What's remarkable is not just that Trump is so loathsome and narcissistic that he doesn't care when an innocent woman is killed in a protest unless and until he finds out that her dad was a fan of his ... it's that he's so disregulated he *can't help but say so out loud*.

Amazing bill. But fix the billionaire NIMBY carve out! www.instagram.com/reel/DTjBOUQ...

come on man www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

One of the defining features of our political era is straightforward conservatives pretending to be ideologically complex. Instead of absorbing this baldly obvious fact, this entire magazine is dedicated to repeating their own lie about themselves.

Inspiring! But I think going down to townhome zoning in a relative greenfield next to a light rail station should be ruled out. Height limits should minimally allow 5 to 8 stories. Add green space and limit lot coverage to create more livability. www.theurbanist.org/2026/01/18/o...

Now that the state is investigating Bainbridge Island’s Comprehensive Plan for compliance with state housing laws, this group could literally cause the city to be subject to the builders’ remedy.

Is that light I see in the sky after 5:00?! Glory be!

"ICE AGENTS VERBALLY ASSAULTED AT MN RESTAURANT"

"Too scared to join the military. Too dumb to be a cop." Citizen Ice. Amazing.

Amazing bill! But... the amendment applies in counties of 275,000 or greater. Basically a Medina/Clyde hill carveout. Why did the House allow this shit? Do they believe the rich should get special treatment? The roll call wasn't close enough to justify the giveaway. Take it back in the Senate.

About time! On to the Senate!

Katie Wilson issued an executive order today advancing Route bus lanes.

Mayor Katie Wilson is giving opening remarks at a press event in Beacon Hill. Her transition team is expected to make announcement about emergency housing and transit improvements.

Stage 5 pundit-brain is watching an innocent woman being killed by agents of the state and going, "hmm this says a lot about the urban-rural divide in America."

Seattle "ethics" board FINED Katie Wilson for getting childcare help from her parents. But it was cool for Bruce Harrell to use city resources to campaign & they won't investigate his brazen coordination with his $$$ PAC. Hypocritical, sexist, classist bullshit. www.tiktok.com/@rondezvouss...

I agree wholeheartedly. Just posted on Instagram about it. Please engage with the content (comment, like, share, comment on others' comments) to make sure people see it. www.instagram.com/p/DTgvM8cj8a...

This is unacceptable from an office that claims to police ethics. They pretended Harrell's sudden surge of activity on Seattle's social media during the campaign was coincidence. And of course it stopped on campaign day. Now they fine Mayor Wilson b/c her parents helped with childcare.

So far Wayne Barnett and Marc Mayo of the SEEC have refused to comply with Seattle law and investigate 2 elections complaints I submitted against Harrell PAC collusion: drive.google.com/file/d/1LfXK... Fundraising from city employees: drive.google.com/file/d/1Tj4C...

This is so so good

These are absolutely monstrous people "Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior DOJ officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent"

Tax the rich corporations to protect us from Trump. Support Shaun Scott’s well Washington fund. www.instagram.com/reel/DTdyEGT...

"Training" isn't the issue. It's the lack of any consequences. ICE agents know they can do whatever they like, brutalize or kill anyone they want, and the federal government will protect them. That is the core problem. You can't solve that with better training.

Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

A Renton city council committee is discussing legalizing neighborhood retail right now. A survey result that showed 39% of Renton residents want to legalize bodegas and neighborhood cafes on all city lots was just described by a staff member as "shocking."

The Federal government is publicly investigating what activist groups Renee Good might have involved in so as to justify her murder ex post facto.

Object lesson here: these fuckers knew they had no reasonable suspicion that this woman was not lawfully present in the country, their threats to take her to the car were hollow. (Not that that always will stop them; but no form of ID will satisfy them if they're intent on terrifying residents).

This is knowing your rights + nerves of steel working in tandem. So proud of this woman.

Amazing night celebrating progressive wins in North Seattle. 150 advocates, organizers, funders, volunteers and just voters from every corner of the progressive ecosystem. It was a joy to celebrate and to prep ourselves for the fight ahead to win the D5 seat, where big money will try to stop us.

Four ways to help stop ICE in Seattle. www.instagram.com/reel/DTbDh_O...

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

I think it’s more likely than not that we see the end of Fed independence and NATO this year.

This regime is out of control.

This is precisely how you should respond to a bullshit investigation. “This new threat is not about my testimony last June, or the renovation of the Federal Reserve Buildings… this is a consequence of not following the preference of the President”

Seattle will not sit down. Abolish ICE and prosecute all of them who have broken the law.

My ten year old son asked me a few months ago if ICE is like the SS. He’s a smart little guy. Join me in protesting state sponsored murder of civilians. www.instagram.com/reel/DTYbfnZ...

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

We can have trees & great pedestrian spaces when we let go of our excessive space for cars. Make the street one lane and one way for driveway access. Build big sidewalks and save the mature trees. There are some zero sum situations between walking space and trees. This isn’t one of them.

Alexis Mercedes Rinck's *margin of victory* was 5 TIMES Bob Kettle's ENTIRE VOTE TOTAL. He got 12k votes, not even enough to fill Climate Pledge Arena

JFC. A guy murdered a woman and it’s on Frey to “bring down the temperature?”

Agreed. This has serious let them eat cake vibes. It’s like the Seattle Times doesn’t understand the amount of suffering cuts cause, or the origins of the affability crisis.

If the capitol police reacted on Jan 6 the way ICE did in this encounter there would have been dozens dead

Well, I had high hopes for Saar’s on Aurora but just like Safeway they now preemptively treat people who arrive on foot or transit with a backpack like we are going to Do Crime(tm) and have banned backpacks. It’s frustrating how hostile just buying groceries has gotten.

Starting to feel like it's an explicit job requirement for political pundits not to admit the most consequential trend in American politics of the last 40 years.

What America saw happen in Minneapolis was not “self-defense” or “justified.” It was a killing of an innocent U.S. citizen by a lawless Trump agency. We need ICE out of our cities and truth, justice, and accountability for this tragedy. www.king5.com/article/news...

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER: “.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish .. “.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

I love this so much! Thank you Claudia for being such a leader on this forever.

Nothing says democratic legitimacy like bribing your colonial master with your Nobel Peace Prize so he'll declare you the leader of your vassal state.
