Criminalizing homelessness has become immensely profitable. "It's an entire business model. By steering public money away from permanent housing solutions and into jails, detention facilities, and surveillance tech, the Cicero Institute's backers protect their wealth and expand their influence."

Sheriff Dale Wagner's decision to share inmate info with ICE violates WA's "Keep Washington Working" Act, a bipartisan law meant to protect immigrant communities. AG Nick Brown is suing him because we stand firm against those who break our laws to push for harmful and hateful agendas.

Trump’s handpicked crony just gutted $3.9 MILLION in WA's library funding - cutting off access to books, education, and rehabilitation for rural communities, tribal libraries, etc. Libraries are not political pawns. They are vital societal resources. We must always protect and fund our libraries.

Good piece by @pemalevy.bsky.social . How Trump is turbo-charging corruption with tariffs. He will impose them and then selectively ease them if companies and CEOs bend their knee. He will destroy the economy for personal political power. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump fired at least three senior National Security Council officials at the urging of far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. The firings came a day after she provided a list of administration personnel she considered disloyal to him.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on YOU. Higher prices on almost everything from groceries to cars will hit hard-working people where it hurts - right in their wallets. Time and time again, Trump proves he doesn’t prioritize the working-class.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

Donald Trump just signed an Executive Order to “remove improper ideology” from The Smithsonian Institution. This applies to museums — which, presumably, will be purged of exhibits that do not reflect the administration’s right-wing authoritarian agenda. The order also applies to the zoo.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.
