After all the transphobia, witch-hunting, and the despicable and unsportsmanlike disrespect shown by a handful of athletes - let THIS image be the one that stays with you:
After Imane Khelif won her gold medal bout her opponent, Yang Liu of China, embraced her with a smile.
“ Thank you for calling the Seattle Police Department. Officers responded to your call to our agency…The officers searched the area for your incident but were unable to locate the incident or person(s). We appreciate your help in keeping our community safe.”
Several units in NWDC report they’re being left w/o water because the pipes are damaged. Because of this, they have not had hot water for a long time and there are several people in the medical area with flu and without medications

I’m outside the Seattle ICE field office, where advocates @ResistenciaNW are gathering to release a video of chemical agents being used against detainees at Northwest ICE Processing Center. Story to come for @WAStateStandard
https://t.co/tQZv3VZIjG Chidi is a father & the primary provider for his two small children and wife. Given this responsibility, he has been doing all he can to be released. Upon learning he qualified for bond, he borrowed $15k to set up a date for a hearing 🧵1/12
A heavily-followed Israeli Telegram page posted a video of cats devouring the body of a dead man in Gaza. The responses were appalling, consisting either of mockery of the situation or pity for the cats, forced by starvation to feed on the corpse of a so-called "terrorist." Typically, I don't dwell on such videos and replies. I’m aware of the prevalent racism in Israeli society. However, it's becoming increasingly evident that there exists a profound and abiding animosity towards Palestinians. This hatred is not merely a product of the ongoing war; it represents deep-seated resentment towards an entire people. One that cannot be resolved anytime soon. The systematic dehumanization of Palestinians seems to be the only justification deemed necessary for usurping their homes, occupying their land, exploiting their resources, denying their freedom, and eradicating their existence. Zionist hatred of Palestinians is at the essence and core of Zionist ideology.
Israel wants to expel more Palestinians from their homes and lands in a single day than it did during the entire 1948 Nakba. More than 1.1 million Palestinians live north of the red line at Wadi Ghazzah; Israel wants to relocate all of them to the south of it in 24 hours.
@mikiebarb@rebeccadobrien Your biased reporting on the situation in Gaza has been absolutely disgusting. You’ve dehumanized Palestinians by neglecting to even mention what has put them in such a desperate place. Decades in an open air prison. Your reporting has been shameful
Absolutely disgusted by the biased reporting on the situation in Gaza by @mikiebarb . No mention of Palestinian lives lost or the decades of imprisonment Palestinians have suffered in Gaza. Irresponsible and off putting
Gross when “allies” benefit from experience, emotional labor, time, etc. of marginalized folks then behave as tho said allies were providing services rather than receiving them. Too many experiences to callout just one 🤷🏻♀�� #somealliesarent
We’re seconds away from Seattle Council voting for the new War on Drugs 2.0. Let’s talk about who wrote the bill, Andrew Lewis. When he worked for the city prosecutor’s office, his team wanted to prosecute a Black single mother for stealing GROUND BEEF. A crime of poverty.
