NEW: The Trump administration keeps denying and downplaying that immigration agents have been detaining Americans. It’s wrong. We’ve found more than 500 U.S. citizens have been held against their will, including handcuffed or held at gunpoint.

More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held at Gunpoint, in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown — ProPublica
The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administrati...

The Urbanist and Ryan Packer in particular did an amazing job raising awareness of this issue early and often! Without that journalism and efforts from transit advocates, things would likely have turned out differently. Thank you, and this again highlights why local media matters.

These bathrooms on the new Airo amtrak trains have 1) plenty of space and fully ADA accessible 2) multiple purse and bag hooks, 3) shelves, 4) the most stable changing table I’ve ever seen on a train, and 5) selfie lighting around the mirror (ngl perfect for make up application).

A despicable abdication of the EPA’s duty to the American people.
Trump's EPA just told fossil fuel power plants: pollute all you want. No limits. No consequences.

The market has already spoken: solar and wind beat coal and gas on cost. This was never about saving you money on your power bill. It's about protecting fossil fuel profits, while the rest of us breathe dirtier air, suffer devastating health impacts, and face runaway climate change. 

That's not a policy. It's a handout to the highest bidder and a despicable abdication of the EPA’s duty to the people.

It took a cross-examination by @alexis4seattle.bsky.social, but we finally know what happened to the "missing" $8 million discovered in a forensic audit of the Regional Homelessness Authority: KCRHA's accountants made a "one-time error" and basically lost track of the money, but still had it.

I would’ve taken the bus home from Town Hall Seattle last night but it wasn’t coming for another 20 minutes… BUT I had a great walk home reflecting how we that can change that if we vote YES to approve the Seattle Transit Measure this November to boost bus service by 34% and expand night service.
