MAGA Streamer Nick Shirley Just Issued an Embarrassing Correction

Last month, right-wing conspiracy theorist and YouTuber Nick Shirley followed an old woman around Lam’s Seafood, a Vietnamese grocery store in Seattle. He observed her buying spring rolls and tuna, which he incorrectly called spam and sushi.

Honoring Veterans and Washington Becoming a State

When World War I ended on November 11, 1918, many hoped it would secure democracy around the globe and “end all war.” When America entered the three-year-old European conflict in 1917, some 50,000 Seattleites showed their support with an impromptu parade. One local veteran of the Civil War even tried to enlist. Thousands of knitters made clothing for the troops, citizens in the San Juan Islands and elsewhere around the state also pitched in to aid the war effort, and William Boeing scrambled to win his first defense contract.
