There's a scandal in Seattle. Our local election ethics commission is intentionally punishing our new Mayor for trumped up charges and refuse to go after blatant corruption by our old Mayor.

Seeing the number of young women’s identities that were carelessly exposed in the latest Epstein drop, I’m forced to think about the disastrous presentation the Country Prosecutor gave to City Council last week.
County Prosecutors Give Lurid Presentation on Sex Work Featuring Unredacted Images of Brutalized Women to Seattle Council Committee

The point of the prurient presentation: “You can’t make sex work safe,” one deputy prosecutor said.

it’s really funny that Jeff Bezos is destroying the Washington Post. The fourth richest person in the entire world dismantles one of the world’s foremost newspapers—and the United States just lets it happen. That’s so funny. Nothing important matters. Nothing even exists

It is interesting that Kenneth Roth claims that the report is not substantiated by international legal principles when HRW released a virtually identical conclusion in a different report on the denial of a return to amounting to a crime against humanity in Chagos.

Yesterday we kicked off NYC’s Free Tax Prep season. That means filing your taxes at zero cost, keeping every dollar of your refund, and not getting ripped off by for-profit companies. 
 
Nearly half of all New Yorkers qualify. Get help—virtually or in person—at nyc.gov/TaxPrep
