This is super cool, the Washington State Ferries posted this today on their various social accounts:

"The M/V Tacoma was recently taken out of service due to a stern tube seal issue. Thurs. (1/8), Global Diving installed an underwater habitat on the vessel. It was sealed to the hull & around the propulsion shaft. By pressurizing the habitat w/ air, crews removed water from the area.

This created a dry repair environment. It allows repairs to be made to the damaged seal w/o requiring the vessel to be dry-docked. Global Diving is working in coordination w/ our maintenance teams to complete repairs & return Tacoma to service as safely & quickly as possible."

Really clever. Wouldn't want to be the one working in there myself, but each to their own.

This is the full text of the report exposing how ICE is using license plate data to detain people. Please blow it up:

And a little spoiler, YES even Washington state agencies and institutions are helping ICE detain ppl here, which is against our state laws.
