Steven Chavarria Portillo is on Day 9 of his hunger strike to demand urgent medical care, an end to negligence inside the NWDC, and a return to general population. Steven can’t sleep at night, and when he tries to sleeps during the day, GEO wakes him up to try to break his hunger strike.

Media challenge: Stop using the word "immigration" in phrases about abduction, assault, murder, and so on. Immigration means the movement of people into a country for purposes of residency. What's being "enforced" here is terror & crimes against humanity.

Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine says the early estimate of Link ridership yesterday during the Super Bowl victory parade was 200,000, an conservative number that is expected to be revised upward.
That beats the 160,000-rider previous high water mark for Link.
Sounder saw around 20,000 boardings.

The priority for middle and last mile should be to wealthy areas & publicly funded housing;
A community must switch 50% for it to pay for itself and not fail;
Building public broadband is an expensive project but that is no excuse to delay it!

Sure, it’s good to know *now*, but this deal to buy out Lumen/Centurylink’s [conveniently not mentioned] internet business was in the works while Harrell was still mayor & he knew about it.
This now drops the surprise & challenge in Wilson’s lap
