I’m interested in understanding compulsory military service, an experience so very different from my own, so I recently spoke with former Army Sgt. Cliff Cahoon, who was drafted during the Vietnam War. The conversation has given me much to contemplate. Cliff graduated from Ingraham High School in Seattle in 1967. The Vietnam War was raging […]

Seattle's Jaelynn Scott set to be Washington's first trans lawmaker

Seattle voters are poised to send the first openly transgender person to Washington's Legislature, with Jaelynn Scott holding 87% of the vote as of Thursday. The big picture: The milestone comes in the same election in which Washington voters approved new restrictions on trans girls competing in girls' school sports. Zoom in: Scott, the executive director of the Black trans advocacy organization the Lavender Rights Project, is on track to win the Position 2 seat in Washington's 37th Legislative District. The state House chief clerk and state Senate secretary told Axios they were unaware of any previous Washington legislators who publicly identified as transgender. The 37th district consists mostly of southeast Seattle but also includes a small part of Renton and some unincorporated areas, including Skyway. What they're saying: Scott acknowledged the historic nature of her victory in an election night news release. But she said her campaign was primarily about "families fighting to stay in the neighborhoods they built," along with "housing, health care and schools." "Being first is a responsibility, not a trophy," Scott said. "To every trans kid in Washington who has been told there's no place for them: there is. It's in the State House." Her

Socialist mayors to lead LA, D.C., NYC, Seattle as Trump warns of ‘disaster’

(The Center Square) – Democratic Socialists will now lead America’s two most populous cities and the nation’s capital, raising questions over the Democratic Socialist of America platform. More than 14 million people will live under the leadership of Democratic Socialist mayors in a handful of American cities. Nithya Raman was elected mayor of Los Angeles and Janeese Lewis George was elected to lead Washington, D.C. in Tuesday’s elections, both mayor-elects are Democratic Socialists. Upon being sworn in, Raman and Lewis George will join New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson in leading major metropolises, leading critics to be concerned about how their socialist agendas will impact the cities they lead.

President Donald Trump was asked about the latest round of socialist candidates leading the major cities in the Oval Office.
