So fucking upset that I spent half a year or so working 80-90 hour weeks primarily to get Lisa Brown elected to congress. I was in meetings with her every other week, I know she's been to protests before, I know she knows how this works. Utterly despicable
Per data in this report, washington state had 1463 arrests by ICE between 5/21 and 10/15. 336 of those were from jails. Make no mistake, the carceral system in washington state is part of mass deportation.
With the whirlwind of changes in the immigration system, significant discretion has been pushed down to local police who collaborate with ICE and decide who gets sent into the system. Read more here: www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2025/12...

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.

Tell your county commissioner to cancel the contract with Flock. If you live in Cheney, Airway Heights, Liberty Lake or Spokane Valley, ask your city council member to cancel their Flock contracts.

The U.S. unemployment rate is at a four-year high of 4.4%. Now, try wrapping your head around the idea of a 43% unemployment rate.
That’s the reality formerly incarcerated Black women face, thanks to the prison penalty:

Apparently it was Sabzi from Blue Scholars and Common Market's birthday this week, two bands I probably saw like eight times each back in the day. Hadn't listened to this album in ages, it's so good.

Can't believe we have to say this, but tampons aren't contraband.
And yet in NY state prisons, body scanners (that COs demanded) are picking up menstrual products, leaving people barred from visiting with their incarcerated loved ones.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

Of the 1000's who showed up to protect our community members from being kidnapped only 9 were arrested and pretty much everyone who was arrested was from a marginalized community.
They also confiscated mikkis melodica and they still don't have it back.

I know that the fascism of it all is happening everywhere but it's happening here in Spokane. The federal govts case insists that the ice kidnappings of two local us citizens were "legal" and that people responding to a call to action from social media were plotting a "conspiracy"
The plea deal turns a potential felony sentence that could mean six years in federal prison and $250,000 in fines into three years of probation and a few thousand dollars in restitution costs.
Four of the Spokane 9 accept plea deals – RANGE Media
ICE protestors facing federal charges made a hard choice, but some fear a chilling effect: ‘They want to frighten people so they are afraid to use their First Amendment rights.’

This story is so much more than "people took a plea deal." This was a hard choice between fighting for what they believe in and what each person can reasonably endure. It's also a hallmark of our justice system to put people in that position.
