good news. kristi noem has already found eight new jobs

I really understand why folks are so overjoyed that Noem has been canned but what does it actually change?
She’s being replaced by someone equally terrible.
ICE’s cruelty & lawlessness will go right on.
Miller sets policy for ICE & he reports to Trump.
Trump must be impeached, convicted and removed.

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Screaming

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

It seems like "how many more schools will we destroy" is a more pressing question right now than "will Iran come to the World Cup" but that's just my opinion.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Whew I can stop pretending to not know about this now

Fuck Pete Hegseth and Steven Miller and Donald Trump and all these violent fascist Republicans who think murdering people in our name and causing international instability makes them look manly and strong.

Oh.

Many cyclists gathered with a man speaking into a megaphone

Tonight Critical Mass Seattle rode in honor of Lilliana Moreno, who was killed by a car at the intersection of Pine and Bellevue in Capitol Hill a week and a half ago. We rode out and held vigil at the intersection before continuing on. Our friends and neighbors should not die on our streets.

Those who live in glass concentration camps shouldn’t throw stones.

Welp

Just before 7pm tonight, Seattle Fire responded to a driver hitting someone walking at 12th Ave S and S Jackson.

The 55 year old man who was hit was transported to Harborview with significant injuries. They were reportedly hit at 30-40 mph (the speed limit is 25).

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable."

Last night, two community members were hit by drivers in two separate instances while walking in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. We have since learned that one of them has passed away. This is devastating, and my heart is with these community members, their friends, and their families.

Drivers are not okay.

At this point, what ARE they spending their time doing? What other bills are so much more important that bills like this and HB 2095 need to be ignored??

Washington House Approves Neighborhood Cafe Bill in Early Floor Vote » The Urbanist # House Bill 1175 requires local governments to allow corner stores and cafes, but gives them wide latitude to regulate them. A nearly unanimous floor vote early in session signals momentum for the bi...

Also dead this week: the neighborhood cafe bill, despite a 94-2 vote in the House on the fourth day of the session.

It didn't even get a hearing in Senate local government.

So if this bill never proceeds...does the whole process need to start over in the next legislative session??
