A clear and appalling sign that this administration will set no limits on its acts of aggression against an independent press. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Organizers counted more than 500 people at this ICE Out For Good protest at Seattle’s University Village Saturday - one of many events going on today. And more planned for tomorrow.

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day. When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.

President Trump has stamped his own photo on two cards — one to get into national parks, another to get into America. Both pervert the meaning of these programs.

Big cheer from the Seattle #NoKings marchers when the monorail passed overhead and the driver honked the horn. (Also, I did not know the monorail was equipped with a horn!)

The front of the Seattle #NoKings protest is nearing the Seattle Center/Space Needle.

Impossible to gt a pic that shows how big the Seattle #NoKings is...I've been to a LOT of protests in the last 2 decades, and never seen anything like it here.

Darth makes an appearance and takes a stand in Seattle #NoKings

Here's why the Seattle police chief says he expects to be jailed under the Trump administration.

Pretty good turnout for a Green Lake protest walk in Seattle this afternoon, plus some great tunes and dancing from @dance4democracy.bsky.social

Like the wall of insults against Canada, the Trump administration is building a wall of suspicion that may scare international students away from UW and other schools, writes columnist Danny Westneat.

UW students' visas revoked without notice by Trump administration. Some related to protests. Others don’t know how they ran afoul of the Trump administration. Btw, the First Amendment guarantees the right to peaceful protest. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Thousands of people gathered in Seattle and other parts of Washington and the U.S. Saturday, rallying to protest the Trump administration’s policies.

@govjayinslee.bsky.social: “Don’t surrender to this autocrat in any way.” References the Wisconsin Supreme Court win, to cheers. Eventually, “Donald Trump will be in the dustbin of history.”

@govjayinslee.bsky.social: “When he (Trump) said he was going to liberate America, we didn’t realize he was going to liberate us from our retirement accounts.”

Crowd here at Seattle #HandsOff has finally thinned out enough that I can get up close and hear what’s being said. @govjayinslee.bsky.social is about to take the stage.

It’s too bad the sound system is so poor at the #HandsOff Seattle protest - very hard to hear if you’re not sitting up front. A lot of people are walking ‘round and ‘round the center with their signs to stay busy.

So many thousands of people here at the Seattle Center for HandsOff and hundreds more pouring in every minute. Network is jammed - I can’t get photos to load!

The crowd is growing at the Seattle Center for HandsOff2025 rally.

I’m heading to the Seattle Center for the Hands Off rally and the 28 bus from Ballard is absolutely jammed.

Scientists who predict and analyze our weather and climate, protect endangered species, guard against infectious disease, and even fight wildfires are under attack by President Donald Trump’s administration. And they’re not going down without a fight. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

And that’s a wrap for the Seattle #standupforscience rally. Many hundreds or perhaps a few thousand rallygoers, many of whom stayed to the very end.

Childhood cancer survival rates have gone from 15% to 80% in a generation thanks largely to government research funding, a Seattle Children’s pediatric oncologist tells rallygoers. #standupforscience Seattle.

A chant only a scientist could love: “What do we want?” “Peer review!” “When do we want it?” “Now!” Seattle #standupforscience rally, going into its third hour.

Professors, researchers, postdocs, grad students describe their research, and the confusion and uncertaintly they have been living with since January. Rally is going into 2nd hour. #standupforscience Seattle
