The Seattle Student Union is demanding the district reinstate the mask mandate and revisit the issue two weeks after spring break, reports Hannah. Hannah Krieg
Well, it was a busy Monday.

It was the first day of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination process: Democrats celebrated the nominee, Republicans explained racism to the nominee, and the nominee made a vow of “neutrality.” NPR says “Democrats are hoping to finish Jackson’s confirmation process before Congress leaves for Easter recess April 11.”

Justice Clarence Thomas remains hospitalized for “flu-like symptoms,” reports AP. Thomas is currently the court’s longest-serving justice.

On Saturday afternoon, I took a break from doing the

Unlike the mask protests against King Inslee in Olympia, Seattle students are fighting to keep the masks on. HK

On Monday at 11 am, students from Seattle Public Schools (SPS) walked out of class and rallied at the John Stanford Center for Educational Excellence to demand the district reinstate its mask mandate.

“[The district] would rather have our family members die and have us deal with this for another five years than deal with some conservative parents complaining about how their mask itches,” one student said into the megaphone. “Get your shit together, SPS.”

On March 12, Gov. Jay Inslee ended a nearly two-year-long mask mandate for most indoor spaces.

Have you ever read Blood, Bones, & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton? She’s best known for her Brooklyn bistro, Prune, and she turns up on food shows like Mind of a Chef and a couple of other Anthony Bourdain joints. Sorry, I know you know.

Okay, so you know the part in the book where she takes a job at a little bar-tabac in rural Brittany that her French mom’s friend owns, and she’s describing the bar essentially as a community center for the village? About how the red-faced farmers

On Saturday afternoon KOMO poverty porn reporter Jonathan Choe tweeted out a soft-focus montage of a Proud Boys rally in Olympia and advertised a Q&A session the hate group planned to hold afterward as if he were talking about some kind of humanitarian organization.

“THAT’S A WRAP: Proud Boys and other marchers say they will stay on the Capitol campus in Olympia for a few more hours to mingle and answer questions if anyone is interested in learning more about their cause and mission,”

Drugs. Disease. Alien abduction. Television loves a good Very Special Episode, and The Beacon is ready to serve you a montage of the tear-jerkingest, message-deliveringest, uncomfortable-monologest episodes of must-ponder television ever created. Edited by Bret Berg of the American Genre Film Archive and the Museum of Home Video, this found-footage extravaganza will be hosted by the Beacon crew. I’m hoping for a two-hour compilation of Julia Sugarbaker speeches. (Did you know Dixie Carter had a deal with the producers of Designing Women that for every lefty speech her character delivered, they had to let her sing a song?) But I’m also fond of any

Although Washington’s statewide mask mandate has been lifted, venues may have their own health guidelines in place. We advise directly checking the specific protocols for an event before heading out.

So is The Seattle Times about to open a used car dealership or what? For some reason the ST has hearts in its eyes for big pavement projects lately. This weekend they ran a puff piece that originally appeared in The Columbian about a glorious freeway project that will surely not cause any climate change this time; and they ran an absolutely baffling editorial defending the mega-lane Alaskan Way Traffic Trench taking shape on the waterfront.

The year is 1997. And all of the inveterate criminals of America are spending life in Manhattan, which has been transformed into a gigantic maximum-security prison. This is how the US dealt with a 400 percent increase in crime. Give the poor what is now a gated community for the world’s super-rich. But it was almost impossible for the bulk of white Americans in the late ’70s-early ’80s—the period Escape from New York‘s director, John Carpenter, conceived and completed the film—to be nothing but pessimistic about the future of urban America. Indeed, urban back then actually meant black (urban music, urban fashion, urban English). This is certainly why the
