For those just joining, there's a train passing by right now, and a boat - you can still hear them, but this is a great illustration of the challenges Southern Residents face communicating and fishing with so much ambient human noise in the Salish Sea.

no. The answer is no.
.@PabloReports: Would you vote for any funding increases for ICE?
Warren: Not without more restrictions. This is an agency that is out of control. If we don’t get some restrictions in place, they’re going to put more American citizens at risk.

I have to admit, I really did not expect that we'd get to January 12 without an Executive Order or a major policy rollout from Katie Wilson's office.

Yesterday I came across TikToks from a guy hiding from ICE on a roof, as that’s where he was working, and I keep checking back to see if he’s posted after.

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

This is extremely normal cop behavior and demeanor.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

I got this press release from CM Bob Kettle. What a joke. He’s fine with ICE’s mission, he just thinks they should be more professional about it. We need better leaders than this.

I wonder if there's a way to manufacture a PDR to get the names of Seattle PD officers who resigned to move on to ICE. Or at least numbers?
Have to assume, from ICE's own recruitment ads, that's SPD's #1 competitor for fascist "talent."

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.
