ANTIFA pushes Seattle PD down a hill, fully repelling them from the lecture hall of interdisciplinary engineering. I’ve never seen such a broken police department that allows THEMSELVES to BE POLICED

Seattle’s May Day celebrations are set to begin Thursday with a rally at Cal Anderson Park at noon, focusing on workers’ and immigrants’ rights. King County resident Hilda Ortiz plans to attend the event, which she says has taken on new and serious significance. “Everybody’s afraid, I mean, even people that have legal status,” Ortiz said. Ortiz noted that some individuals, fearing immigration crackdowns under the Trump administration, are too afraid to attend the rally and march. She asked them to create posters that can be displayed at the event. “That way they are represented in some way, and they...

Stephen Miller argued that a judge cannot singlehandedly strike down the president’s executive order on immigration because we “have equal branches of government in this country.”After a three-judge panel with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit unanimously ruled to reject the Justice Department’s request to lift a Seattle judge’s restraining order on President Trump’s immigration order this week, his senior policy adviser said that the judicial branch is “not supreme.”“The point I want to make to you, George, and the point I want to make to your listeners, is that we have equal branches of government in this...

A Democrat Seattle council member’s recent resolution may end commitments to defund the police, a movement that was fueled by leftist protests. Councilmember Rob Saka recently introduced Resolution 32167 that includes measures to appreciate first responders, police accountability, a diversified public safety response, and consent decree progress, Fox News reported on Saturday. In addition, Saka on Tuesday told the Seattle City Council’s public safety committee, “This resolution reverses any prior commitment or pledge by past councils to defund or abolish the police. We know that these statements were routinely cited by departing police personnel as a reason for leaving. We...

Seattle councilmember Rob Saka introduced a resolution to completely cut ties with any commitments to defund the police. After the murder of unarmed Minneapolis resident George Floyd in 2020, the slogan and movement to "Defund the Police" swept the country. Yet in the wake of a reported rise in crime in multiple cities across the country, politicians, even in Democratic Party strongholds, have sought to distance themselves from the idea. On Tuesday, Saka spoke with fellow members of Seattle City Council’s public safety committee about his recently introduced Resolution 32167, which recognizes work to improve public safety. These measures include...

VIDEOLook at the demonic glee with which this Satanic Sleeze of indeterminate gender gouges a Tesla with a key. In addition, She/He/It was so proud of the dirty deed that She/He/It even recorded it while committing this act of terrorism. Since the ugly face of this monster with Halloween eyebrows can be clearly seen on the Tesla camera it shouldn't be too hard to track down She/He/It. In this case the MINIMAL sentence must go beyond a mere tap on the wrist and payment for damages. Justice demands a MINIMAL sentence of buying a Brand New Tesla for the victim...

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell released his payroll expense tax (PET) report for 2024 Tuesday, and its projections came up nearly $50 million short. “Today’s announcement that PET revenues collected in 2024 were $47 million lower than projected requires action to ensure our budget remains balanced,” Harrell explained in a statement. Harrell said that his 2025 budget proposal was based on the projections from the independent Office of Economic and Revenue Forecasts. But since they got it wrong, the mayor said for the 2026 budget, “my office will consider all options, including additional revenue sources and appropriate expense reductions, to ensure...

A former Hawaii resident, and longtime green card holder, is among those being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Oh, the irony. And in progressive Seattle, no less! Thanks to the quick-thinking decision of a driver in the Pacific Northwest, the man who covered his face while terrorizing this woman for driving a Tesla should be rather easy to find. And perhaps he can answer why he feels justified in lecturing others abut vehicle choices when he drives a car that makes Gaia cry and Greta Thunberg snarl: ... A mother says she was harassed and cut off by another driver for driving a Tesla, an incident she described as terrifying and unprovoked. The confrontation, which was caught on...

LYNNWOOD, Wash. - A mother says she was harassed and cut off by another driver for driving a Tesla, an incident she described as terrifying and unprovoked.

Tesla has been facing a wave of attacks on its dealerships, staff, and vehicles. Last night, several CyberTrucks were set on fire in Seattle, drawing significant attention to the ongoing security challenges. These incidents are part of a series of coordinated attacks, with other locations, such as Loveland, Colorado, and Tigard, Oregon, also experiencing similar acts of vandalism and arson. The motives behind these attacks appear to be linked to Elon Musk's increasing involvement in American politics. Some reports suggest that certain Democrat-affiliated non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are behind these coordinated efforts. This has raised concerns about the safety of Tesla...
