Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated. The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t... (Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)

right - show up and fight like hell for what you believe in. If it's not enough then at least you built some capacity to try again and reach further. (from my pov i mean about workplace organizing but really, about everything)

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has said that her pumpkins act as self-portraits. The idea began as her parents owned a plant nursery and she has described the pumpkin as “a spiritual home,” a form in which she sees herself reflected #Womensart

kinda sad to read that the shovel attack on ICE didn’t actually happen, for a while we had heroes

love to finally kick back after a day of truly nonstop meetings to read another news cycle hijacked by deranged magas, eugenics pervs, frothing nazis

Ok, living through a massive corruption conspiracy in real life is weird. Movies usually portray them as highly competent, highly intelligent with utter secrecy when the one we're dealing with is full of so many dumbasses blurting out what they did that it's almost insulting. Useful, but stupid.

An AP review of crimes committed by ICE agents shows how their powers can be abused: One official admitted he repeatedly sexually abused a woman in his custody. Another is charged with taking bribes to remove detention orders on people targeted for deportation.

turns out we've literally been living in a world operated by grotesque comic book villains. epstein was on the whole spreading his genes eugenics stuff way before musk www.dropsitenews.com/p/jeffrey-ep...

Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in hearing room to stand and raise hands if they still haven't been able to meet with Bondi's DOJ. Every single one of them doe. Jayapal then gives Bondi an opportunity to apologize. She responds by trying to attack Jayapal and Merrick Garland but doesn't apologize.

And please thank lawyers doing this work. We’re carrying a lot of trauma for voiceless clients. We are tired. We have become experts in new law under the most dire circumstances. If you can, donate to immigration defense funds. They’ve been at it the longest and have the least resources. 30/end?

4. Medical malpractice. Here’s why I say stopping this detention-to Texas pipeline is life of death. An 18-month old hospitalized after nearly dying of three simultaneous respiratory infections. When she returned to the camp, DHS withheld her meds. 23/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it. The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after. I’ve had a front row seat. 7/

Interesting quote from David Graeber.

the screenshots from X feel like freak transmissions from an alien dimension

I’m curious how many PCEF funded climate resilience projects have actually been covered by local news? im thrilled WW covered this one! more please!

what we need to truly defeat fascism in the years ahead is for regular people to stop trusting moderate Democrats

The Governor and a bunch of electeds did a press conference after this telling Eugenians to calm down

im a freak for two way bike lanes in a contrasting color, these are just things of beauty, so much joy sparked every ride

me every morning: can I wear my fuck ice ride bikes t shirt to this particular work meeting

This should be a cautionary tale to all elected officials, district attorneys, police chiefs, etc to not take DHS at their word, and to stop spreading false narratives that allow them to manufacture consent for their cruelty. Every claim they make should be verified before being spread.

When Border Patrol shot two immigrants in Portland, they claimed they had ties to gangs. The Guardian later wrote a story exposing those claims as a smear campaign, but the narrative was regurgitated by city leadership that took DHS at their word. Now we see the true agitators in Eugene were DHS.

Hey hey a Depave project in the WW! a new climate resilient green space for kids, right on 82nd and paid for in part by Portland clean energy fund 🌿

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Anybody who wants to help reject an ICE prison camp in their community, this has some concrete things you can do to get the project killed

It was an honor to be recognized with my fellow Black elected leaders at the Blazers’ annual Black History Month game. Highlights of the night include meeting Blazers legend Buck Williams, seeing the SEI Elite Dance Team get down, and ending with a comeback win against Memphis!

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured” www.reuters.com/investigatio...

tues am commuting with night moves blasting on my bike speaker, just to feel something

That AIPAC magic no longer working. Politico email alert: "Malinowski vowed to oppose any candidate the group “openly or surreptitiously” supports in the June primary for the full term, and called on the Democratic Party to have “nothing to do” with the organization."

they are holding people in concentration camps. the people are starving, filthy, injured, in medical distress. the are *kids* there. ICE is killing and beating people on the streets in public view. and you are asking them to follow standards. get the fuck out of politics, you coward

Portland, Oregon: Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

one thing that bad bunny performance shows is the raw power of human-made art to bring communities together. that show was so human even the sugar cane walked

As ICE and CBP testify in Congress, we have updated our tracker of deaths at the hands of immigration enforcers. 25 have been killed with another 18 seriously injured, and there have also been 44 deaths in ICE/CBP custody. Wondering if this will come up at the hearing. prospect.org/2026/01/29/i...

"Whatever you’ve been doing, keep doing more of that. And if you haven’t been doing anything, now is the best moment to start. We’re a long way from finished. But we have traction, and we’re gearing up to do the real work" @andreapitzer.bsky.social degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/it-s-happe...

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

plenty of shitty little white guys on this website don't understand why people care about consequences for the epstein class

the reason we still fuck with the political system is because it is extracting 25-30% of our paychecks and buying bombs and tear gas. as long as they are doing that it very much matters that we start getting our people elected

TIL team trump drafted the death announcement before Epstein died www.yahoo.com/news/article...

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

I’m asking that you make these calls as well. Especially if you want to practice solidarity with survivors

Called Wyden, Merkley, and Rep Dexter and asked staff to pass along that lack of consequences in the US for a sitting president and cabinet involved in child sex abuse sends a very disturbing message to sexual assault survivors. They need to impeach based on what’s been revealed in these files

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

rfk should step down I am losing my mind about lack of consequences on this shit LOSING MY MIND
