Several ICE agents in Minneapolis just executed a man. They wrestled him to the ground and shot him multiple times at close range. It's literally them versus all of us at this point.

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE: - 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year), - 29% at least one prior conviction* - 28% at least one pending charge *most common are traffic and immigration offenses.

Chart showing detention population, among those arrested in the interior, by criminal record, May 2019 through January 7, 2026. Three lines show prior conviction, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record. The data shows a HUGE spike in the detention of people with no criminal record beginning earlier in the year, to the point where it is now the top group.

The Trump Administration has kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and started a blatantly criminal war against Venezuela.

NYT is already manufacturing the most vulgar consent for the Venezuela invasion. By adopting Trump's language of a takeover, they're diminishing his many violations of international law and the potential for full scale war, and instead treating it like a hostile corporate action taking back our oil.

23 years ago, millions of us poured into the streets chanting "Hell no! We won't go! We won't fight for Texaco!" It looks like we have to dust off that old standard once again. The spiral of economic crisis, political turmoil, and war as a quick fix roles on. Time is a flat tire.

Zohran Mamdani's inauguration speech just brought me to tears. It was powerful, inspiring, and left me hungry for struggle, democracy, and so many different types of New York's global cuisine. He's a master orator and this speech will be evaluated and taught in classes for decades to come.

Bill Hanawalt and I have an Op-Ed out in the Tacoma News Tribune. It repeats TNT's call two years ago for the city to use good data when modifying the Landlord Fairness Code. The LFC study group is requesting the City of Tacoma Government not act until a listening session process completes.

Robert Redford was the GOAT. One of the only actors with greatness throughout his career. One of the only directors to consistently take up politically controversial content. One of the only Hollywood liberals with anything close to a real spine. He let the world change him and he changed the world.

Pic from "Sneakers," by far one of my favorite movies, and a criminally underrated ensemble project way ahead of it's time. Gonna have to give it another rinse soon (edit: I'm annoyed that his NYT Obit called Sneakers a "popcorn" movie, but he probably would have called it one, too)

ICE and CPB agents arresting firefighters during an active fire is the best/worst evidence I've seen for why lumping police and fire together under the banner of "public safety" is a total fraud that needs to stop. Firefighters fight fires. Police stop and/or start crime. Not the same.

KOMO'S coverage from yesterday's action and lawsuit by UFCW 367, Tacoma DSA, and Tacoma for All to keep the Workers' Bill of Rights on the ballot. It's pretty good, although they call Michael Hines the CEO of 367. I think it's more like he's the CEO of kicking the city's a**.

Part of what's going on with all these university settlements is that their administrators know the whole thing is rigged against them. But, rather than deciding to treat it like the existential battle it is - like some of their US and international predecessors- they're gonna personally cash out.
