The definitive piece on what Trump's mass deportation plan would involve is by @radleybalko.bsky.social who understands the stakes and has no fantasies about the law and the courts radleybalko.substack.com/p/trumps-dep...

These people really don’t get what happens if Trump takes power again.

Trump's deportation armyradleybalko.substack.com The former president's vow to deport 15 million people is the cruelest, most illiberal, most openly authoritarian campaign promise in modern U.S. history. Oh, and it would also destroy the economy.

Victory! Supreme Court correctly rules that social media platforms have First Amendment rights to curate and edit the speech of others they deliver to their users.

Seattle friends! Know how the city has been planting saplings to replace trees that have died from heat/drought/age? The city does not actually water them regularly! In this dry heat, a lot of them are dying. Gator bags say they need 15 gal/week. If you see one in distress on your street, adopt it.

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

Relatedly, please remember that a federal appeals court recently ruled that cops can compell you to use biometrics to unlock your phone. Passwords, pins, or patterns, people.

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't. www.zdnet.com/article/digi...

Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis! www.king5.com/article/news...

Way too many church ladies took way too many mace attacks, dog bites, and full-force firehoses to the face for me to ever NOT vote, honestly.

Outside the NLRB, hard to think of a part of the federal government that's seen as drastic a change for the better as Interior under Deb Haaland

Been out for a bit, but noticed that the 2023 data on BLM oil and gas leasing came out today. Biden is keeping it far lower than prior administrations. It's far easier to stop drilling by not leasing than through any kind of action once a lease is issued & a property right created.

Do you need something to be mad at all the time? Want an excuse to bully people and start fights? Instead of taking this desire out on social media might I suggest an alternative: It's called your local city council meeting and we actually desperately need that energy there

I oppose the 10 Commandments mandate on principle, but it's also worth noting it's likely to have the deleterious effect of spawning another generation of insufferable 20-something atheists and for that it must be swiftly repudiated by the courts

For folks not familiar with Dr. Walker: -Only woman recipient of the Medal of Honor -Dressed as illustrated below in a time when that shit got you arrested -Lifelong abolitionist, frontline war surgeon, Civil War P.O.W. -Paid her own way through med school on a teacher's salary (lol can u imagine)

I love non-conforming Victorians and Edwardians as they completely undermine the "all this is modern woke" attack line. Here's my queen of it. Dress reform activist Dr Mary Edwards Walker who said "I don't wear men's clothes: I wear my clothes."
