This is underreported story. But it’s important.

Acts of domestic terrorism are predictably spiking in the aftermath of our attack on Iran - and Trump and Patel gutted the FBI counterterrorism team, leaving the country intentionally exposed.

Opinion: You couldn’t pay me to leave Washington state, and I’d pay more to stay My view on Washington’s proposed tax on very high incomes is simple: if I’ve found myself in the position of making that much in a year, I can afford to contribute a little more to the place that help...

In an opinion for GeekWire, local tech entrepreneur Brian Fioca says of the proposed "millionaires tax" for Washington state, "if I’ve found myself in the position of making that much in a year, I can afford to contribute a little more to the place that helped make that circumstance possible."

Struggling to square that the guy who started WWIII on a whim is also giving “if I find out who took my lunch from the break room fridge” energy here.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany Rodríguez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. 

Rodríguez, who was in the car with her husband — a U.S. citizen — has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, Rodríguez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and it’s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.

Something I don’t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. “Move fast and break things” but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I don't know about you, but if my daughter was killed alongside 84 others by American bombs, I imagine myself and those other parents would be more than tempted by anti-American extremism.

This is how you create terrorists.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Draft-dodging chicken-hawks love to talk tough (from their fancy, gold-plated beach resorts). But they have NO CLUE what war is really about.

We need a War Powers vote NOW.

You deserve to know who wants to send your kids to war to fight for Trump's lies.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

People don't realize that when newsrooms (local and national) get gutted, there is nothing to replace them. Nothing. There is no safety net of independent journalism to make up for what is lost.

You can see this in the thousands of communities that have lost local papers. They're always worse off.

Work computer is a PC now after years on a Mac and hands down my favorite feature is how sometimes “Sleep” is just sleep and sometimes it’s “shut completely down, close every app, take 15 minutes to boot up, hope you remember where you left off, and f*ck you for good measure.”
