Rally against ICE in downtown Seattle:

Verónica García is a transgender athlete who won the girls high school 400-meter championship in Washington state — twice. Her success did not come with any perks. Instead, she was subject to abuse from people who oppose transgender women participating in women’s sports. https://wapo.st/4qziWp7

Kinda getting a kick out of this weirdly very dramatic Spokesman front page www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Kinda astounds me that journalists (and media orgs, for that matter) seem to use Twitter way more than Reddit, tbh

This is innumerate nonsense. An average of 1.1 million people were watching The Simpsons throughout its entire thirty-minute broadcast according to a third-party data company contracted to measure viewership by Disney. Somebody, no way to know who, hit the play button 1.7 million times on Twitter

In October, statewide news reported that a sheriff's deputy in Texas searched thousands of Flock cameras in Washington for 'Had an abortion, search for female.’ New documents obtained by RANGE show Spokane County Sheriff's Office cameras were accessed in that search:

Hi! We're looking to highlight local/ small businesses in the Los Angeles area (Koreatown, Pico Union and Westlake) for an upcoming gift guide at The LA Local. The newsletter will go out in a few weeks. Loved to hear your recs 🤩 Help us say we did it! #Koreatown #picounion #Westlake #gifts

Not that this is a surprise at this point, but for the first time in eons, it appears LA Times no longer has any correspondent based out of Asia (Beirut notwithstanding)

Sorry, but I can’t stop thinking about how many overqualified, underemployed journalists are currently living on the West Coast with years of local experience and extensive contacts in the region’s many globally important sectors… And this is who Vanity Fair chose to hire as its West Coast Editor.

The Pop Tarts have invented Democratic Calvinism. I’m excited to see what they eventually cook up as their eschatology. On that day will be the end of all non-five-minute breakfasts

"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

Sometimes I wonder why I tell reporters to be concise and keep their writing tight when this kind of writing gets you to the “top” of journalism

Breaking from us: As the Trump administration searches for more space to detain immigrants, it is approaching Washington tribes to see if they will participate. Nisqually Indian Tribe is saying no. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Dewey Defeats Truman.

!!!!!!!!

The first primary of the 2026 election, by the way, is less than four months away, so we'll see very soon how much of this anger on BlueSky translates at the ballot box: www.ncsl.org/elections-an...

Update: Barnes & Noble has confirmed they'll return to downtown Seattle in April at 520 Pike St.

UPDATE: the incumbent school board, who voted against the ban on trans girls and is now facing the mother of the complaining student, is leading in results so far.

Remember reading how NY Post has gained so much influence in NY politics in recent years. Man has that been proven loudly wrong tonight

Seattle brings a rare ray of hope for centrists over progressives tonight, as Mayor Bruce Harrell leads Katie Wilson in the first batch of results. 53.5% to 46%. Caution: This will shift a lot before the final result, and will be very slow. Ann Davison, the GOP city attorney, trails huge.

How has "Unwritten" become the party song

Oh my god!

I promised my boyfriend I will work on a puzzle with him as soon as this baseball game ends. “The game will end in 20 minutes,” I told him. That was an hour ago

One of my friend, a Dodger fan, has a wedding going on right now. Can’t imagine what he’s going through

This game feels like a fever dream, something that can't possibly exist in this world

Thank you @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social for making me Google search "UCLA Nazis" www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/2025/05/23/u...

Oh my god… Humpy just earned a win in the Mariners Salmon Run. #TridentsUp #SeizeTheMoment #Postseason

Washington Supreme Court Justice Mungia has an extraordinary opinion condemning "the underlying racism and prejudices that are woven into the very fabric" of SCOTUS opinions about Native people. "We must clearly, loudly, and unequivocally state that was wrong.” www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf...

What the hell was that?

Sir, this is called Lingo www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Worth noting for WA, BTW: "House Bill 1321, sponsored by Rep. Sharlett Mena (D-Tacoma), requires the Governor’s permission for National Guard troops from other states, territories or districts to enter Washington, unless they are mobilized by the president." governor.wa.gov/news/2025/go...

Today was a sad day in Seattle journalism. As someone who read and followed Cascade PBS's work every day (for my job), they produced unique and compelling work week in and week out. This will be a big loss...

I arguably jumpstarted my career because of Twitter but deleted my account a few months ago (I do have a burner account to monitor but never tweet). I have not regretted deleting my Twitter for a second
