Bruce Harrell not spending time on reflection
Bruce Harrell spent more time in Seattle City Hall than anyone currently elected combined. He said he tried to hold himself as an unflappable leader. But he lost.

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911!
“I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me:

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

Videos verified by The New York Times show the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday was holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him. At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Under the previously undisclosed program, TSA provides a list to ICE of travelers who will be coming through airports. ICE can then match the list against its own database of people subject to deportation and send agents to the airport to detain those people. nyti.ms/4oUnl4J

Holding both women and men to the same journalistic standards is not sexist. Sleeping with / having a romantic relationship w sources is a fireable offense for both. And it’s alarming this isn’t obvious to everyone !
Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

Unhinged to describe the criticism of her journalistic ethics as a "freaksome lynching" when she has not denied any of the allegations and admits to most of them in her book.

Arrest ICE
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
