The Cynics had five core principles:
1. Ἀρετή (Aretē) – Virtue as the Only Good
2. Αὐτάρκεια (Autarkeia) – Self-Sufficiency
3. Παραρρησία (Parrēsia) – Frank Speech
4. Ἀναίδεια (Anaideia) – Shamelessness
5. Κατὰ φύσιν ζῆν (Kata physin zēn) – Living According to Nature
These are the Way of the Dog.

Wow. He was removed from his position in a Seattle suburb for supporting a student walkout against ICE. Looks like sweeping change will have to come to the Federal Way City Council, and oust the 4 pro-ICE councilmembers.
On a 4-3 vote, Federal Way Councilmember Martin Moore was just removed from his position as Council President.
Longtime Councilmember Susan Honda was voted in to replace him.

Tomorrow night the Federal Way City Council will hold a special meeting to potentially strip CM Martin Moore of his role as Council President, because of a Facebook post Moore wrote in support of a student walk-out opposing ICE. That post has been seized on by right wing media across the country.

I have a theory that the home popcorn industry is responsible for a lot of our return to fascism. Once you convince people that they need more efficient popcorn at home via a single-use electric machine, you can pretty much tell them anything.

ICE is expanding their offices in a bunch of cities. The closest one to Seattle is Tukwila (where they already have a building) and it looks like these guys own the building they're moving into. I'm gonna contact them and see what they have to say for themselves. sabey.com/real-estate/...

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
