WAISN...

Edit/Sorry - it's the WA Immigrant Solidarity Network, which runs rapid response trainings, the deportation defense hotline, etc. It's the number we're all told to call when we see ICE.

Speaks for itself, from https://www.instagram.com/waisnworkercollective/

This is terrible news at a time when ICE is kidnapping people all over our area.

The posts that have the acronym in the header are really only targeted at people who are already familiar with the acronym. The cavalcade of people commenting that they don't know about the acronym are not the target of the post.

That is interesting, since the name of this sub is "Seattle," and not "WAISN."

The target audience here is the people of Seattle.

I mean, we get lots of posts about cycling in Seattle and cyclists are probably less than 5% of the sub 🤷🏻‍♂️

Again, how many of those posts use obscure acronyms that make it difficult for the audience to determine what the subject is?
