Besides @luluramadan and I, this investigation has had a huge team of support. We combed through more than 17,000 pages of records from 45 school districts, 3 police departments and the state education department projects.seattletimes.com/20…

At WA special education schools, years of abuse complaints and lack of academics

A chain of private schools promised to help students with disabilities. But as allegations mounted, the state let them stay open and collect millions in tax dollars.

My 105-year-old grandmother, who is vaxxed and boosted, tested positive for Covid yesterday. Her doctor referred her to @hoaghealth in CA yesterday for monoclonal antibodies. After waiting for hours in an unheated outdoor tent she was denied treatment *because* she was vaccinated

West Sound Technical Skills Center is an amazing place where high schoolers can earn dual credit and pursue a wide range of potential careers. Can you imagine starting college with the basics in construction/game design/or nursing under your belt!?!
AWB@awbolympia4 Oct 2021
Wow! The workforce training at @WSTSC in Bremerton is growing by double digits as students from 10 districts come to learn real life skills like construction, welding, 3-D animation, nursing, criminal justice & more! Info & vid coming to MFGisWA.org #MFGisWA #waedu

$10,000 is apparently magic number. Another Puget Sound area hospital offered a “special-invitation only” vaccine clinic to its major donors & board members. A 3rd invited board members to a “soft launch” clinic. w/ ⁦@sydbrownstone⁩ @evanbush⁩ ⁦seattletimes.com/seattle-new…

What’s striking is how MUCH unlimited equipment, gear, artillery, vehicles the police departments across this nation have. Yet health care workers are forced to scrounge for PPE and using garbage bags to protect themselves from a deadly virus. – at Los Angeles, CA

Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.
