A second source told the Examiner that “management want numbers.” Last year, White House deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller instructed ICE to arrest 3,000 immigrants a day, a demand that has overwhelmed the agency and resulted in inhumane and degrading detention practices. Now it seems, the Trump administration plans to turn up the temperature.

I don’t know what restorative justice looks like in a case like this. I don’t know what it means to hold someone accountable. But I do know how painful it is to see someone admit to doing sexual violence against someone else and a crowd of people immediately rush to minimize it as a youthful mistake

First Draft: 📺 Trump’s White House Agrees His ‘Midterm Ads’ Are Illegal. They’re Doing It Anyway
Donald Trump is demanding the propagandistic TV ads, even as some of his aides fret they ‘obviously’ break federal law. Missouri MAGA Senator Eric Schmitt, meanwhile, makes a fool of himself.

I'm tilted as fuck that @mayor.seattle.gov has helped SPD extort another ~$70 million from the community SPOG ignored her direct orders to help with ICE, worked to undermine her initiatives, and continued to target queer people for violent policing I don't fucking get it @hannahkrieg.bsky.social
Post from @hannahkrieg.bsky.social on Instagram:

Mayor Katie Wilson's budget boosts SPD's budget 13.9% — $488 M to $556 M — to fund 1,250 officers, or 66 new cops.
For comparison, Mayor Bruce Harrell increased police budget from $355 M in '22 to 488.59 in '26 for an average of 9.35% increase each of his 4 years.

Not the police guild using the word "accountability." How many police officers have avoided termination or serious discipline for crimes, brutality, dishonesty, and other serious misconduct thanks to the SPOG contract?

embarrassing stuff from Jacobin to just categorically reject progressive policies on immigration, policing, and trans people in favor of this vague idea of "positions resonate with [white, male] working class"
0162
Skip Intro @skipintroyt.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
"Progressive positions on immigration, policing, and transgender policy do not resonate with working-class values" feels like a messaging issue rather than a policy issue. Police are structurally anti-working class. Immigrants help the working class. Trans people are IN the working class
Chart comparing Jacobin's "Win-O-Meter" ideal candidate with a Harris-style 2024 Democrat on specific issues

Issue priority
WinOMeter: Leads on jobs, wages, and prices
Harris-Style: Leads with abortion and the threat to democracy

Cultural stance
WinOMeter: Positions resonate with working class
Harris-Style: Progressive positions on immigration, policing, and transgender policy do not resonate with working-class values


Who they fight for
WinOMeter: Centers working-class people
Harris-Style: Centers the middle class

Values
WinOMeter: Messages on working-class values
Harris-Style: Messages on middle/upper-class values that center personal self-expression, college, and merit

Campaign tone
WinOMeter: Populist; sides with ordinary people, not political or economic elites
Harris-Style: Technocratic; avoids populist rhetoric in favor of anodyne phrases like “opportunity economy”

Background
WinOMeter: Has held a working-class job
Harris-Style: Holds a professional job (prosecutor, attorney general, senator, businessperson, vice president)

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
