In case you don't follow basketball, Royce White was only rostered on an NBA team for a single season. He was used as a substitute in just three games, scoring a total of zero points. He made the stat lines by fouling twice. This is an NBA washout trying desperately to cash in and find some fame.

In just 17 years, Seattle went from not having light rail to having the most ridden system in the nation. We’ve proven how leadership & investment can change a city and people’s lives for the better

Remember when a Real Housewives gatecrasher at a White House event triggered investigations and resignations? Now all 3 branches can gather under security held together by vibes, and it’s a triumph everyone survived.

Ruben Gallego had years of proximity to these rumors and chose not to confront them—even with someone he considered a close friend. That kind of willful distance is a privilege many women don’t have.

Every once in a while, I still think about this scene from the King of the Hill reboot, which was fantastic. And that comes from someone who grew up with the show. "It's nice to be nice." Such a simple and effective message.

Good crowd for #NoKings at the West Seattle Junction, lots of fun signs, people singing, spotted a unicorn, a dancing chicken, a sloth, a frog, and the optimistic resiliance of neighbors who know we deserve better from our government.

Crowd of protestors in the street, lots of protest signs, they span the whole intersection.

The agents in all three shootings should be charged and tried in MN. I want Noem and Miller fired but we also need to hold those specific agents accountable for murder. If we don't, it is a betrayal to the victims and a precedent for future executions.

I joined an ICE protest in West Seattle this afternoon. As we walked between junctions, people came out of their homes in tears, visibly shaken by this morning’s news. Strangers hugged them, telling them it would be OK when we had no confidence it actually would be.

Alexi Pretti and Renee Good were brave but they never chose to be martyrs. That role was forced on them by incompetent, morally bankrupt agents. That’s what haunts me. It’s an irreversible act with finality that their children and family will suffer indefinitely from.

The official lie is that he came over to interfere with their operations, when you can plainly see several of them get out of their cars, cross the street and confront him there.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

On this MLK Day, one particular passage from his address at the March on Washington seems especially relevant.

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
