Confirming/vouching this jail support info is valid. As this is often confusing: Be aware jail support is NOT bail support. Funds purchase Lyft/Uber rides home (or to the hospital), food, water, and whatever aftercare needs people might need as they’re released.

I’m hearing that people in N95s/passing them out at the protests are being told that if they wear them they’ll be asked to leave and uh…don’t fucking do this. Don’t make people decide between doing the right thing by showing up and getting a deadly pathogen. Don’t cede this ground to the fascists.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Hating other people so much that you become an ICE agent is fuckin' weird. If you hate people that much, get a job at the DMV like a normal person

20% of Seattle is foreign born. 50% of my neighborhood is non-white. I'm the child of an immigrant (albeit not the kind they're targeting). anybody in Seattle who thinks this won't be a big deal here needs to open their eyes and hearts

Good fucking luck with that. It’s summer time, we’re fully charged and it’s daylight until 10 pm. Factor in the hills and they’re gonna last 7 minutes

"we're only 5 months in and THIS is already happening, we're sunk" No, THIS happening now is exactly why we are not sunk. They jumped the gun. You let unrest cook all summer as you visit cruelty unchecked, THEN bring in the jackboots to clear out exhausted protest stragglers when the story is old.

As usual with these dust-ups she is retreating to the ‘compromise’ position that sporting bodies should make standards about transition. The problem is that THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Standards have been in place for years. Lia Thomas met them! The bigots don’t care.

Hey just so we’re clear - DOGE accessed and stole all of our data, gave it to Palantir, and now ICE is partnered with Palantir in order to track all of us Palantir is run by evil billionaire Peter Thiel. Truly, scarily evil.

On Tuesday morning, about 40 people gathered at the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle, which houses a federal immigration court. A few protesters clashed with police in an attempt to block vehicle access to the building.

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public. I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU. Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

It's just a violent military crackdown on peaceful protestors, not something serious like a magazine editor getting fired for being bad at editing.

People who venerate the United States of America while also ignoring all the “riots” it took to get here are incredibly fascinating to me in like a “ew, this might be gangrenous” kind of way

Gently: yes they are afraid of the "city" but they are also really afraid of the dusky unwashed Black brown gay hordes that the cities represent and have always represented in the American imagination.

This culture's undying commitment to getting each other sick all the time is mystifying to me. Even after the covid experience everyone's like "Heyy just gonna open mouth cough at this meeting for an hour, wish there was a way to avoid it but simply nothing either of us can do about it"

Pretty sure there was an election just a few months after those protests. So... the protests didn't affect THAT election, but did determine the outcome of the election more than 4 years later? Your logic is not logicing.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
