A Washington State Supreme Court Justice Condemns Federal Indian Law as Racist and Awful "Each time a court cites a case that has as its foundation such racist fallacies, it is incumbent on us to call out that racism, even if just in a footnote."

I participated in a training from Sal Mungia and I can say he's such an amazing lawyer and person. (And justice!)

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Oh wow. This feels like an important milestone.

He is part of a masturbation pact with his son.

When the most threatening thing you’ve ever seen is a naked bike ride?? I don’t even know, man. He’s clearly trying to force this narrative of scary antifa warriors, but Portland’s just knocking the narrative deconstruction out of the park. 🩵🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤 Keep it up, babes.

See you Saturday in Columbia! #nokings #indivisible

katherine dee is herself a reactionary who has written for TERF blog fairer disputations. her bio there cites her work at american conservative, unherd, and the washington examiner. interesting how the bio she chose here doesn’t reflect that bias. the work itself features no actual citations

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

The feeling of the Gazan citizen now is that he survived and will not die from the missiles, and also his feeling that he literally lost everything.

seattle is nowhere close to meeting its climate goals

under harrell we have basically zero climate leadership.

we need a massive transformation - in mobility, in climate adaptation, in quality of life & public health - one that only @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social can deliver

When I was working for Curbed I toured a new MFTE building and they told me that a lot of single moms live there and I mentioned that it's great that they had 2- and 3-bedroom apartments and they said "oh most of the single moms are in our urban one-bedrooms."

I don't understand why U.S. reporters so regularly seem to let politicians get away with 'I haven't seen that' about stuff a) they obviously know and b) is directly relevant to their job. Did they sign some kind of agreement never to ask a follow-up question?

This seems fake but it's completely real: Audio of Seattle's current Mayor dreaming of a giant computer-simulated Martin Luther King, something the King family has explicitly asked people not to do.
Big thanks to Erica Barnett for being the only reporter in town covering these events so closely!

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

The notion that those who took part in slavery or conquest were merely abiding by the moral standards of their time necessary excludes those they targeted and kidnapped from those standards; *they* were never confused about this. But other white people were frequently disgusted by this stuff too!

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

The NYPD's Watchdog Is Tossing Out Lying Cop Cases—Then 'Hiding' the Data from the Public The agency tasked with holding the NYPD accountable is letting cops accused of lying to its own investigators off the hook.

In 2019, voters empowered the Civilian Complaint Review Board to bring misconduct charges against cops who lied to the agency's investigators. But the board is tossing those cases out at a surprising rate, and public data conceals that fact. What gives?
