I believe there should be a no-burrito list. Spreading anti-immigrant views should get you 1 year on the list. No more burritos for haters.

ICE has killed another person.

Under a proposed rule for citizen measures in Missouri, all five popular initiatives that voters in the state have approved since 2020 would have failed, a Bolts analysis found. On Tuesday, Missourians will vote on the measure:

SPOKANE EVACUEES

Spokane Rising@spokanerising.com · 4d ago

Spokane Convention Center is now open as an evacuation site for any of the Spokane fires. STA is taking evacuees from SFCC to the convention center, for those without vehicles.

Absolutely incredible that Westneat and other critics of the mayor believe Shon Barnes was appointed by her and that SHE should have "worked out" his desire to travel constantly with him as part of his contract, when he was appointed by Bruce Harrell in 2024. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Seattle City Hall rarely runs smoothly. This week it hit new lows

The spectacle of the neophyte mayor and the frequent flyer police chief, both failing at their jobs when they were needed most, is not going to pass lightly.

Wakanda tariffs going to get doubled now

I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.

ICE’s Secret Weapon Is in Your Community

While attempting to maintain a relatively lower profile, ICE is managing to arrest record numbers of people. Here’s how it’s doing that.

I think this is a very good point. No one was impressed though. Perhaps I WAS a bit snide. I sound like one of the them. I am not one of the them except sometimes. It depends on who is speaking.

Usual American leftist misogyny. Women—mothers also—were involved in the French, Russian, Vietnamese revolution, were Sandinistas, Zapatistas, fought in Nicaragua and El Salvador. Upper middle-class leftist podcaster types associate women with unpopularity because they absorb rightwing ideas.

This is a metaphor so on the nose it hurts. Literally, they are removing knowledge from the public domain to feed their machines and permanently deny your access to it. The privatization of knowledge and information is their goal.

NEW: I dug into the court documents in the case of Andrea Shaw, the Idaho mother charged with killing her toddlers. Shaw insists they died following a set of vaccinations. I looked at how the anti-vaccine movement insinuated itself into this case and her life. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

She's charged with killing her twins. The anti-vaccine movement made her a martyr.

Andrea Shaw is charged with suffocating her toddlers. Children's Health Defense says it was the vaccines.

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

Nobody in China believes China has a democracy. People in China in fact believe democracy leads to the instability and "degeneracy" of the West. But somehow leftists with brains cooked on the internet still think China has a more representative democracy than the US.

also, "it's only fascism if it satisfies this extremely specific and historically contingent set of conditions" is the kind of frankly stupid wordcel game that you adopt when you aren't trying to describe the world but you are trying to hit back at people on twitter you don't like

DSA is on the upswing now because it is the one flavor of Democrats actually governing right now. It would be helpful if other flavors did too, especially if they don't want DSA to run the table.

I think a party that can welcome anti-Trump Republicans can also embrace members of the DSA. I think it should, actually

And always remember that ICE built its internal database on the Mobile Fortify App. Anyone concerned about their immigration status should not go to airports.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w ago

Last year, TSA began sharing passenger manifests with ICE, and ICE began arresting people at airports. After some initial arrests led to backlash, ICE pulled back a bit. But with the pressure on from the White House right now, we're seeing a lot more arrests at airports recently.

Nobody in the U.S. Senate is more responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade than Susan Collins. In November, we will defeat her.

DoorDash trying to end home rule for 700,000 people over a TWENTY CENT FEE

Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle.bsky.social · 2w ago

In a statement, DoorDash tells me that the council passed the "arbitrary" new fee without holding any hearings. "We have always supported home rule for D.C.," says the company. "But will continue to defend D.C.'s small businesses, local economy, and underserved residents."
