Why We Resist

Just Plain Mean Spirited

Trump Stokes Chaos in Congress as He Huddles With the G.O.P.. tRump abruptly canceled the signing of a celebrated bipartisan housing measure and issued new demands that Republicans pass legislation imposing voting restrictions despite their protests that the votes don’t exist to do so.

tRumps executive order aimed at “restoring truth and sanity to American history,”  “Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth,” the order read. “Under this historical revision, our Nation’s unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, and human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”

Democracy –  On the Eve of Destruction

Watch: ICE agents confront New York poll worker during voting, as state prosecutors review incident. Two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents confronted a poll worker at a voting site in Syracuse, New York, as she was helping carry out the state’s recent primary elections. The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) told Democracy Docket it’s reviewing a report on the alarming incident, which again raises the specter of federal agents interfering in active

elections.

Public Records Show FBI Secretly Extracted Data From ICE Protesters’ Phones

Previously unreported documents reveal “extractions” from at least 13 devices after a Washington state protest last June.

ICE and Immigration

Cruelty and confusion for our immigrant neighbors in Kitsap | Opinion

My friend and I are watching and listening carefully in this courtroom. The wheels of what is supposed to be justice turn. I write “supposed” because the proceedings are confusing and rushed…

Appeals Court Allows Trump to Resume Expedited Deportations Nationwide

In a 2-to-1 vote, a federal appeals court panel ruled that the president can expand the procedure, previously used primarily near the border, to arrests nationally.

The Epstein Files – No need to explain further

Wars – We can’t keep up with the madness

168 Dead Children. One Secret Report. And Elon Musk’s AI. The Pentagon investigation is finished. Congress still hasn’t seen it. The families of Minab deserve answers—and so do we. Either our targeting was precise enough to spare a brand-new clinic but careless enough to level a decade-old school, or the school was struck on purpose. The children, after all, were the kids of members of Iran’s military. Both answers are damning, along with the double-tap evidence, and there’s exactly one document that would tell us which is true. That document exists. Read more

What Resistance Looks Like

Locally

June Freeway Sign  Workshop hosted by North Kitsap Indivisible

Many hands worked on this sign – ”250 Years of No Kings” for Kingston 4th of July!.

Resistance Elsewhere

24,403 Lawsuits and Counting: How Habeas Corpus Became the Front Line of Immigration Defense. Since January 2025, lawyers across the country have flooded the courts’ dockets with more than 24,400 federal lawsuits challenging the detention of immigrants as unlawful and seeking their release. That’s more than during the three previous administrations combined, according to a ProPublica analysis of immigration-related habeas cases.

Watch: Bonhoeffer’s Second Warning – The People Who Make Stupidity Unstoppable. How Did Nazi Germany Happen? Bonhoeffer Wasn’t Most Afraid of Evil People. He Was Afraid of These. Every collapse in history had the same cast of characters. Not just the fanatics, but the educated, reasonable, privately uncomfortable people who saw what was happening and stayed silent anyway. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German pastor executed for resisting the Nazi regime, identified three specific types of people who make stupidity not just survivable, but unstoppable. This isn’t the theory you’ve already heard. This is the darker warning buried in his prison writings that almost nobody covers. We break it down.
Watch: The Terrifying Theory of Stupidity You Were Never Meant to Hear – Dietrich Bonhoeffer. What  if stupidity isn’t about intelligence at all, but about surrendering the will  to think?

Trump axed a Black history exhibit. Former park rangers are teaching it anyway.

Trump axed a Black history exhibit. Former park rangers are teaching it anyway. They began to organize under the moniker “Resistance Rangers” and helped found an education coalition dubbed America 433+ in reference to the 433 sites that comprise the National Park System.

Good News

It seems like judges are doing all the work

Judge blocks Trump order that would have let USPS refuse to deliver mail ballots. The 37-page ruling marks a major win for voters before the midterms. It halts the U.S. Postal Service from refusing to deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration.

In blow to Trump, federal judge blocks DHS from using citizenship database to purge voters. A federal judge in Washington D.C. blocked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using its citizenship database to remove voters from registration rolls, striking a significant blow against President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional attempt to take control of federal elections. 

Judge rules against ICE arrests in courthouses. A federal judge in California issued an order blocking the Trump administration from arresting non-U.S. citizens at immigration courthouses and limiting how long noncitizens can be held at short-term facilities.

WA lawmaker accused of ethics violations seeks dismissal of allegations.

The 34-page closing brief was filed Wednesday by counsel for Democratic Rep. Tarra Simmons, a Bremerton legislator first elected in 2020.

Canvassing and Phone banking for Team Tarra. There is nothing quite like going door to door and talking directly with voters. It is invigorating. It is hopeful.

Please RSVP to Deanna if you have time to knock on doors or phone bank for Tarra. See Tarra Simmon’s accomplishments for Kitsap County and Washington State.

NOTE: After research and reviewing the credentials and experience of both candidates for State Representative in the 23rd LD, the NKI Endorsement Team has unanimously voted to endorse Rep Tarra Simmons.

Back to the Top

Just  as workers were setting up the stage in Statuary Hall for the signing of one of  the GOP’s few bipartisan accomplishments—a housing bill intended to address  soaring housing costs—Trump abruptly canceled the ceremony, dismissed the legislation as “of minor importance,”  and demanded that Republicans instead pass voting restrictions his own party  acknowledges don’t have the votes to pass.
