Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

Connecting the Interurban Trail at the King–Snohomish county line will be a huge accomplishment to enable safe, protected biking and walking on this crown jewel path. Kudos to the many people working to make it a reality.

@EdmondsPolice @LukeDistelhorst Hey @EdmondsPolice. The vehicle didn't fail to yield; the driver of the vehicle failed to yield. Word choice matters.

Of all tools in the both-sides-journalism kit, the one where the reporter says the truth of the matter "depends on who you ask..." somehow stands out.

As @froomkin says, "This is not journalism. It is conflict avoidance." https://t.co/wtTKVEXn3L

“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.”

The above sentence actually means something and is grammatically correct.

Come with us on this journey where the buffalo roam.
