Want some tips to enjoy tomorrow's @seahawksofficial.com parade? It's simple - take transit.
Major delays are expected in and around Seattle. It's the reason why @seattledot.bsky.social and @kingcountymetro.bsky.social can't stress it enough: Take transit, avoid sitting in traffic!

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
