Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Puyallup action tomorrow, 1/9 at 5 pm. Details: www.facebook.com/share/p/17wc...

Emergency vigil to grieve and demand justice for the 37 y/o woman ICE murdered today. ICE shot at her three times while she was sitting in her car, killing her. Tacoma City Hall, 1/7, 6pm. #tacomawa

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

That was a really good game!

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Tacoma Stewart Park 4500 estimated (Pt Defiance, Lakewood, and Gig Harbor also had rallies but I didn’t get pics)

We’ll be in Tacoma!

Why doesn't Donald Trump remember that he was President on January 6th, 2021?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Donald Trump’s baseless and politicized indictment of Attorney General Letitia James is a direct attack on the rule of law and our democracy. My full statement:

We are excited to host Speaker of the House Representative Laurie Jinkins at our next monthly meeting to discuss the coming legislative session. Join us Monday, October 13th at 6:30 pm at Tahoma Universalist Unitarian Congregation! RSVP: www.mobilize.us/indivisiblet...

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

30 boats still sailing strong on their way to Gaza. On board: unarmed activists, journalists, doctors, and humanitarians. They carry aid for the people of Gaza, deliberately starved, bombed, and maimed by Israel.

🇺🇸 These dedicated public servants risked their careers to deliver an urgent message. 🚨 While the 1st amendment grants them the right to speak on matters of public concern, their protection is not guaranteed under an administration hostile to free speech. Please take the time to listen and boost 🔥

Despite illegal Israeli attacks, we continue to challenge the illegal blockade of #Gaza.

This is totally unacceptable. An actual elected official called for the execution of a U.S. Congresswoman. That is sick and wrong. Republican leaders need to condemn this heinous call for violence, and there needs to be real accountability. I stand with @jayapal.house.gov.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

The WiSER plan is absolutely an effort to cut Medicare benefits

I love Rebecca Solnit.

If you attend, work for, once went to, or plan to send your kids to a University of California school, write to the presidents and board of regents and demand UC stand up to Trump's attempts to bribe and cower the greatest public unvierstiy system in the world: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/u...

This is 100% correct. If you don’t have documents proving legal status, we don’t issue an SSN. No SSN, no benefits. And we don’t just assume the documents are valid. Every applicant’s status is verified with immigration. Every. Single. Time. Period. Don’t believe their lies. Tell your friends.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Exactly this.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Such a scam.

Results matter. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued "cables to U.S. embassies and consulates around the world in June and this month to discourage attendance at France’s meetings and publicly slamming the effort as a “gift to Hamas.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is clearly just another way to try to control women’s bodies. Ridiculous and stupid.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

A UN commission of inquiry concluded that Israel has committed four of the five genocidal acts defined under the 1948 Genocide Convention, and has such called on governments worldwide to stop sending weapons to Israel. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/un-i...

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
