #surveillance infrastructure to track all of our movements 24/7! Thank you CM Parsi.

PSE is raising electric rates for 1.3 million customers and cutting them for their only “special contract” customer. That customer is Microsoft. Residential: +16.75% Microsoft: -12.49%

In preparation for the light rail, Bellevue has created a new Light Rail Police Unit to “…focus specifically on those challenges that the light rail brings to Bellevue.” This is in addition to Sound Transit security btw

Puget Sound Energy is jacking electric rates 30% even though residential customers only used 0.2% more power from 2024-2025, according to their annual financial statements. Any other PSE customers see their bills spike despite using LESS power?

A bill (HB2515) to regulate Washington State data centers failed to move forward, which included a fee linked to their energy consumption Meanwhile, PSE is proposing to hike electric rates on their residential customers to 16.75% in 2027

I take no AIPAC or correlate money. Let's take down DelBene! Help us out! www.electhunter.com

Norfolk PD was looking at how to spend their marketing budget and thought “hmm what about the in 62 bus in Seattle?”

A reminder that all WA federal representatives and both senators are AIPAC funded except for Jayapal

There’s an emergency protest today (2/28) at Pike Place, 2PM in response to the USA and Israel attacking Iran

Protesters had planned to attend the Hunts Point town council meeting because Mayor John Sabey is a landlord to ICE in Tukwila through the Sabey Corporation. Hunts Point just cancelled this meeting citing “lack of agenda items, a reason not recognized under Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act.

Everett’s mayor just issued new directives in response to future ICE presence: • Officers are instructed to take action if they observe excessive force commited by ICE/CBP • ICE prohibited from entering city owned areas • Everett police are required to record interactions

NEW: Everett pauses Flock surveillance program

John Sabey is an executive of the Sabey Corporation, which is a local corporation planning to lease more office space to ICE He’s also the Mayor of Hunts Point, a 457 population enclave where the average household income is $620,907

The Freeman Family is one of the funders against the tax on those making over $1M a year When Japanese people were placed in concentration camps during WW2, The Freeman Family snatched their land and developed properties like Bellevue Square

WA Republicans claim nearly 100k signed against the millionaires’ tax bill What they failed to mention is that nearly 36k of those are bots

Last night in a unanimous 7-0 vote, Tukwila City Council approved a 6 month temporary ban on new detention centers This wouldn’t apply to new ICE office in a building owned Sabey Data Centers. They gave $50K to Trump’s inauguration Tomorrow there’s a protest at Sabey’s HQ in Tukwila, 4:30-6PM 

The first two stops along the one line also happen to be the first cities to cancel Flock Let’s keep this trend going

Victory in #Lynnwood, WA! 🏆 The council just voted (7-0) in favor of terminating their #Flock contract! The item was moved up to the unanimous consent agenda by request of council member Mata given the expected result. Great work @deflocklynnwood.bsky.social ! 👏 #deflock #surveillance #alpr

NEW: Lynnwood, WA votes to end Flock license plate camera program in 7-0 vote

Tonight the Lynnwood City Council will vote on whether to terminate their contract with Flock Safety. If passed, Lynnwood could become the next major Western Washington city to end its use of Flock surveillance, following Mountlake Terrace.

Everett, WA will now arrest unpermitted food vendors and hit them with fines and possible jail time Meanwhile, unidentified masked kidnappers continue to snatch people along Highway 99 and face no jail time

The DHS shut down but ICE and CBP is still getting paid from that $75 billion fund approved last year Agencies like TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Gaurd will go without funding.

In case it helps: bsky.app/profile/autu...

Four Federal Way City council members caved to right wing trolls and voted to remove their council president for supporting a school walkout protest and standing up against ICE

According to WIRED, ICE plans to lease a new office facility in Tukwila, just 5 minutes away from the current field office. The building is huge, sitting on a 395,000 sq ft lot

There’s a lawsuit against the Tacoma Detention Facility for allegedly beating and sexually harassing detaineees. In one case, the Tacoma Police Department allowed GEO to investigate themselves instead conducting a proper police investigation

Today 3 WA House Dems joined 18 Democrats in joining Republicans to approve funding for DHS and ICE: • Rick Larsen • Kim Schrier • Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (shocker)

More school walkouts protesting ICE are happening this afternoon across the Seattle area If you pass by, show some love with a honk or a cheer

Senator Patty Murray and Rep. Adam Smith both take corporate PAC money from Palantir, the company that builds tech for ICE. Of course they won’t support abolishing the agency

Mayor Wilson just announced that Seattle PD will investigate and document ICE activity and share verified information with community partners ‼️ This should be the bare minimum everywhere. Every city and county should follow suit and the Governor should direct State Patrol to do the same.

Those thinking that Bovino’s departure was victory need to watch this video

There’s a new state bill being introduced. If the federal government withholds funds from Washington State for enforcing a valid state law, a proposed bill will let WA withhold federal payments

Two Washington house representatives have introduced a bill that would prevent Washington State Police agencies from hiring former ICE agents It would be called the “ICE OUT act of 2026”

This is why Flock should be banned outright. The safest Flock data is data that never gets created. The overwhelmingly amount of Washingtonians don’t want these systems

On 1/17 Roberto Garcia showed up to an ICE snatching in Everett and demanded to see judicial warrants. They arrested him. Roberto is an educator, youth advocate, a community voice, member and leader who dedicates his time to supporting the youth at our local schools. He is an absolute hero.

👇 The contract expired in December of 2025. Tell your local and state officials you want it gone and that you do not want any additional facilities. This is owned by a PRIVATE prison company. Land use and zoning laws exist, guys. There are levers that could be used. Demand it.

Draft documents show ICE is planning to construct a 1,600 person detection facility in the Seattle area

Washington state pension and tuition funds hold ~$128,581.44 in CoreCivic, a private prison company that operates ICE detention facilities, according to WSIB’s June 30, 2025 annual holdings report It’s a small amount, but not a single public dollar should fund ICE detention facilities.

Democrats: “we’re against ICE but here’s another blank check to increase detention center capacity for FY 2026” They’re planning a 10% budget increase for ICE. WA’s very own @senpattymurray is Vice Chair for the appropriations committee.

This is EXACTLY how Washington State helps ICE and Border Patrol by giving them access to Nlets, a database with all our license plate info. Why are we letting ICE criminals use our state’s data?

So far Washington State and local cities have helped ICE by: • WA DOL giving license data • Cities “accidentally” allowing Feds to access Flock surveillance cameras • And today, it was reported that ICE used a WSP database to search for license plates “Sanctuary state” they say

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Just now, ICE just killed a legal observer in Minneapolis and blocked a physician trying to render first aid. Be prepared to see local and national news stations regurgitate the lies DHS prepares in their press release

Attention: There will be 2 right wing initiatives on the 2026 midterm ballot in Washington State. Signatures were filed for state initiatives on parental rights, blocking trans athletes from girls’ sports. We cannot let those pass. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...
