Hey Seattle friends: kids from several schools in the Rainier Beach area are doing a march in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Friday, January 16 from 9:30 am to 11 am, starting at the Rainier Beach community center. In this difficult time they're asking for neighbors march with them.

The moment that anybody outside the DHS apparatus gets inside one of these facilities without cleaning up beforehand, we're going to see things that even the most hardened and cynical among us can barely comprehend.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

Schumer has no idea how to meet the moment. This is a painful display of incompetence that tilts over into complicity with the fascists. He needs to go.
MS NOW: Why haven't you gotten a dozen Dem senators & NYC cops, flown to Minneapolis & said to the guys wearing masks 'We've brought people who know how to operate'
SCHUMER: You're right. We need police officers to tell ICE, 'You don't know what the hell you're doing. You need real police training'

Think you have to retire the phrase “immigration crackdown” when every major violent spectacle — at least those the news is choosing to highlight — involve US citizens screaming “Check my ID!”
As the Trump administration escalates its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents, business owners and immigrant workers. trib.al/zVm2mk5

I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

Very pleased to see Sound Transit make this rider-informed decision!
The new seats are (IMO) more comfortable, they're easier to clean, they dry faster, and they don't retain odor.
Bravo for the change, @sound-transit.bsky.social 👏

2,300+ passengers helped inform our decision to replace cloth seats with vinyl on Link trains—rated higher for cleanliness, comfort, and satisfaction. More vinyl seats are rolling out over the coming months. 🚆

It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Because fascism is the aestheticization of politics, destroying the aesthetics that underlie fascism is essential.

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.
Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

Can't get over this. The first whistle blows before he's even got his door open. Within 10 seconds they are swarmed, but the crowd just keeps growing the entire time. The whole city is physically rejecting these assholes. Never seen anything like it.

This machine kills fascists.
Every trip you take on public transit, even on diesel buses, reduces oil dependency.
Buses are significantly more efficient than cars, and many agencies like King County Metro and TriMet have transitioned to renewable diesel, that doesn't get pumped from wells.

Next month Sound Transit will begin simulated service across the bridge. During this phase they'll run trains as if in regular service to validate operations and systems.
✅ During simulated service ST intends to welcome passengers on trains between International District/Chinatown and Lynnwood. 3/6

Good afternoon from the H line!

The smooth ride, quiet drivetrain, and roomy interior of these older, heavier buses is such a pleasant passenger experience.
PaxEx wise, this generation was pretty much peak bus.

Let me be absolutely clear as a transit advocate:
Everything Pete Buttigieg did, as a (fairly competent) secretary of transportation, amounts to less than nothing.
If he can't see that this entire department needs to be abolished, in this era, he shouldn't be running so much as a model train set.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."
