1/ It’s heartbreaking how often we're trapped by the “taxpayer money” myth—the idea that taxes are just your money being taken, not our resources being pooled. That frame narrows imagination before debate even begins.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Every new candidate that is running under the GOP banner is running with the full knowledge that being a horrible person willing to do horrible things is the job description. Think about who that job description attracts

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many. The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

"Every scrap of progress has been torn from my clenched talons by citizens who loved me more than themselves and their neighbors more than me."

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Morning Spew for Night Owls—Supportive housing, continued outreach, reiterating existing Code Blue protocols—the next few weeks are going to be cold. What can the Mamdani administration do, and what is it doing now, to keep more people from dying outside?

No lie, Jody Allen reincorporating the Seahawks into a publicly owned nonprofit, like the Green Bay Packers, would be such a baller move. I'm pretty sure she would still do just fine, and what a legacy that would set in stone for the entire Allen family.

The people of the city of Seattle should form a charity and then the Allen Trust can sell it to the the people of the city. What a signature ending to the Paul Allen life and journey

Abolish ICE and your career.

some Public Service Journalism: I took that Minnesota judge's pdf list of court orders that ICE violated, found all the cases on CourtListener and linked to the dockets reason.com/2026/01/30/j...

Oh, and do not tell me that they don't have the numbers right now. We are in a midterm election year. GET the fucking numbers by telling us you'll actually stand up for us. Or sit down and let someone who wants this to change to do it.

the trans agenda..

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Was on the phone after the Seahawks game with my mother ( big Ravens fan) and thanked her for letting Mike Mcdonald come to Seattle so we could go to the Super Bowl “Who” “What did he do?” “Oh okay, you are welcome honey” 🤦‍♂️❤️

Seahawks….

I’m at a Bears bar in New York City watching the Seahawks. Love it

We're getting a snowstorm tomorrow. But New York City is prepared.

Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use — and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians. Post your photos and videos of all the #sneckdowns you see and tag us and @mayor.nyc.gov so today's winter wonderland can inspire better streets year-round!

look, anyone can sing kumbaya while looking out for their neighbors in an arctic freeze with armed and hostile agents of the state breathing down their neck. it's the anonymous posters advocating violence who do the real work.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

You mean we get to have mass shootings AND secret police that shoot us in the face for no reason? Now that’s freedom

I have had parking tickets I have neighbors that I am concerned about I have interest in my community being free from rampaging unaccountable gunmen How about you?

This is a rep that is doing something. Encourage her to encourage others like her

If the Klan doesn’t even want to see your passport, what makes you think they care about your permit?

We are now paying the Klan’s salaries.

Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE. 📷️: Sydney Lewis/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Democrat senators tell you they are doing everything they can to oppose Trump when in fact, they fast tracked almost all of his cabinet nominees and got his cabinet confirmed in record time. See my guide on unanimous consent:

FWIW: Golden is retiring. The filing deadline has passed in NC; Davis is the only Dem running. The filing deadline has passed in TX; Gonzalez & Cuellar both have primary opponents. Gillen has several Dem opponents as well, as does Perez. If you want to primary Suozzi, you still have until 3/30.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Everybody's calling Assigned Media "the best little news site on the internet," but how will this scrappy team of journalists survive a new year of untold horrors? With YOUR HELP, of course! That's right, get hype everyone for the 2026 start-of-year fundraising drive!

Grass isn’t going dormant, trees blossoming. Very beautiful and troubling

Time to pull Purdy. I mean I love this ass whooping, but you can’t leave your $50M a year QB in a game like this. Seahawks are gonna hurt him.

Pour it on!!! 😂 Now warming in the Seahawks bullpen, Drew Lock!

KW3 is playing his ass off for the Seahawks tonight

Sam Darnold has no spidey-sense 🤷‍♂️

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

All Minnesota has to do is bribe Trump to stop shooting and beating its citizens. That’s how the US works right now.

Lumen's going to be PACKED today. Dodge traffic, high parking fees, and celebrate with your fellow 12: take the light rail, Sounder, bus, or walk, bike & scoot. Gametime is 5 PM, so plan ahead now. GO SEAHAWKS!
