‘The stakes have never been higher, and the goal has never been more clear:
Remigration now.’

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Shout out to local journalists @guyoron.net @amysundberg.bsky.social for your excellent contributions to @boltsmag.org
Bolts has pretty consistently been doing of the best coverage of state-level politics I’ve seen, in an era where it is needed more than ever. Well worth supporting IMO.
a Black Friday deal: it’s a great day to support our independent journalism at Bolts

We want to prepare for 2026 on as strong a foot as possible, and we’d love to grow our supporter count (at any level!) by 50 people today.

If you can—jump onboard and help us cover local politics and civil rights!

This is so deeply at odds with the vision and history of America. Take pretty much any ethnic or racial group that are part of the American mosaic America today - they have all faced the same accusation. The moment these accusations are turned into policy are some of the most shameful in US history

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.

If ST dropped accepting transfers from Business Passport, I could see a bunch of employers VERY quickly deciding to audit their purchases of those products relative to WFH/RTO policies…in a way we would not like.

Yeah I don’t like this at all. It also makes pay per trip with ePurse more expensive. Kitsap did the same thing with fast ferries (and dropped Passport support altogether).

It feels like a stealth fare hike and that’s not what we should be going for with fares.
