Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

As @oavotes.bsky.social shares in their testimony in support of the Driver Privacy Act (House Bill 2332), Washington should join the growing list of states that are passing common-sense regulations for automated license plate readers (ALPRs). Our safety depends on it.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Seems like signage could be simplified? The 2 line should say “Bellevue, Redmond”. The 1 line south should say “Airport, Federal Way”. The 1 line north should say “University of Washington, Lynwood”. Also, why do we call everything “downtown”? Those are suburbs

Alexis Mercedes Rinck, who's voting no, says "this contract doesn't deliver on accountability." She notes several accountability failures, including the requirement that a sworn officer lead misconduct investigations and the fact that misconduct requires an elevated standard to prove.
