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...

For Seattle residents who just spent months listening to grocery giants and their council allies claim algorithmic price-setting improves affordability for low-income people (lol), this book is timely. I'm buying it to learn more about this widespread scheme to put more money in owners' pockets.

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.

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

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...

Next up in our Protest Pack baseball card series: Lt. Larry Longley, head of the Police Outreach Engagement Team (POET). Here's a poem in his honor: There once was a cop named Larry His record is quite scary He punched his way up the ranks And now he makes bank. If you see him, you should be wary.

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...

One of the WNBA's greatest players stood in front of reporters asking for her arena to be a safe space. The debate has no subject. The harm is very real.

Lara Korte, who was just fired from Stars & Stripes, has been covering the relocation of personnel from Bahrain for months and did a great piece today on 1,300 Navy family members displaced from Bahrain who are stuck in limbo given the damage to the Bahrain base. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...
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...

Seattle Gay New reported today that at a meeting of the LGBTQ Commission on Thursday, Mayor Katie Wilson's office told them I was writing about a complaint the interim police chief filed against a detective, and that the complaint alleged she had said she worked for SPD or was representing them./1

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?
