I'm having to just include key sections in all of these documents, as there's much too much in each page for the alt-text window, and in some cases it would take _three_ rounds of alt-text. I'm doing my best to summarise.

Well here's the Seattle LGBTQ commission's declaration of emergency recommendation regarding the internal queer-but-mostly-trans refugee crisis.
Numbers I saw a couple of months ago were in the 500,000 people range. Remember, if someone has to flee a state to protect their trans child, that's an entire family who is fleeing.

Declaring the state of civil emergency would basically open up more money. We've had refugees coming in to supportive families in our own neighbourhood.

Bringing this set of statements from Seattle Mayor Wilson posted originally a few days ago over from elsewhere. It'll be a thread because it's a bunch of images, but I will of course alt-text.

SB 5855 passed the Senate. This is the bill banning facial-covering identity concealment by law enforcement.
All Democrats for. All Republicans against. No abstentions. If you had _any_ thoughts that local Republicans were any better, please jettison them. And the Republicans.
(Exemptions are made for undercover work and N-95 medical masking. I presume every Federal agent will suddenly find themselves fully invested in COVID-19 control. But that's still a lot less coverage than the full-face-plus-glasses covering they do now.)

@moira
Are we doing "State Bird" like it's color matching, or state bird like a native bird?I'm not sure what bird this is/should-be... Looks nice tho.
Artists, we'd love to support your non-AI version!! Please?

[continued] And after an incident, the lines of investigative authority or prosecutorial authority can be very challenging to navigate.
But I think the Washington public expects their local sheriff or local police chief or officers that work for either to not simply watch if somebody in their community is having their rights violated.

This is setting up - by necessity, I want to be very clear about that - guidelines for direct conflict between Washington State and Federal agents.
There's unidentified/masked Federal fascist agent contexet in this, too, since that'll be illegal here real soon.

They're being pretty nonspecific in this because as _they_ put it they don't want to give away game plan. But:
27:38, Atty. Gen. Nick Brown:
What I would say is as a general matter, state and local law enforcement do not have to simply watch or look away if the law is being violated.
If they see somebody being assaulted unlawfully or attacked unlawfully or otherwise having their legal rights violated, we do not expect state and local officers to simply watch or do nothing.
It is important that each of those jurisdictions talk to their lawyers and legal teams, understand where those lines are drawn.

People are out there making state bird rebel alliance patch designs. A lot of it's AI slop, but as much as I hate AI slop I do in fact think this is the moment to cut people a little slack.
Maybe contribute better, non-AI ones, if you're able.
Image search isn't helping me find an original but here's one going around for Washington State. Bird itself looks AI. Mountain looks like a photograph. We'll call it mixed media maybe.

@sdwilsh Supply your neighbourhood! And check here, there are drop boxes in many areas for whistle drop-offs made by people with 3D printers:

(whistles 51-62 are on the printer now but won't be ready 'til tomorrow)

Today's Tuesday Tesla Takedown, _again_.
You can also protest other _related_ items - see last week and the Abolish ICE banner. People have a variety of signs. I make sure to keep tying it to Musk, because that's where we are.
Find a protest.
Join one.
If there's not one near you
start one.
https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/teslatakedown
See you in Lynnwood.

Shoreline Area News reporting ICE grabs at Aurora Village in the last couple of days. Heads up team.
https://www.shorelineareanews.com/2026/01/ice-agents-making-arrests-in-shoreline.html
Shoreline cops say they aren't told and don't know where ICE will be operating and reiterating that they do not cooperate with this in any way.
The article also provides lists of response resources and organising, just to make it very clear they're not on ICE's side.

Well that's pleasant. Not everybody follows through on these things, but if they do, I'm down to, uh... needing to start a new batch of emergency whistles and booklets already.
Nice. I like that.
If you're thinking about it don't let that stop you, I am 100% starting a new batch later today, once the printer's free again.
