On our latest episode, Nora and I turn to the Epstein files, and the very powerful name still floating above consequences like a billionaire-shaped life raft.
Tim Schwab (The Bill Gates Problem) joins to discuss Gates, Epstein, billionaire mythology, and Seattle’s “Bill Chill.”
Seattle’s most celebrated billionaire is getting a campus wake-up call. A UW student is asking whether philanthropy can keep insulating power from accountability.
Today on the podcast: it's the 40th anniversary of King County changing its name to honor one King over another!@samjleeds.bsky.social explains, and @mhgreen3000.bsky.social and @janehu.bsky.social also discuss Bill Gates's ties to Epstein and how Seattle could respond megaphone.link/CC5911123495
Grateful to you, my friend!
As we round out February, I’m so, so grateful for @mhgreen3000.bsky.social’s deeply wise and committed words this week on why black history is essential for this moment. Give it a listen (and make sure to grab your tissues) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...
This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora and I speed-ran the week that was, including the part where public health might be guided by vibes and Mercury retrograde.
Then I shared a speech reframing Black history not as a highlight reel of achievements, but a survival manual for our present.
Thank you to Arte Noir for inviting me to reflect on the full weight and complexity of being a Black journalist. It was an honor to be in the same issue as Aaron Dixon, Daudi Abe, Vitamin D, and Remy Styrk!
Thank you, Amy!
@mhgreen3000.bsky.social has written an essay that ripples thru the heart.
He concludes “Keep hope alive, yes. But let it be hope wide enough to hold all of us without exceptions or asterisks.”

Today on the podcast, @mhgreen3000.bsky.social and Eula Scott Bynoe talk to Jane about which billionaire should buy the Seahawks, what Marcus learned in his week of reporting from Minneapolis, and their recommendations for what to do this weekend.
This week on the podcast Nora and I are joined by Emily Galvin Almanza, author of The Price of Mercy.
We talk about how people get criminalized before arrest, how poverty becomes probable cause, how bail is a “pay-to-sleep-in-your-own-bed” fee, and how plea deals warp the meaning of choice.
"As we mourn Jackson’s passing, I want to name this quieter legacy: that in a country, and a church culture, where cruelty often masquerades as conviction, he chose to insist on the full humanity of queer people."
Thank you for listening!
I'm better for having listened to this #podcast. Follow along for the people and for your souls!
“You must never stop dreaming. Face reality, yes, but don’t stop with the way things are. Dream of things as they ought to be. Dream. Face pain, but love, hope, faith, and dreams will help you rise above the pain.”
Rest in beloved memory, Rev. Jackson
Thank you to Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation for inviting me to speak about the continued importance of Black History.
This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora and I talk with Jelani Cobb, Dean of Columbia Journalism School and author of Three or More Is a Riot, about the throughline from Trayvon Martin to George Floyd, Ferguson to Jan. 6, and protest to backlash.
Wish I could say I ghostwrote this speech 🤣
A very thought provoking piece by @mhgreen3000.bsky.social at my congregation's Black History Month service.
This week, Nora and I unpack my reporting trip to Minneapolis, where vigils for Alex Pretti and Renée Good highlighted grief and resistance, and neighbors are building real-time community protection. We reflect on people moving from “How are you?” to “What are you doing?”
This week on @inthemeanwhile.bsky.social, @mhgreen3000.bsky.social and I talk with @brsoucek.bsky.social about academic freedom, the impossibility of institutional neutrality, and why turning campuses into corporate training centers undermines democracy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
Today on the podcast, @janehu.bsky.social is joined by @mhgreen3000.bsky.social and @benkeenan.bsky.social to discuss what Seattle's looking for from our political leaders right now. They also cover Starbucks' new AI "ordering companion", and what to do this weekend. 🎧
I spent time with partners and families supporting loved ones impacted by incarceration. Together, they’re building community, making art, and modeling how we keep our humanity in inhumane times.

This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora and I speak with Angelina Godoy of the UW Center for Human Rights about the accelerating cruelty of ICE. We unpack secret-police tactics, the weaponization of Washington state data, and why immigrant rights are an urgent legal battleground.
Thousands packed Garfield HS for Seattle’s MLK Day celebration, and it felt anything but symbolic. With civil rights under attack, people reflected on what honoring Dr. King means now: showing up, organizing, and continuing unfinished work.
"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick. "I'm sitting here crying about football when there's people dying every single day." Al-Shaair is the Texans' 2025 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee.
