Do you live in WA State? Do you think rich people should have to pay their fair share to balance our horrifically unbalanced state budget and fund state services? Take two minutes and sign in PRO on SB 6346! The opposition is flooding the testimony! Don't let them!

Ugh. The main anti-ICE group in Washington which has 44k followers on Facebook and has been going around to communities promoting classes is now promoting this anti-whistle nonsense for "harm reduction" reasons as well.

Moira rose from schitt’s creek saying “never let the bsdtardd get you down” im so sad

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

They're the same picture.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

Palantir is spending its revenue from ICE contracts on our elected officials.

The top 5 leaderboard:

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

the micro-targetting of diaspora groups is genuinely getting insane

they made the revachol real and it's called Puget Sound

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

a perfectly normal-seeming grove in the italian countryside on a clear sunny day, a farmhouse amid trees surrounded by vineyards. there is no evidence of anything untoward in the picture.

in light of today's events, i want to share a story i was told during a study abroad summer in italy, where i took a class on the rise of fascism.

the picture below is the site of a mass grave. captive partisans were brought here by nazis, forced to dig, and then executed on the spot.

I’m horrified by the news this morning out of Minneapolis. I mourn for the victims, their family and friends, and for all of the families being torn apart every day by immigration agents. I’m also inspired by the ferocity of the community response there. Tens of thousands of people protested in the bitter cold. Neighbors have formed groups to monitor the activity of federal agents and share that information to help keep community members safe. I know we can practice that same level of solidarity in Seattle too.

I encourage everyone to connect with their neighbors and build networks to monitor ICE activity and protect their communities. I also encourage everyone to look to official city sources and organizations like the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network for the latest verified information. Together we mourn, we organize, and we fight back. I'll have more to say in coming days and weeks about specific actions the city will be taking.

I’m horrified by the news this morning out of Minneapolis.

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

I've found this resource helpful.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

miss Q of the cuntinuum over here

[me telling my story how I successfully led a commando raid on a cargo ship that was breaking sanctions] it was crazy

[friend who once got a text from me where I accidentally called the grinch the grink] was it onboard the grink?

PSA: Somebody is posting false reports to ICE tracking apps in Seattle. It’s possibly right-wing trolls or ICE themselves.

This one, posted today, included an AI generated photo of ICE at a 7-11. Use caution before sharing.

We lost Diana over the weekend. She'd been drawing comics about and for trans people since the 90s, and spent two decades teaching new artists how broad and interesting the world of comics really was. Always positive. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I won't share donuts with her again.

Digitally-drawn comic panel in tones of blue, showing a map of southern Minnesota with several cities marked: St. Cloud, Willmar, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Mankato and Albert Lea. Boxed captions say "We're an hour south of MPLS, a blue dot in the MN valley with a large immigrant population."

Digitally drawn comic panel in blue hues, showing an angry crowd of city residents in the foreground, silhouetted, a police officer sitting at a table and shrugging in the midground in medium blue, and a semi-circle table of council members sitting in front of 3 limp flags in light blue in the background. Captions say "After ice pepper-sprayed civilians in old town last week, we packed a 3.5 hour city countil meeting, begging the head of police to use their $2M budget to stop kidnappings."

Panel showing a person looking around on a street while removing a paper grocery bag from the back seat of a sedan, with captions saying "It basically feels like we're on our own. But we're tenacious. People are taking part in mutual aid and filling needs as they arise, regardless of weather."

Panel in various blue hues, showing the view from the driver seat of my car with my gloved hand resting on the bottom of the open window; an elderly person has reached out and placed one mittened hand over mine while the other holds a whistle. The elderly person has a speech bubble saying "You're here to help?" My speech bubble says "yeah" and theirs responds "me too." The captions say "I ran into myn neighbor, who I rarely see, when several of us were keeping watch at our local elementary school. Things feel scary, but not lonely."

My contribution (a little late) to the #ICEOUT #ICEOUTMPLS comic posts. My experience with ICE in my city so far, keeping the language as vague as possible to protect the groups on the ground helping people here.

Bipartisan Caucus of Prudes Push Age Verification For Sexual Content In WA Legislature If it sounds like a bill you’d read about in a red state, that’s because it is. A bipartisan coalition in the Washington State legislature is borrowing from policy “role models” such as Texas, Florida...

NEW: A bunch of Washington Dems in deep blue districts are legitimatizing right wing craze over age verification obscenity laws that endanger your privacy and free speech just to appease pearl clutchers and make kids sneakier about how they watch porn www.theburnerseattle.com/post/biparti...

Seattle is home to one of the nation’s largest annual MLK Day events, and I was honored to be there with my daughter this year. The national political climate is tough, but here in our city, the sense of warmth and community were strong. (1/2)
