Tukwila and Sea-Tac have both banned new ICE detention facilities. Tukwila was one of the places they were looking at large-warehouse rental or purchase for one of their staging-area style concentration camps.

Another reminder that our Republican Party is _not_ better - it's just a lot _smaller_.

A small number of Washington State legislators who don't understand automated CNC or 3D printing are trying to block firearms and "illegal firearm parts" creation but their bill is stupid and broken.

The bill requires checking and approval of everything you print. It would functionally require massive AI adoption and always-online remote-checked printing, or massive local models.

I know everything else is insane too, but please take a moment to tell your legislators no on this bill. It's dysfunctional and yet another surveillance monster, this time of everything you make.

You can message them via tools at the link.

Why don't we talk about how one way Trump and the fascist MAGA movement could overturn this year's elections, because I'm quite confident they'll try.

We also talk about how to prep and what to do if they try it, so:

Credit where due; there's a number of specific actions in these Harrell executive orders.

City council will need to act on some of it, like the part about requiring feds to show agency ID.

Mayor Bruce Harrell on Wednesday signed two executive orders aimed at protecting Seattle and its residents from federal law enforcement actions taken by President Donald Trump's administration.

The goals of the preemptive orders are to prepare a legal and citywide groundwork for if and when Trump chooses to send federalized National Guard troops to Seattle, and to protect residents from federal immigration enforcement actions.

"This is not the time for hope" is Harrell's "please clap." Just needs the publicity.

Mayor Harrell saying the right things so far this time:

----- from elsewhere, posted today 27 September 2025 -----

I have spoken to Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and offered my support and Seattle's collective support. Trump's threats against American cities are illegal, authoritarian, and an attempt to silence free speech and intimidate the American people. We stand united.

This letter's still going out, btw. I posted it before the news broke, but if you have anything pending, send it anyway.

It's okay for it to be a day or two late, they'll know it was incoming and it'll still matter for the future.

Seattle Times: KOMO, Sinclair to end Jimmy Kimmel censorship

VICTORY FOR GAZ!

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/sinclair-komo-will-bring-back-jimmy-kimmel-live/

And also against Trump censorship this time and all that good shit

EAT IT, SINCLAIR

"The company said in a news release that its decision to preempt the show was not politically motivated." HA HA FUCK YOU fucking liars

IT'S CALLED LOSING, GET USED TO IT

The real weakness of the right is that money _actually does_ trump (GET IT? TRUMP?) fascism when it comes to the very, very wealthy.

I can't post tonight's "do not advertise on KOMO" paper letter, because it's to BECU and so my letter references our accounts there.

But I can post the stamped and addressed envelope of proof of work.

Your turn. Go write one. Here's the KOMO megathread on Reddit, find some advertisers and go at 'em.

Katie Wilson deserves your vote for this alone.

Katie Wilson Boycotts KOMO Debate Unless Jimmy Kimmel Airs Again in Seattle

She’s Pulling Advertising Dollars for Sinclair Broadcast Group No Matter What and Wants Public Funding for Local Journalism

https://www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09/25/80256513/katie-wilson-boycotts-komo-debate-unless-jimmy-kimmel-airs-again-in-seattle

[...] Wilson said if the company continued to kowtow to coercive federal censorship, she would not participate in an upcoming debate with her opponent Mayor Bruce Harrell. The situation—a symptom of the corporate consolidation of media—also prompted Wilson to broadcast her new campaign proposal for public funding for local media.

King 5 and other sources are reporting that hedge-fund manager Brian Heywood, a.k.a. New Wealthier Tim Eyman, has launched two anti-trans legislative initiatives for 2026. Both target trans children and teens.

The plan, if it's not obvious, is to force the legislature to take it up, have a debate, and either pass it or send it to a popular vote in November 2026.

That'll keep it in the news much of the year, which is the intent, because the strategic point - other than beating up on trans children, one of their favourite games - is to spend the entire year hammering on trans people to ramp up right-wing rage and raise rightist election turnout in '26.

Hey NORTHSHORE!

If you're in the Northshore School District voting area, please be aware there are two school district elections, and each one of those elections includes an anti-trans candidate you need to vote against!

If you don't usually bother voting for school boards THIS IS THE TIME TO START VOTING FOR SCHOOL BOARDS.
