Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

this is really just gonna end with a national mandate requiring us to eat soybeans three meals a day

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. Read @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social's award-winning investigation:

Found the quote. Wilson was talking about Harrell using one-time funds to fund projects that are important and should be funded long-term, specifically an extension the Lake City Farmers Market and the expansion of Fresh Bucks." Nothing about Harrell's vague reparations proposal.

Everything Harrell is saying during this campaign makes me even madder that he ever became mayor. He is not an honest person. And why can't he say Katie Wilson's name?!

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity. msf.org/msf-denounce...

Statement with alt text/transcript.

"Connect Seattle"—no, not by getting to know your neighbors or volunteering to help people struggling to live here, but by adding your home porch cam (what, you don't have one! You haven't been watching enough local TV news!) to SPD's growing surveillance network. communityconnectseattle.org

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Would like to know where UC alums can sign in support of this. (proud banana slug '96)

Yup. The small company I work for doesn't provide insurance and I could end up with a huge increase if subsidies go away.

I just cannot believe that with all the shit going on in the country our mayor thinks fighting graffiti is the cause that needs increased city investment. The Feds are pulling vital funding all over the place, and we’re gonna increase the budget line for graffiti abatement.

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl.

As a coalition of billionaires, landlords, and real estate developers invest more than $1.2 million in Bruce Harrell’s re-election, local progressive leaders Pramila Jayapal and Teresa Mosqueda are announcing their endorsements of Katie Wilson.

Here's what worked piunikaweb.com/2025/10/02/g...

What an utter disgrace. Noem's actions to "vacate" Secretary Mayorkas' grant of TPS over the direct command in the statute that no early termination can be done was flagrantly unlawful. And yet the majority offers not a SINGLE word of explanation for why they think she could do that. Shameless!

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

ICE is out of control, and we must hold them accountable for their abuses of power.

BREAKING: SCOTUS (again) allows Sec. Noem to proceed with ending Temporary Protect Status for more than 600,000 Venezuelans, over the objection of the three Democratic appointees.

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not. “Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

An Andrew Tate and Charlie Kirk fan just murdered two teenage girls. In a livestream now taken down he claimed they had made fun of Charlie Kirk's death. This is the real world consequences of the hate and misogyny the right promotes while claiming the left is violent.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road. "Just trying to grab some lunch and these fucking losers showed up. FUCK ICE!" source: www.reddit.com/r/LoganSquar...

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Execs at Oracle, the likely new owner of TikTok, are VERY outspoken in Israeli media about the company's "mission to support the State of Israel" & "unequivocal support for Israel." Insufficiently pro-Israel Oracle staff receive mental health counseling. responsiblestatecraft.org/oracle-tikto...

I continue to discover new things about the bad I can wish on other people, like for instance this bitch.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Bruce Harrell makes his closing statement for why he should keep his job after his poor performance as Seattle Mayor and this line says it all. "This is not the time to hope."

If anyone wants to read that DOJ report they deleted, the one on how far right extremism is behind so much domestic violence, you can find it here: web.archive.org/web/20250911...

DHS posted their response on X: “To be clear: We will NOT comply with Gavin Newsom’s unconstitutional mask ban." LAPD has kept quiet, following several L.A. TACO requests for comment. By Aisha Wallace-Palomares The full story: lataco.com/masked-law-e...

Reporter: “How important do you think Black & Hispanic voters are to you winning your campaign?” Jack Ciattarelli, Republican candidate for Governor of one of the most diverse states in the nation: “Next question.”

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

This should be getting as much attention as Jimmy Kimmel

Apple agreed with the Trump admin’s demands that they remove apps that helped people track ICE agents from the Apple Store: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

Heeeeeyooo guess what little girl had a CLEAN 4-month post-amputation chest x-ray??? This one right here! #osteosarcoma #houndsky

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

I truly wish for Trump and his flunkies all they so richly deserve.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Director Kash Patel fired an agent in training for displaying a gay pride flag on his desk while appointed to a field office in California last year, according to three people familiar with the matter and a dismissal notice reviewed by MSNBC. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/k...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

if you don't WANT to say stuff like "sawing up a journalist you murdered and stuffing his body in a suitcase is bad" then i guess you can say whatever you want, sure is a lucky coincidence

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?
