Star trek yes please and thank you. Working on my shit. Former courtwatch organizer. Former regional field director for the WA dems in 2018 (was working to elect Lisa Brown). Posting criticisms of spokane government - The police are defunding Spokane
Pinned
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

Also let's pause to notice that if the suspect were a white Christian veteran, most of the discourse would be about "mental health," and maybe guns, rather than the racialized category of terrorism

This is appalling and wrong.

AND, Biden deported Haitians to similar conditions throughout his term, including 20,000 people in a single month on 193 flights, which was until recently the record.

Fight for these human beings, and keep fighting for them if/when the Dems return to power.
DHS has announced the end of temporary immigration protections for Haitians.

The decision, effective Feb. 3, 2026, affects up to more than a half million Haitians. They now face returning to a country plagued by criminal gangs that control all major roads into the capital Port-au-Prince.
Trump says Haiti no longer meets requirements for TPS. Haitians have to leave
The Department of Homeland Security said TPS for Haiti ends Feb. 3, 2026, affecting over half a million people who may face return to gang-controlled Port-au-Prince.

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

Amazing reporting from Range, and not that I trust the local cops, but holy shit. 95% of searches being non local is wild

If you’re surprised, you should probably learn more about what prisons and jails are actually like in this country.

Like I don’t mean this as a gotcha. I mean if this shocks you, you should really look more into it. We need more people who want to change this.
A @nytimes.com investigation has found that state prison guards have been credibly accused of engaging in such behavior — putting inmates in restraints and then assaulting them — far more often than was previously known.

Being moved to this prison means non-contact visits with family, isolation for up to 24 hours a day, and just four 15-minute phone calls a month.

These conditions are so inhumane that one of the 37 commuted by Biden wishes he had never even received clemency:

Cops killed about the same number of Black people in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020. 2019 was slightly more.

There was another jump in 2021, setting a new record.

2022 higher than 2021. New record.

2023 higher than 2022. New record.

2024 higher than 2023. All time high.

2025 is back down to 2016.

Klitzke said this has been a tough process and she "didn't get everything she wanted." She said that they weren't going to cut all council staff and she doesn't know where the temporary/project employee thing came from (the budget meeting last Thursday, happy to post the recording).

Council just decided to pass a new compromise amendment adopted as an emergency. That means the public will have to testify on a budget amendment they’ve never read.

So we’re tapping the sign 👇👇
Just realized I hit two years of covering local politics, specifically the Spokane City Council! Here’s a few things I’ve learned:

1. Everyone hates declaring an emergency to bypass the regular public process until it’s for a thing they personally like.

Someone much more centrist than me said, "It's like the Democrats hate the left more than the GOP."
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Oh shit range coming in hot! Seriously though, these staff cuts are so bad. Hopefully the Wilkerson/Dillon ammendment will pass. If council members want to fire staffers they should do that through the normal process and not hide behind budget cuts

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
