Today we pause to honor and remember Shawn Yim, a King County Metro operator whose life was taken one year ago while serving our community. We hold Shawn’s family, loved ones, and his coworkers close in our hearts, and we recognize the deep loss and trauma his passing brought to the Metro community.

“In King County, the only king we recognize is…” Thank you @seattleindivisible and the No Kings Coalition for bringing us together in one of the largest protests in our state’s history! Let’s take action: seattleindivisible.com/post-rally-a...

Just wrapped up the No Kings rally here in Everett. Thank you for being out there, peacefully protesting, and standing up to authoritarianism.

I’m an immigrant — one of less than 20 naturalized citizens currently serving in Congress. I am going to do absolutely everything I can to use my power to fight Trump’s hateful immigration policies and protect immigrants in every corner of this country.

Who do we mean when we say “Black Seattle”? This mayoral race isn’t about personalities—it’s about whether symbolism becomes substance. What do “seats at the table” mean if the rest of us go hungry? My latest column for the @soseaemerald.bsky.social

9. Now, as Bailey steps into his new role, the DOJ is in the midst of its own campaign to terrorize trans people, parents of trans youth, and gender-affirming care providers—including through subpoenas demanding sensitive patient and clinician information. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Something I believe: allowing more people to be able to live in this amazing place is a moral necessity.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Mayoral Candidate Katie Wilson: "People are going to keep moving to our region, and we need to plan for that growth. So I'm here to urge you to adopt a strong Comprehensive Plan that allows for more housing in neighborhoods throughout our city."

8. The majority argues that the law does not discriminate against transgender people, but instead bars both cisgender and transgender people from receiving medication to treat gender dysphoria. Sotomayor compares this to Loving v. Virginia:

4. The ruling effectively greenlights medical care bans across the country and may pave the way for broader restrictions, including for adults, while leaving lower court rulings on bathrooms, schools, sports, and employment remain intact—for now.

1. Today, SCOTUS allowed for bans on trans care in a devastating, though limited, ruling in Skrmetti. It ruled discrimination against gender dysphoria is not trans discrimination, and used the same rationale used by VA to defend its interracial marriage ban. Subscribe to support my journalism.
