Right winger panic over not being able to dine in at McDonald's at 3rd and Pine is emblematic of conservative fear of cities. What point do they think they're scoring by repeating the history of violence at that location?

Y'know...I kind of don't care about the outbursts of Musk, Trump, or Altman. They're figureheads representative of powerful interest groups but like... The "get a load of this guy" commentary on social just kind of does their job for them.

When Trump dies we get Vance. Thiel’s pet. They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier white supremacist techno-Christofascism. We must prept for this now & organize accordingly. Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. Strikes. Every angle.

ICE activity in the Seattle area has largely been along major commuter routes, 99/Aurora, Rainier, 405. I'm fairly certain they're using a mix of cellphone tracking and license plate readers. We gotta be better about knowing our neighbors and offering help like rides and info sec support.

Something about how power has flowed with fewer fascist street gangs this administration and more institutional fascist media and law enforcement. Like they found out they won't win street fights but they can definitely infect the airwaves and use the state's weapons locker to hunt their targets.

The last moviehouse in the University District will close its doors this week, after 85 years. It’s very sad news; the Varsity — where my parents went to movies when they were at the UW, in the 1950s — was a place filled with stories. www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

This longtime Seattle movie theater is closing
The Varsity Theatre is closing, effective Thursday, leaving the U District, once a hub of moviegoing, without a movie theater.

Investment markets, insurance agencies and banks all profit off of chattel slavery both historically and in modern times in prisons and internationally. www.bbc.com/news/busines...
In recent years, US banks have made public apologies for the role they played in slavery.

In 2005, JP Morgan Chase, currently the biggest bank in the US, admitted that two of its subsidiaries - Citizens' Bank and Canal Bank in Louisiana - accepted enslaved people as collateral for loans. If plantation owners defaulted on loan payment the banks took ownership of these slaves.

JP Morgan was not alone. The predecessors that made up Citibank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are among a list of well-known US financial firms that benefited from the slave trade.

"Slavery was an overwhelmingly important fact of the American economy," explains Sven Beckert, Laird Bell Professor of American History at Harvard University

I can't help but notice how a strain of newly elected progressive democrats in Seattle have set aside the moderated "defund the police" in a grim acceptance that the officers' guild has us legally bound and that a downtown full of poor people acting erratically justifies hiring more cops. I hate it
