I understand why people *want* the police to intervene--normies are like, 'I thought cops are supposed to arrest people doing crimes, ICE is right there doing crimes, go do your thing'

but police organizations take nearly every opportunity to be like, 'oh you misunderstood what our thing is'

Could not agree more. I don't understand why Dems aren't split up into teams, with groups focusing on different issues/departments. They could flood the zone just like Trump.

Also, highlight all of the correlation ls between his policies & rising prices.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

Your occasional reminder that Trump ran on lowering prices.

Honestly, this has made me feel more hopeful than I have at any time since January. What a revelation.

Let us dance with joyous abandon in their stupid facist faces!

I was completely unprepared for the threat posed by the Antifa super soldiers.

I think that very, very soon the marketplace will start to place a premium on verifiable, human-generated content. That's a good thing, but it'll also mean that it will, by definition, become less accessible to anyone who's unable to pay for it.

Knowledge is on the verge of becoming a luxury.

YouTube video by Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel

An amazing, surprisingly non-hyperbolic explainer on how AI could basically make the internet as we know it all but useless.

Right now engagement w/AI-generated content is a choice. Very soon it may become unavoidable. I'm starting to activeky block any channels or profiles that use any AI content.

I love it when a transit plan comes together!

Great engagement by the public & transit advocates + super awesome work by the seemingly tireless @councilmember-amr.bsky.social = such an amazing outcome for Seattle transit riders. Here's to more bus lanes!

“A top official in the office of Mayor Bruce Harrell, explaining the decision in private, voiced animosity toward the nonprofit leader who pitched the new location and signaled an end to city support for the leader’s program.”

The infamously vindictive mayor has vindictive staff? I’m shocked!

Is there anything more spooky than an on time bus in Cap Hill?!

Seattle Freeze Too Much for National Guard To Handle

Arctic troops tied up with NATO exercises in Finland.

The same thing is happening between Russia & India:

"Russia's Deputy Trade Commissioner Evgeny Griva said... that Russia has a 'very, very special mechanism' to continue oil supplies to India." www.reuters.com/world/india/...

This doesn't mean that the US Dollar will stop being the world's reserve currency in the short- or even medium-term, but it does mean that US's geopolitical power is greatly diminished every time one of the new finance channels gets opened up.

Exclusive | How China Secretly Pays Iran for Oil and Avoids U.S. Sanctions A hidden funding conduit has deepened economic ties between the two U.S. rivals in defiance of Washington’s efforts to isolate Tehran.

As Trump works frantically to decouple the US economy from China's, countries are developing pathways to facilitate massive international trade & investment that work around American-controlled systems.

Trump’s Immigration Push Diverts U.S. Agents From Drug, Money and Sex-Crime Cases Federal investigators are resigning, and morale is low, as they juggle complex cases and detain migrants.

Trump & his team don't care about crime. They're only interested in rounding up brown folks.

Your occasional reminder that Trump ran on lowering prices.

Any sport figure who goes to the White House after winning a championship to shake Trump's hand is un-American in my book.

Your occasional reminder that Trump ran on lowering prices.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Small nonprofit budget and Wilson got us:

-$1.5B in tax the rich revenue for affordable housing, etc.
-free transit for kids and human services appointments, low fare for low income
-big min wage increases in 3 places
-renter protections around the region

Harrell had billions and did far less.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Such fabulous real-time coverage. Thank you for your service, @chrisgeidner.bsky.social !

"The woman’s father confirmed she is an American citizen. “They are targeting us for being Hispanic.”"

My friend's nephew was pulled over & harassed by ICE on Saturday in Naperville. His Afro-Latina daughter was in the car & they were targeting her. Just abusing people across Chicago & the suburbs.
