An instagram post:
A local family-owned real estate developer, Sabey Corporation, has signed a lease with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to help with its mission to expand concentration camps. Riverfront Technical Park in Tukwila is preparing to be another base for DHS.
"I don't understand why we are pretending any of this is normal" pretty much sums up my state of mind for the last year and more.
Irony thick as his ankles here.

How can Americans trust a single word from this administration when they are telling us not to believe what we can see with our own eyes?
ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. It’s on video. We have all seen it. We won’t believe Trump’s lies.
#JusticeForRenee events TODAY Jan 8 around #WestSeattle:
* White Center candlelight vigil: 5-6pm Delridge + Roxbury
* Alki Statue of Liberty vigil: 7-8pm www.westseattleindivisible.com
* Pier 58 with Defund Musk, also co-sponsored by WSI: 6:30-9pm
Those who have tied themselves to Trump will be doomed to sink to the depths along with him. Sadly, all of us are going to be pulled into these waters, too—and told to swim hard.
Trump has not ruled out using force to take Greenland, though he says he plans to pursue an offer to buy it instead. In response, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark issued a joint statement reaffirming Greenland’s status and sovereignty.

We had tickets to a show in Seattle that was canceled due to his illness so we weren't shocked when he died, but oh! still so sad about it. Such a nice person--and such a booster for all things Canada.
Was that "The Vinyl Cafe"? We loved that show -- so much that we went to shows in Seattle, Victoria, and Vancouver, BC.

I was also confused by the national number being less than the sum of the others so I also thank you for the explanation.
