That's pretty bad ass

Today on Seattle Now: A look at the initial results from the Seattle general election Great breakdown with Trish Murphy and Paige Browning We'll get more ballots this afternoon @trishmurphy.bsky.social @jaughanvones.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/4num...

From @kuow.org's analysis: "Here in Washington state, mailed ballots come in daily batches. The count historically inches left with each new afternoon drop, as younger, more liberal voters tend to cast ballots later than their elders."

Incumbent Mayor Bruce Harrell secured about 53% of the vote in Seattle on election night. That doesn’t mean Harrell is safe.

It’s election night! KUOW reporters are hard at work.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

After the 2024 election, people told me they were tuning out the news, taking a break from America's civic life. I voiced understanding. I no longer believe it's a valid ethical or practical choice. Please pay attention. Factually what's happening now will affect your life and your country deeply.

This extreme, violent rhetoric from Mr. Gillette has no place in American political dialogue. I strongly condemn his statement. Advocating for political violence is incredibly dangerous and must be condemned by all members of Congress, and everybody in our country, in the strongest possible terms.

Sinclair announces that it is ending its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, claiming that the "decision to preempt this program was independent of any government interaction or influence" and it is "simply inconsistent to champion free speech while demanding that broadcasters air specific content."

The FBI used hidden cameras to record Tom Homan taking a $50,000 bribe (in cold, hard cash) last year from undercover agents posing as business executives who Homan promised government contracts in a new Trump administration. The Trump DOJ has now shut down the probe. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

This administration is asking journalists to regurgitate not report.

WPSU-TV reaches 515,000 households in 24 counties of central Pennsylvania, and WPSU-FM serves more than 450,000 listeners in 13 counties in central and northern Pennsylvania. WPSU will end on June 30, 2026, at the latest. Layoffs are expected.

It’s 2025 and one of the hosts of the Man Show is being silenced for his beliefs and having his free speech curtailed and it’s not the right wing one.

Just so it’s clear

This exchange says it all.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

“Cable news is dying because its institutions would rather muzzle truth than stand behind the people hired to speak it.”

Someone dies in a horrific act of political violence. An online manhunt ensues w/ fingers pointed in all directions. Alongside thoughts & prayers, framing wars rage, as partisans try to score all the political points they can. Then conspiracy theorizing takes root, the denial of inconvenient truths.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

This is heartbreaking but as a parent, it’s also terrifying.

BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., delayed enforcing its decision, which is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court.

Under-reported story in Trump MAGA era: utter lack of coherent national response from Dem leaders. Dems speak like powerless pundits. No organization, no plan, no msg to Americans about what they should do as Trump grows bolder. Basic question for reporters: Where is national Democratic leadership?
