ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S APPALLING. REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. LOVE, HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI (5/5)

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Sometimes you just need something to lighten/distract the dread.

This bill is just a carrot to give double continuing education credit to physicians to learn about perimenopause & menopause healthcare. It also requires insurers to cover appropriate care.

Girl, for real. I signed up for information on the Olympics in France and they had to have sold email because the last two months has been daily emails in French.

This fantastic Thanksgiving thread is worth your time.

Remember with this upcoming holiday season that this nation was accidentally stumbled upon and eventually founded by people desperately trying to find a short cut to the land of Spices. The least you could do this season, is buy some fresh ones, use them generously & use more then 5.

Aww, I love rides! But you can always hold my popcorn and beer. We're actually taking Dylan's 82 year mother to four days at Disney World in March - it was her idea. 😍

😍🤯Um, where could I find a milkshake flight? I'm sure Alaska airlines is having a sale (eventually) and I need definitely need that in my life!

a Katie Wilson campaign graphic that says mayor-elect Katie Wilson announces her transition director and co-chairs. and a quote from Katie Wilson that reads I ran for mayor on the vision that we can tackle big challenges, address our affordability crisis, and make our city a great place to live, work, and raise a family. now it's time to get to work. I'm so grateful to the transition director and co-chairs who have stepped up to lend their deep expertise in government, business, labor, housing, and community development, and help me put that vision into action

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

CM Alexis Mercedes Rinck is currently providing remarks at the budget committee as to why she doesn't support diverting Seattle Transit Measure dollars for transit service to Rob Saka's proposal for a transit safety czar.

What the actual fuck. Why is it legal for City Council to redirect the funds the voters approved and do pet personal projects? I'm not even sure how we stop Saka the Grifter from destroying our city further.
January can't come soon enough.
West Seattle WTAF come get/recall your guy, please.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

This is one of the most important yet least told stories in Seattle over the last 5 years: the steady scaling back of transit service, even as we expand light rail. We need to bring transit back closer to more people.

Very cool, I wish there were photos of the wrecks from the construction site. Also, like they're building a tunnel to improve their rail - get out of here with this in the future stuff.

100% said this and feel free to quote me on it. Also @jackiekashian.bsky.social is a fantastic comedian and you should see her when she comes to your town.

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

That looks cool! (no, and maybe!)

Awesome job mayor-elect @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social!

Not easy going on national media, but this was spot on.

I think when you know who you are and stay true to your values, it makes interviews like this easier.
