Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

French ice dancer, Guillaume Cizero is the first ever to medal with more than one partner and I think that’s the most French thing ever. (I’m sure he still dances with his other partner from time to time. Pourquoi pas?)

Want to Stop ICE? Run for School Board. Run for County Supervisor. Run for State Rep. | Common Dreams These overlooked offices control the budgets, databases, and cooperation that make the terror possibleβ€”or impossible.

Great advice.

Olympia Seeks to Boost Sound Transit with Long Overdue Permit Reforms Β» The Urbanist # A pair of bills advancing this week at the state legislature would finally allow Sound Transit to rise above the local permitting fray in several key areas. The reforms could save as much as nine mo...

Just give Sound Transit permitting authority over their own land. We do that for the Port of Seattle already.

Public agencies should be allowed to self permit to deliver the projects the public voted for. We don’t need the City of Kent reviewing their work
