Trump ICE regime forces are kidnapping former Afghan translators that risked their lives to help the US. The regime in coordination with corrupt judges is entrapping people. When they show up to hearings the corrupt judges dismiss their cases quickly to allow ICE to snatch the victims. #3E #StopICE

I love how Seattle electeds (Like Maritza Rivera here) implore people whose rights are being stripped away to “protest peacefully” Why is there never any calls by Seattle electeds for SPD/SPOG to behave peacefully? The violence ALWAYS is started by SPD. Our proximate risk is SPD not Trump.

Trump has utterly broken American innovation to benefit oligarchs. This reporting explains the massive layoffs in tech. But it's beyond tech: ANY R&D is impacted, which means American research is doubly hobbled by Trump: research $ are taxable & he's slashed research funding qz.com/tech-layoffs...

Seattle PD has an established protocol to disclose information to ICE. That runs through Mayor Bruce Harrell's Office. Neither Mayor Harrell, nor SPD will respond to questions about their ICE info sharing. www.hardpressed-info.com/seattle-mayo...

The physical assault of a United States Senator by federal law enforcement — for simply questioning a cabinet secretary — is a big test. The Senate can either assert itself as a co-equal branch of government & demand accountability or it can be docile & fade into the background. It’s a choice.

Wong headline. Should say, “After 15 years in office and 3 as Mayor, legislature forces Harrell to address speed of construction permits.” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I hadn’t seen this part of the video: these goddamn fucking fascist shoved a SENATOR to the ground and handcuffed him. This administration must be destroyed and EVERYONE in it prosecuted and Guantanamoed

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

The conservatives on Seattle Council are entirely unserious about addressing needs. They want more money to put cops in schools but don’t want to mitigate the harms from Trump cuts to food assistance

Who are we following on here Seattle for action alerts, protest updates, and all that is going on right now to keep our communities safe and secure and to protect our democracy?

Bob Ferguson is DOGE-ing Washington State. This is repulsive to see a Democrat gut our future

Every time I go to the Broadway QFC I’m reminded how it’s literally 20% more than other Kroger stores just a few miles away. It’s urbanist price gouging

Until Democratic mayors get their war dogs to heel, the narrative of “protesters are violent” will dominate and further American fascism. Protests are not violent until cops precipitate violence. Send cops out without weapons and EVERYTHING about the protest would change

Councilmember Bob Kettle is a 💩

It’s your move Bruce Harrell & Bob Ferguson. If you believe these kidnappings are illegal, then use our Natl Guard, WA State Police, and SPD to block these kidnappings Otherwise, you’re weak men who should resign

Democratic politicians and liberal pundits bemoaning the LA protests need to understand that as *their* failure. None of this would be happening if they had offered effective resistance to mass deportation (extraordinary rendition, in truth) instead of considering undocumented people expendable.

Imagine, just imagine, the response from the West if the Iranian government, in international waters, had rammed and then boarded a European ship, filled with European citizens, and taken them captive. But it's Israel, so it's all good. Our citizens don't matter.

The official DHS account makes a post that suggests they want to disappear the Menswear Guy, whose posts are so magisterial that they regularly eviscerate powerful politicians, because he told his story of his mother carrying him into the USA from Canada when he was a baby. Ghoulishly giddy stuff.
