My partner has suggested that the only way any type of police force could be considered legitimate, is that it needs to be democratic If we are gonna have an overseer class, we need to have a direct say in who is gonna operate in that capacity That's the only way to ensure real accountability

This is such a critical thing most people don't know about their local cops; Most don't even live in their community, and it matters A Seattle Lawyer told me that it's well known that cops with rightwing politics take jobs in Seattle to 'bash queers' AKA like Officer Mark Rawlins

This is spot on. Fascinating that his home city of Chicago requires all police officers to live in the city, not just the police chief. That reforms a lot

Notable to me that almost every element of the MAGA agenda is designed to produce this outcome: ▶️ Tariffs ▶️ Overseas wars ▶️ Deportation of workforce ▶️ Erosion of food safety standards The idea that Trump would, or even cared to, reduce the cost of living was a delusion.

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

Our thoughts are with those in Madison who have been taking action in memory of Corey Ruiz, doing their best to ensure that police cannot murder people with impunity. Resistance to ICE and resistance to police must converge. It is the same struggle. crimethinc.com/antipolice2025

Community members are re-liberating space tonight from killer cops in Madison, Wisconsin. Here’s a still image from a live feed filmed about an hour ago, community members can be heard chanting, “Say his name, Corey Ruiz.”

I’ve been so busy I forgot to share that I played a very minor role in the newest Philosofree video about anthropocentrism Chad Marx is such an amazing creator, and great guy, you should find some time to check out this video where I play I trilobite with a BIG’OL DICK! youtu.be/BF2gZrmCgwE

Stand tall, SF. 👏

a banner found above the front doors of the police HQ in Madison, Wisconsin this morning stated: “Arrest the killer cop, 608-266-4211.”

Embarrassing, really

Kettle said Wilson is responsible for "failing to keep our city safe." Hollingsworth responded calmly that she's trying to be practical by spending money that's just sitting around. Then Rob Saka also got emotional. They're both confident that no analysis is needed, given that shootings are awful.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

ICE ran to the Everett Police Department yesterday when community members followed them while attempting to abduct their neighbors Despite what elected leaders claim, local police departments are collaborating with ICE in Washington state, and this will continue until they are all held accountable

“Why do you think we have to fly people in from 2,000 miles away to be police chief? SPD officers are obviously total dipshits—gah, get a freaking clue, Katie,” said Councilmember Bob Kettle.

Activist frens I have a question; Do you use data classification in your organizing? Why or why not? IE; Do you have standards for data sharing to help communicate the sensitivity of the data being shared in Signal chats, at meetings, etc?

This is tough to see for a cool, weird town I love. Thinking of you, Spokane.

KUOW says that "influencers" like me are the reason you should give them money. If you want "police say" statements, I guess go for it. If you want deeply sourced, in-depth investigative reporting by someone who's been a journalist in Seattle since 2001, support PubliCola! publicola.com/support/

“Conservative” politics in America have simply become a competition for who can say the most outrageous and provocative shit, while successfully baiting more famous people into beefing with you publicly. It’s almost as if this is the logical outcome of nominating a Reality TV star for president.

As far as I know Shon Barnes never looked at the video of my targeted arrest, never engaged in conversation about the clear conflict of interest that the officers involved had against me, and now that I know he was a part-time police chief none of that is surprising Fuck him youtu.be/sDtHIaFU5hw

Let me show you what the cops tried to hide

Meanwhile, it is quite clear that among the reasons it took so long for the scant available information about the shooting to reach the press Sunday night was because Barnes, who was at one of his many conferences, wanted to be briefed before SPD would say anything publicly.

And of course, the many anti-LGBTQ actions under his leadership, including attacks on pro-LGBTQ protesters against an anti-trans rally, his decision to promote an anti-trans cop who nearly ran over protesters in 2020 over a well-liked gay officer, and cops hassling sunbathers at a gay nude beach.

For the past 19 months, I've been covering Barnes' controversies, including the fact that he is out of town much of the time, his lengthy refusal to meet with the head of our CARE Team, his decision to vastly expand his executive staff, his taking of a $50K bonus meant for rank and file cops....
