Please take the time to read this. People at the ICE concentration camp in Tacoma are asking to be heard. They are living in horrible conditions and the state is not doing anything to stop it. ICE has refused to let state health inspectors in multiple times. #seattle #tacoma #ice

I think America just craves South Asian democratic socialists.

Manifesting a crystal getting lodged in Spencer Pratt’s throat chakra 🔮🪷

good on him for not agreeing to lie about Renee Good, but the line they’re fighting over is already to the right of the truth. Throwing snowballs and kicking taillights does not make protesters “half” of the story about extrajudicial killings by paramilitary troops sent on a mission to terrorize.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

There are concentration camps in the United States in the year 2026. There are CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the United States in the year 2026. THERE ARE CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE YEAR 2026.

I impulse bought some unroasted unsalted organic cashews from Costco. Roasted those babies in coconut aminos, avocado oil, and paprika and they were better than I could have imagined. Today I made a broccoli mushroom cheese omelette and it also exceeded my expectations. Getting older rules.

Washington State:

The latest @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social on @martharoot.bsky.social’s whimsical, hilarious takedown of a white supremacist online dating site is a fun, uplifting listen, best pod I’ve heard in a long time. Tells the story of how people get indoctrinated and how to stop them. Go listen rn.

“we told you so” is unfortunately deeply unsatisfying in the face of what we told you

For any state AG or tort law firm looking to start a class action suit, Google's behavior with enabling Gemini API on Maps API projects and then shutting off entire corporate GCP accounts and disabling multimillion dollar-ARR businesses overnight is a pretty good target.

I started this as opposition research. A federal consent order. A managed account that isn't a blind trust. A Big Tech reform credential funded by Big Tech family foundations. Two Potomac millionaires running for a district neither of them lives in. The pattern is documented. https://bit.ly/4ufsE1j

The arc of the moral universe only bends towards justice if we bend it. There's no karmic comeuppance for fascists. There's just us. Community and hard work and a willingness to to take risks and fail.

I’m going on my Pride vacation, beginning tomorrow! I need $100 to cover my luggage fees, flight comforts, & food. I currently have $5. My airport arrival time is 4:15 am. If you can help, please give to CA: $KiiXeeExplorer Ven: @KiiXeeExplorer PP: venusselenitexo Anything helps!! Thanks! 😊

The American healthcare system is capitalist garbage but we could have Medicaid for all tomorrow and most of our doctors would still refuse to listen to anyone who isn’t rich, thin, white and male. Not sure how to remedy this but doctors admitting it is an issue would be a good place to start.

Something about that guys face gives me the same disgust reaction I get with rats and cockroaches. END ITS LIFE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!! I have love for all living things but that doesn’t mean I don’t cheer when my terrier finds a rat nest and swallows all the babies.

I STAND WITH THE PROTESTERS If a detention facility can’t withstand public scrutiny, congressional oversight, and media attention, the problem isn’t the protesters. The problem is what’s happening inside. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

Channel 5 action news has gone from actually funny Borat-style videos that allowed conservatives to accidentally humiliate themselves, to a fake serious news program where the host accidentally humiliates himself and platforms christian white nationalists. Inevitable w/ a rapist, really.

Is this a tiny endangered Garry Oak AKA Oregon White Oak sapling in my strawberries? Sent this pic to some local plant expert plants but I’d love others to weigh in! #trees #plantid #SWWA #treesky

The three people are: Jac Archer, Black trans organizer, law student, Co-ED of Spokane Community Against Racism. Justice Forral, Latine trans organizer & Bajun Mavalwalla II, Army Veteran who was in Afghanistan. See www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Last week, I was hating on AI slop to two coworkers, and one was coming back w/ all the pro AI talking points. We had a workshop later, and she busts out a slop graphic to use which had fake pics of the presenters, even tho we had actual pics. So corny, and inaccurate. Worse than clip art.

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

CBC News A human rights tribunal in Montreal heard the stories of two First Nations women who underwent forced sterilization. A new report suggests such sterilizations happened far more often than previously reported.

Yuko got a hat and she doesn't want me to take it off

When BNSF and whatever coal mine decided to run coal trains through my home town of Bellingham, WA, everyone was pissed. The Lummi tribe forced them to reroute their trains around the res. I trust the tribes more than our government 100%.

Video via @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social shows the silhouette of a person detained inside Delaney Hall as others unseen flash lights on and off, a sign that they can hear those outside, as a blockade of hundreds successfully stopped the transfer of a strike organizer. www.instagram.com/reel/DYvhDIM...

Watching the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka with the child and finally noticed the line “so shines a good deed in a weary world”. And oh boy does that ring true.

I slept for like 16 hours yesterday, woke up, couldn’t find my keys so I kept my kid home, had 2 big ass cups of coffee and started yelling at my coworkers about AI. Today’s been a wash.

As someone who has never really been able to afford living in Seattle, but who has had to work there, and sell goods there, I have a couple of thoughts about building new houses and bike lanes that I feel the urbanist community either misses or gets wrong 🧵

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

thank you @stephencolbert.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social for helping us all laugh during these frightening times 🙏🏽🌀🎶

A consequence? In my United States? It’s more possible than you think!

“Kat” Abughazaleh speaking after today’s crazy developments in the “Broadview 6” case

Run The Jewels opened for Wu Tang last year on my birthday, and I went to see them. I wanted El P to open Nobody Speaks with a bag of dicks in his hand more than anything.

If there’s any ex MAGA cultist the left should be embracing it’s Ashley St. Clair. She’s seemingly done an ideological 180 and I’m here for it. I want to learn from her, what changed her mind, how can we get through to others.

Tina’s version of Come Together far exceeds the Beatles in quality. And I love the Beatles. But she sang that song like it was meant to be sung.

The result of AI boosters getting booed at commencement will NOT be them getting a wake-up call about AI skepticism. They will just stop speaking at commencements. But that’s a small win!

🚨 The suspect who allegedly stabbed a 19-year-old Transfemme UW student to death on Mother's Day has turned himself in to the Bellevue Police Department

If a Burmese person cannot establish that they have a credible fear of persecution, torture or death that should prevent their deportation, then our laws mean nothing. They are less than dust. Tear down these kangaroo courts, defrock these counterfeit judges, and start again.

An ICE removal flight operated by Journey Aviation just landed in Myanmar--the second time this year. Migrants onboard will have been shackled for 19+ hours. Previous Burmese deportees were immediately sent to a nearby torture prison, per @jamesstout.bsky.social. gillianbrockell.com/three-craven...

This entire trial is bullshit. Eastern Washington doesn’t have a lawfully appointed prosecutor. It’s just like the Comey and James case. Trump has crammed one of his bootlicking Nazis into that position. People need to be LOUD. There needs to be protests and calls for the state to do something.

If you run a media “cooperative” that doesn’t have open and voluntary membership, you are violating the first cooperative principle. If it’s employee owned, employment is a valid requirement. Otherwise, you just made a media group with your friends, which is fine, but don’t call it a coop.

On Nov. 6, 2024, Edge Ops registered as a federal vendor. Last month, as we revealed at @levernews.com, it secured a $12 million contract with ICE to supply an analytic tool that ostensibly uses a “question based AI interface” to “map” ICE targets. www.levernews.com/inside-ices-...

weird.

Anyone who cares about reproductive care access should be extremely alarmed. They could easily do the same to abortion providers in blue states. They are testing this out on trans people hoping most people won't care enough about it to stop it.

Happy Mother’s Day to Renée Good. Today, we honor her memory, her courage, & the ultimate sacrifice she made. She should be here with her babies today, but her legacy lives on in the people she loved, the lives she touched, & the continued fight for a more compassionate & just world. 💐

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

We will find out in a few years that the Kardashian’s exposed Kanye to right wing operatives who convinced him when he was unwell, that being a black Nazi is the most subversive piece of performance art he could ever hope to produce, and I will be redeemed for still listening to Bound 2.

congratulations to extremely skinny blonde women for being Back up in the culture!!!!!!! that was probably a scary couple of months for you a few yeas ago huh
