The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

This tactic of politicians responding to journalists or members of the opposition who ask difficult questions about them with "how dare you!" is increasing among both Democrats and Republicans. Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell has used it repeatedly in his reelection campaign.

*To call for an end to the Palestinian Genocide

SquidTips - Aj/Alex 🏍 🦑🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @squidtips.bsky.social · 1d

Today over 100 students walked out of class to march though Seattle to end to the Palestinian Genocide

It was organized, peaceful, and had zero conflict with the police, so you probobly won’t see anything about it on the news

But remember that people are resisting, even if you don’t see it

Update, former Gonzaga Shortstop Gunnar Schubert clearly seems to be the person that thrashed the WA Capitol building

Scrolling his insta gives the impression he has not been in a good mental state for at least a week, with monologues that meander about math, electricity, healthcare, etc

The Washington State capitol was broken into last night and thrashed

Very few details at this point, but clearly another sign of the rising anger and resentment with government institutions

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.

The People's Fabric @peoplesfabric.com · 3d

Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

Katie Wilson for Seattle @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you to David Kroman and The Seattle Times for this great profile!

An image of the Seattle Times article by David Kroman headlined "Katie Wilson's Seattle mayor race: What to know about Harrell's rival"

A screenshot excerpt of the article that reads: "As an organizer of people, she views the major's office as the city's nucleus for coalition-building and effectuating change. "I do think that there is the potential from the mayor's office to just change the way City Hall actually works and executes things in a way that will really have transformative impacts," she said. Wilson's decision to drop out of Oxford sent her cascading through a series of low-paying jobs and toward becoming one of Seattle's most prominent organizers, a leading..."

A screenshot of the article that reads: "For Wilson, they say, there is no delta between theory and practice. "She has lived her life, from dropping out of Oxford onward, very much trying to live all aspects in alignment," said her high school friend Philip Chaffee. "And it's how I understood the direction she was headed even when we were teenagers."

A screenshot of the article that reads: Such was the beginning of the Transit Riders Union. For its first several years, Wilson was focused on transit, pushing for discounted fares for young people and preserving service on King County Metro. "She was hardworking, passionate and very good at working with other people," said Marci Carpenter, who served on the city transit advisory board with Wilson in 2016. Eventually, the organization came to broaden its focus.

Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors.

This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.
