To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

Whatever you think of the trade return, this being the end result of the Quinn Hughes era can’t be seen as anything less than an abject failure by the #Canucks organization, from ownership on down.

I guess no one's going to see the Christmas decorations in Leavenworth any time soon, unless they're coming from the Wenatchee side.

It can take as little as 4 inches of water to stall your car.
ROAD CLOSED MEANS THE ROAD IS CLOSED
We still have several highways around the region closed with water over the highway. We close roads for your safety and for the safety of crews working to reopen the roads.
Remember, it doesn't take much to go from a splash to a stall.

The Nooksack River is a strange one, because when it excessively floods, it doesn't all go into Bellingham Bay like the river typically does. Some of the water spills over into British Columbia, Canada, & ends up in the Fraser River. Rivers typically stick to one valley, but the rare one doesn't.
At least four rivers reached record high levels this week, especially as rainstorms surged on Thursday.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)

I'm not usually a big filigree person, but this caught my eye. I didn't like how it was finished at the end; I was going to add a moonstone drop & remove the Hamsa. Then I found the pendant, which I just got, & it works perfectly. It needs repairs, anyways, so I'll swap the clasp & the pendant then.

The bizarre take Jamelle’s replying to reminds me, oddly, of the lens through which a lot of right wingers seem to see racism: viz., as being centrally about passing judgment on a white person’s inner soul, making them feel shame, etc etc… and really none of that shit matters.
i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.

So people don't want stuff behind a paywall (I get it!) but they also want to use ad blockers everywhere. How, exactly, do you expect the people writing the stuff you want to read to get paid? How does that work, in your mind? How is it sustainable, exactly? I'm just not sure, here.

Thursday was brutal for Trump on multiple fronts — Indiana, Letitia James, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, AP poll, et al. — but don’t sleep on the House passing the Protect America’s Workforce Act.
It’s the first time this year the Republican-led House has voted to undo a Trump executive order.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.
