SPOG hates the unhoused and abuses people in crisis. Cops hate handling calls that require social workers, but their union refuses to make way for alternative responses. This isn't a working conditions issue. Force the issue and expand CARE.

bit.lyThe future of CARE in Seattle: What unarmed response looks likeEven though Chief Amy Barden is the head of Seattle’s police alternative — the Community Assisted Response & Engagement department, or CARE — she’s not a prison abolitionist.

Seattle's RV ban makes the housing crisis worse by providing no useful alternative. Safe lots that do not require RV users to disable or abandon their vehicles are desperately needed in Seattle, not more citations and sweeps.

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

Miami Herald@miamiherald.com

Last month, U.S. officials warned Haitian authorities to expect an increase in deportations following the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to allow President Donald Trump to end Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status designation even while litigation challenging the termination continues in the courts.

Bingo! But too many of us are getting up in the morning and putting on ICE costumes. THOSE clowns have COMPLETELY missed the entire point of being a proud American! The good news is there's FAR more of us than there are of them!

Imagine being a kid and learning both your parents were arrested by ICE. You’ll have to pay rent and survive on your own. I shadowed four siblings—US citizens near Mar-a-Lago—as they try to do that. I'll be thinking about their story for a long time 1/x www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

motherjones.comICE took Mom and Dad. Now the Perez kids are home alone.Four American siblings left to fend for themselves—and they're not the only ones.

School vouchers have always been meant to undermine if not destroy the public education system with two goals: (1) limit who can get an education and (2) guarantee kids are only taught what those controlling the vouchers want them to learn, which is how to be compliant.

This is pure insanity—read the thread below, about a planned data center for Piketon, OH. These people are out of control.

Piketon will - Kill between 9 and 90 people - Have between $145m and $1.3bn in health costs - Cause between 7k and 45k asthma attacks - Will use the equivalent of 4.5m to 6m households of power docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

you'd think the fact that the federal government is too corrupt to function in the public interest, and that all of our environmental, public safety, labor, and consumer rights regulators have been defanged would be a bigger story

Man Accused of Bribery Offers Bribe to Get Out of Bribery Charges

Ken Vogel@kenvogel.bsky.social

NEW: Under Biden, the DOJ indicted Indian billionaire Gautam Adani for “corruption & fraud at the expense of US investors.” Adani hired Trump’s lawyer Bob Giuffra. He told Trump’s DOJ that if they dropped the charges, Adani would invest $10b in the US. DOJ is now planning to drop the charges.

In 2025, ~48 datacenter projects worth $156bn were blocked or stalled by local opposition. 2026 is shaping up to be an even bigger year for AI resistance. This is a good piece on how organizing to block datacenters is a way for regular people to ensure their objections & preferences are heard.

There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

Former teacher Theo Henderson became unhoused when he was evicted after losing his job and falling into medical debt due to spiraling costs related to his diabetes. When he began documenting his experiences in 2019, 3 people were dying on the streets of LA every day. Now, that number has doubled.

Henderson shares his analysis of how anti-camping ordinances like the one in Los Angeles function as “the new Jim Crow,” how Democrats and Republicans are united in their war on the poor, and how AI-powered medical diagnostics for unhoused populations echo the Tuskegee experiments.

I've been reporting on varieties of fundamentalism and Christian nationalism for 20+years, around US & world, I've seen violence firsthand, and still this is the creepiest thing I have ever witnessed. Every single element of it. I am afraid it will haunt me for the rest of my days.

Rich alludes here to the wisdom of the judges at the Nuremburg trial: “To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

Trump’s Bored of Peace. Everyone who wages war on Iran, like all his DHS/ICE/CBP thugs waging war at home, should be shunned for the rest of their lives and prosecuted for crimes against humanity whenever possible.

My congressman "opposes" these strikes. He's also the senior Democrat on Armed Services who takes money from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. He votes for every bloated defense budget that builds the bombs now falling on Tehran.
