At the last Austin FC home game, an Austin FC supporter was tossed from the stadium for wearing an Abolish ICE shirt, days after ICE shot a man in Austin a couple miles from the stadium. Supporter groups have tried to have a dialogue with the FO, but are unsatisfied. So tonight…

Soccer fans stage anti-ICE walkout in #Austin, #Texas. "The walkout was led by Austin FC supporters' group La Murga, which is also the all-volunteer live band during matches, and coordinated with Los Verdes and Austin Anthem, the original fan group for Austin FC." www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

When Saka talks about pushing through surveillance tech and not getting bogged down in civil liberties, this is basically what the FBI Seattle Division highlighted in 2003. Saka, Kettle, both military intelligence officers, are acting parallel to the interests of "National Security."

Just a reminder, since Rob Saka keeps saying otherwise, that there ARE ALREADY CAMERAS AT SEATTLE CENTER and that they WERE TURNED ON. There has never been a plan to add specific POLICE cameras at Seattle Center, a sprawling open campus, despite Saka's insistence that they're necessary there.

The fields director at Starfire Sports, a beloved soccer complex outside Seattle that's hosted many US Open Cup matches over the decades, has been snatched up by ICE. Please consider helping him and his family if you are able.

For anyone that's ever stepped foot at Starfire and has seen the hard working groundskeeper working tirelessly, this is your turn to step up for him. Antonio was detained by ICE and his family doesn't deserve this. Please donate to help support him and his family. www.gofundme.com/f/help-bring...

If this continues, the CBO estimates that the U.S. will continue to burn between $2 to $3 BILLION more every month. That’s billions that could be going towards lowering costs for American families. We must end this war now.

This is excellent analysis from CSIS. The US was forced to abandon its naval bases in the region, ceded control over Hormuz to Iran, and now the mouth of the Red Sea has fallen under control of rebels in Yemen, threatening traffic through the Suez Canal. www.csis.org/analysis/ira...

Per photogsteve81 on Instagram, a man died while in Seattle police custody late last night—possibly while being restrained. The Seattle police still haven't issued a statement about it. They're referring any media inquiries to King County, which also hasn't issued a statement.

Never a dull moment on Link: 1 Line trains were disrupted a bit ago after someone entered the trackway at Mountlake Terrace Station. The system should be getting back to normal pretty soon.

Seahorse. Really.

Remarkable how little political noise it's made here in the US that a major American naval base in Bahrain was basically destroyed, and that this was kept quiet for five months www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/u...

why did the mainstream media cover the deliberate abandonment of obsolete and decommissioned equipment during the Afghanistan withdrawal as a scandal for the Biden administration yet they do not cover the total destruction of US bases in the gulf by Iran as a scandal for the Trump administration?
