Absolutely seriously, _do not applaud Joe Kent_.

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_.

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.)

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.
