The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

Maybe they need to elevate Humpy to the running coach position. 😂🔱

That play in the Brewers Dodgers game was one of the wackiest things I’ve seen in baseball.

We are almost up to my first wish now.

seattlekim @seattlekim.bsky.social · 4d

My wish list for this next series -
At least one game that is a clear, stress-free, blowout Mariners victory.
And that Geno finds his vibe again.
(And that we win, but let’s not get demanding.)
