What's happening at the Post is a larger version of what happened at Crosscut IMO: New owner gets excited about the *idea* of journalism so invests big up front. But when it inevitably doesn't deliver riches and glory, they cut bait. Journalism has to be seen as a public good, not a fun project.

I love that twitter nazis pretended the left was upset about Clinton being in the files and it turns out not even Clinton cares. I like to think someone had a chat with him and it was like "everyone already knows you're a fucking creep. this is your last chance to look good before you die"
Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Colorado became the first state to mandate polling places inside all county jails—and turnout among voters who were detained in jails skyrocketed.

It grew by roughly 900% between 2022 and 2024.

Local officials had claimed they were already giving detained people ballot access, but the first-in-the-nation mandate forced their hands and increased turnout across the state.

An update on beloved community member and veteran, Zahid Chaudhry, who is being held by #ICE in Tacoma:

He may be coming home soon, but only because his health has deteriorated to the point where he will lose his eyesight if detained much longer, due to medical neglect and the poor conditions

Kettle cites a recent "Blue City Blues" podcast (by my two Seattle Nice cohosts) where they talked to people at 12th and Jackson with Andrew Constantino, a REACH worker who's allied himself with anti-housing first groups, and concluded that up to 60% of them aren't from Seattle.

If I had been on that podcast (with which I'm not affiliated in any way), I would certainly have pushed back on the agenda of their guest expert and on their use of a handful of interviews to reach broad conclusions about people who are drug users, or homeless, in Seattle.

I was distracted earlier today wondering how Mayor Bruce Harrell was tracking the Husky game while onstage in the middle of the debate (and updating the audience periodically). Apparently, I just missed it: A reader who was there sent me this pic (which I did not edit to make Harrell orange!)
