"The only way to prevent the Trump administration from accessing surveillance data on everyone in Seattle is to not collect it in the first place." !!!!

also mentions that the CID is surveilled by ALPRs **79** times more than in Wedgwood! The CID is also a CCTV pilot location.

Seattle will always be home but I think I only have about a year left in me. Paying more and more money to live amongst less and less Black people just has not been good for my soul.

It hasn’t always been easy, but every moment has been worth it. I’m incredibly grateful to serve my final year in this season as your Deputy Mayor—a role I hold with deep honor and responsibility. As this chapter comes to a close, I know Tacoma’s future is in good hands. (2/4)

Over the last few years we've tried to shed some light on the shadowy network of charter flight companies and ICE contractors in WA state.

Here's a quick summary of our work:

A 🧵.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

The Senate has voted 61-35 to break filibuster on the Laken Riley Act. With the help of 10 Democrats, the bill directing the detention of migrants without due process will now advance.

Democrats also helped make the bill's authority even wider than when it was first introduced.

To the media reaching out for comment about yet another TPD high ranking official on paid leave administration: we don't have a comment, because like last time, we have no idea what's going on. We can't make a comment on what the city keeps a secret.
