I advocate for people and stuff. Based in Seattle.

I agree with this.

When activists barricaded the Fed Building, ICE didn't return to immigration court for days

When they suddenly required people to check in on a weekend, the community showed up. They only took appointments for a few hours then didn't show up at all the next day

They're cowards
The resistance against ICE is having an effect. Dozens of armed agents deployed along with a helicopter, resulting in ... two kidnappings.
Helicopters.

Armed troops wearing masks.

All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests.

DHS and ICE are out of control.

Port Commissioner Hasegawa posted this explanation debunking the rumors to Instagram.

It was training in preparation for FIFA (which is still sketchy) but not ICE.

My contact at the Port of Seattle was unable to confirm these rumors as of 20 minutes ago. They have an executive who actively monitors these situations with airport operations and Port police.

Border patrol maintains an office at SeaTac so they are likely to be seen there.

Just wanna make it clear for folks:

The same way Civil Rights protestors has hoses and dogs set on them? They're causing these life-changing injuries on purpose. They want to scare you off the streets.

Seattle has to import our Proud Boys from Portland so no, I don't believe there are enough amateur fascist thugs to stop elections, even if they only focused on blue counties.

Also, Washington and Oregon vote by mail. Our ballot collection boxes have fire suppression mechanisms.

He has no business working in the nonprofit sector. Operating an HOA board seems more appropriate for his level of cluelessness and authoritarianism.

I watched him snipe at board members, including a time where showed a clear lack of understanding of what the role of a board is — implying that board oversight was a conflict of interest, and that an executive should not be involved in board training and development (!?!)

My comment on this as someone who has run a non-profit, and has a combined 7 years of board experience (4 ex-officio as an executive), and attending the last four meetings as a member of the public:

The board absolutely made the correct decision in this instance. 🧵

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

Also, why would you show your papers to agents who couldn't even read them anyway?
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

The Washington House just approved HB 1175, which would legalize neighborhood corner stores & cafes statewide. The bill was sent directly to the House floor after being approved in committee last session.

A last minute amendment dropped suburbs with fewer than 5,000 people. The vote was 94-2.

Evidence continues to pile up that Washington voters of all kinds, including Republicans, want to tax the rich:

A proposed state income tax on million-dollar earners in Washington is broadly popular, an independent poll has found. Even, surprisingly, among self-identified Republicans.

This is tech bro brain right here
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
