Dear soccer amigos, I’ll be joining my goats 🐐 @empiregass.bsky.social & @mattdoyle.bsky.social for an immediate reaction to the USMNT 🇺🇸 game as soon as it ends on @firsttouch.bsky.social & @soccerwisehq.bsky.social YouTube channels. Hope you can join us! (Spurs in 7)

Police officers across the country are abusing their unfettered access to Flock's nationwide network of automatic license plate readers to stalk their exes. This is a dangerous violation of our privacy. Our communities must continue to fight back against this invasive surveillance tech.

Raúl scoring and dedicating the goal to his recently deceased father is why I love sports

NEW: The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit provides up to $15 billion in subsidies a year to help developers build apartments. It’s created housing that’s often no more affordable than the market rate. w/ @opb.org

We’re currently at the “Oil CEOs amassing corporate armies” part of US history in case you’re keeping score at home. But yeah, go ahead and vote for Becerra just because he’s brown. He’s the Chevron backed candidate 🙄

Overcoming a lawsuit and ‘lots of battle scars,’ affordable housing project breaks ground in East Long Beach lbpost.com/news/busines...

“In effect, today’s corporations and wealthy are hoarding the society’s resources for themselves, while starving the treasury of funds that are badly needed for repairing and strengthening the society on which their wealth depends.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

How I wish Long Beach would do this instead of bending over for crooked developers, granting exemptions so they don’t have to abide by affordable housing laws. Alas…

When a building enters the social housing portfolio, it belongs to Seattle and it stays that way. That is how you build a city that is actually stable. Not just for a decade, not just until the market shifts — permanently.

SUPER EXCITED to read about a new housing development going in in Pasadena. 133 units of affordable housing, half are 2-3 bedrooms, & 50 units are reserved for people who were previously unhoused, w/ supportive services on site. It's next to a bus stop, close to the metro, & has 55 parking spaces!

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Man, I’ve seen quite a bit of the younger squads in MLS this season but none play as excitingly as RSL this season. The game against Colorado this weekend really showed such versatility in the attack. Gozo and Solans had special goals. Mastroeni doing stellar work. Makes me think “baby bulls who?”

Kars4Kids ads make it sound like your car donations helped children in need. A California judge just BANNED the ads across the state because that’s a lie. Donations actually fund Orthodox Jewish indoctrination programs and matchmaking services. open.substack.com/pub/friendly...

A win! Florida will shutter “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention facility.

LAFC out of CCC, Lakers underdogs in the playoff series. Am I getting forced to be a ducks fans to back a winning LA team rn

All other owners so mad that FMF had given permission to Gallardo & Vega for just tonight’s game vs LAFC are so petty. Gallardo & Vega must report today by 8pm. Whoever doesn’t “will be out of the World Cup” So petty. *Great news for LAFC though*

when we pretend the issue with ICE is that they’re masked and untrained and ‘different’ from law enforcement, what you get is unmasked ICE in airports instead of any real change. latest: open.substack.com/pub/cohen489...

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium. The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike. Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

Somewhere, there is an accelerationist going “I told you so”

Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon all have headquarters in Seattle. This year the Seattle School District has an 80 million dollar shortfall.

Remember when folks were like "post a picture of you holding your favorite drink" or some shit and then those trends ended after AI was finished training off them

Daily Memo: The 15th Death In ICE Detention and ICE is Slowly Escalating ICE’s slow increase in operations is now averaging about 30 kidnappings per week in Southern California.

The claim that the absolute behemoth Amazon isn’t able to afford litigation is laughable. Avoiding the shame of loss, plain and simple.

I've been priced out of following any kind of sports casually. It is now a lifestyle choice to be into a team. Watching requires four different subscription services and checking for blackouts. Used to be a given that games would be on a local station. Another thing lost to digital feudalism.

A new shelter for unhoused people 55 and older officially opened its doors. It’s called Senior Bridges. What makes this place unique is that each of the 40 studio units are powered by solar and lithium batteries — effectively eliminating utility costs.

Seattle light rail is about to do something audacious and unique to transit “Audacious because no rail has been built on a floating bridge before”

While ADL and their supporters convene for their annual conference to promote genocide, we’re here to remind you what’s wrong with the ADL: Its actions increasingly reflect the racist, repressive politics of the Trump administration.

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

The Supreme Court:

FWIW, I just emailed NYT's standards editor to ask about the paper's policy on this. Will update if I get a response.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

1/30: A large crowd gathered earlier today at the Amazon Web Services Headquarters in Santa Monica. Protestors say they want to hold Amazon accountable for providing web services to ICE.

Hegemony protects itself. Be it white supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy. One system supports the others. They are all sides of the same coin, and if this doesn’t connect the dots for you, you might never think critically about this.
