I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

WSDOT just extended this closure of the NB 1st Ave S bridge until Friday after the damage to the desk was discovered to be "more extensive" than initially thought.

I don't disagree with this, really. It's not no cars the way it's said. I got clipped twice on my way to work during the day in early 2025. Then hit opposite direction that was prolly my fault on a regular street. But it's bad, like actually really bad. theseattletoday.com/seattle-scoo...
