memantine mori

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

"Sánchez’s youngest son, a third grader, could not accept for days that his father was gone. He kept asking adults if his father could have survived the explosion, noting he might still be at sea."

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

*Women receive substantially lower "potential" ratings despite receiving higher performance ratings
*Differences in potential ratings account for half of the gender promotion gap
*Women’s lower potential ratings do not reflect future performance: women subsequently outperform male colleagues

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

Thank you for a terrific actionable email! @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social

‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

Journalists for NYT document tortures to dozens of Venezuelans Trump sent to El Salvador earlier this year.

The piece is based on the testimonies of 40 people and on doctors who said their injuries are consistent and credible

Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

HUGE NEWS! Because of Democratic pressure, Oregon SNAP recipients are reporting their cards have the FULL November benefits!
 
Everyone who called out Trump for using hungry children and seniors as a bargaining chip has WON with tremendous results!!

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Trans rights are also your rights because they're the same fucking rights.

Seattle Public Safety Survey Seattle Public Safety Survey

The Seattle public safety survey that has long monitored citizens trust in the Seattle Police Department is open until November 30th. I highly recommend everyone take it. They usually send these out to white, affluent neighborhoods 😃 #seattle #pnw #acab

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view. The Department of Homeland Security later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.”

"If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter."

For people not from the area, Tumwater is just south of Olympia—a 1-1.5 hour drive from Seattle (depending on I-5 traffic). I hate that this stuff is happening anywhere, but especially so close to home.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

🧊✈️ SEATTLE SURGE 🧐

This is the third day in a row that ICE Air has visited Seattle, with two flights on Thursday, and one each Friday and today.

Strong indications that a massive ICE roundup is underway in the Pacific Northwest ⤵️

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

At a presser on this, Erol Kekic of Church World Service (which has long helped the govt resettle refugees) says "we don't actually see a pathway for people who flee religious persecution" to be US refugees right now.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, also on the call, says it may be a point of bipartisan outcry.

This morning in court, we're making our case for why the president’s federalization and deployment of National Guard in Oregon is unlawful & unnecessary.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

Extra-legal killings are bad.

Extra-legal killings of people who are drug smugglers is really bad, since they could not be executed if arrested.

Extra-legal killings of people who are MISTAKEN to be drug smugglers is a necessary consequence of a policy of extra-legal killings.

Come for the protest frog.

Stay for the rabbinic commentary on the Egyptian plague and debate about "one frog."

I love it!

Seriously, read the alt text.

Per @chicagotribune.com, the pajama-pants-guy is a former county prosecutor.

And he had some things to say. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

For an administration that came out of the box threatening Canadian independence, Greenland’s sovereignty, the Panama Canal, etc., it sure has a glass jaw. 🤡

Photo of a bunch of whistle kits. Each whistle kit is a small plastic baggie with a zine and a whistle. The zines have whistle art and say “form a crowd, stay loud” and “protegernos unos a otros” Some of the whistles are orange plastic with orange cord, some are classic metal with yellow cord, and some are cylindrical colored aluminum with key rings.

Tomorrow Friday Oct 24 join us for whistle kit assembly!
