And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

What’s happening with American media, American education, and America’s approach to places like Greenland & Honduras harmonizes with the “network state” movement (backed by Thiel, Lonsdale, Andreessen, etc), which calls for the construction of “parallel institutions” and “parallel societies”. 1/

Hello Thriends! I hate asking for things On Here, but here goes. With the ICE raids and spike in immigration based evictions in Illinois, the simple truth is that I can't keep up with the demand for my services. There are way more people who need a name-your-own-price lawyer than there are Sheryls.

NEW: Every time you see that a handful of Democrats voted for some evil MAGA bullshit, there's a good chance Washington's Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is among them. In the latest episode: strip searches and prisons for immigrant children! www.theburnerseattle.com/post/washing...

In Panama, Indigenous midwives say birthing herbs are becoming harder to find. Across the Himalayas, traditional healers report climbing to increasingly higher altitudes to find medicinal herbs that once grew in the valleys below.

TONIGHT: Coinciding with the winter solstice at 4:21PM, volunteers with SHARE/WHEEL will hold a vigil for the 245 homeless people who died in the Seattle area this year. Since 2022, the group has honored more than 1,100 people who passed away while unhoused or in public due to violence.

—I am so, so, so enraged right now, at all the ways my life has been put on hold, not by the pandemic, but by nearly complete abandonment *to* the pandemic on the part of the govt, public health systems, and most regular people.

Peter Thiel's cronies are freaking out about my book. Here's Garry Tan—an early Palantir employee who designed its logo—launching yet another attack. Make a tech lord cry! Pre-Order "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and The War On Democracy" 👉 www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

'Fac simile’ is a Latin phrase meaning “make alike.” 1600s: ‘facsimile’ was used to mean "an exact copy." 1800s: people developed facsimile technology that could reproduce printed material via telegraph. We shortened ‘facsimile,’ and now call them ‘fax’ machines.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns. www.axios.com/2025/12/18/t...

HAPPENING NOW: 100s of striking Starbucks workers and community allies are gathering in front of Starbucks's headquarters in Seattle. If the company continues to ignore our calls for fair contracts and resolving unfair labor practices, we'll keep getting louder! #NoContractNoCoffee

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is my favorite song about how people will only love you if you're useful.

This is why "vote blue no matter who" is bullshit. It absolutely matters "who."

Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

​"Palestinian babies freeze to death as shelters and lifesaving humanitarian aid—located just a few miles away—for 1 million civilians is blocked by Israel," noted one journalist.

Looking for an *L.A. based* artist who (against all odds) has time for a poster gig before the end of the year. It's for a science + art event. We can offer $500 for the gig. Dreadfully sorry about the timeline. Link a portfolio if you're interested, I'll delete this post when we found someone.

We need to "do something" about landlords, man. Whether it's the best bar in Midtown or your local art gallery, nothing worth doing; nothing generative; makes enough money to keep these wolves satisfied. How many "save our space" fundraisers can the culture weather? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

To help spread more whistles in the Seattle area, Venmo @kate-whistles. We track all donations and purchases here: tr.ee/wawhistlemath I’m hoping to order 40,000 Know Your Rights red cards this week 🤑

The Trump administration is reportedly trying to strongarm the International Criminal Court into changing its founding document to carve out an exception for President Donald Trump and his top officials ensuring that they are never prosecuted by the court for potential war crimes.

600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead. Quick summary by me:

I learned it from you, your honor. I learned it from you.

This is awesome and could be expanded. #sabotage #directaction

Trump is just an internet troll. When an unflinching, authentic humanist is standing right next to the world’s biggest man-child, and is consistent in his messaging, even in-person, Trump folds like laundry.

US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries. What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.

Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE. Here’s how to use them:

A reminder that the next meeting for the Seattle General Strike organizing is on November 25th (first day of the mass blackout) at 6:30PM. Washington Labor council office. 321 16th Ave S, Seattle. I implore everyone else to start planning too. #seattle #generalstrike

every other year feels like an odd year.

2025 What an odd odd year.

Bob Ferguson be at least as progressive as Kathy Hochul challenge

On the morning of February 6, 1919, Seattle, a city of 315,000 people, stopped working. 25,000 other union members had joined 35,000 shipyard workers already on strike. The city's AFL unions, 101 of them, had voted to walk out in a gesture of support and solidarity. #seattle #generalstrike #history

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

This Tuesday 11/18 come help us make whistle kits! We have three whistle kit parties happening on Tuesday evening, in Ballard, Beacon Hill, and Everett. Bring a friend!

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

There are no appropriate targets.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

"In 2025, the US is France. As impunity and lawlessness have grown in the US over the last several decades, it has also grown everywhere else. Even now, in the days of dwindling US status as a global endo-ideal, US news is watched more than anywhere on earth." #3E #EndImpunity 🧵

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
