There is a lot of screaming going on on the buses in Seattle today.

A Ukrainian woman is practicing English with her kids on the bus and it’s very rad.

It’s super stressing me out the way people are crossing back in forth in front of buses by 3rd and Columbia in Seattle. A bus can’t stop short like a car. When I was a bus driver I was so worried about killing someone every day. I’m not trying to victim blame jaywalkers *AND* a bus can’t stop fast.

If you want to know why Hegseth is panicking about reminders that there is accountably for giving or carrying out illegal orders, it’s likely because he knows he has given illegal orders to murder people.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

My mom is shaming me for shopping at Whole Foods and honestly that’s why I love her. I’m so grateful for parents who have strong values and righteous anger at greedy capitalism and all the human rights abuses going on right now.

I’ve been talking about being afraid of denaturalization since the 1st time he was in office; I sought legal council at the time. I FOIAd my papers to insure the government has them but if they are committed to getting rid of Colombians (or others) where will it stop?
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

National Guard aren’t ICE or Border Patrol. They didn’t sign up looking to harass and repress people. They’re volunteers, part time, in case of emergency. They didn’t ask for this.

West Virginia National Guard shouldn’t have been deployed in Washington DC.

Victims of the shooter and the president.
