One claims that the person who outed Jason Arday was "known for work suggesting that black people were genetically predisposed to be less intelligent than white people." I do not know enough about this person to say whether this summary is accurate.

But then there's an article about Palestinian rappers and it mentions Mia Khalifa as "a former adult film star turned influencer and political activist". No mention of her requests that the terrorists which she refer to as freedom fighters shoot from different angles during their October 7th massacre as it was happening. She has made many other comments that are also pretty racist.

I realize these are two different journalists. But it's the same newspaper. There should be a policy on whether or not it is ok to bring up derogatory things about somebody in cases where there is not an obvious relevancy.

If the accusations against Arday were possibly false, it would be relevant if the person who made those allegations had a history of anti-black racism. But since the accusation seem true, the character of the person who brought it to light isn't really relevant.

I've noticed this often with the New York Times where are they find the need to report on some negative things about an individual that aren't exactly relevant to that moment depending on their own biases. Like an actor who has a history of saying offensive things. They are more likely to bring it up if it's Mel Gibson than if it's Alex Baldwin. They mentioned on many occasions that Trump refused to condemn the neo-nazis at the Charlottesville Unite the Right protest during his first term even though this was untrue. But Mamdani refused to condemn "globalize the antifada", and it was quickly dismissed as irrelevant. Ditto for his enthusiasm for attending the Pakistani Day Parade versus his unwillingness to attend the Israeli Day parade.

Before you ask why I am posting this: ignorant and insane attitudes like this are routine for those who speak at public comment during City Council meetings, activist organizations, etc. They do get the ear of the decision makers in the city.

This is located on the corner of Rainier and MLK Jr boulevard. At first I thought it was related to the one that became it historical landmark two months ago. That's in the Central District. In addition to these two murals, in the last 6 months Black Panther Party Park was opened in Skyway, Black Panther Party information center was opened in Pioneer Square, and 900k was earmarked in this year's budget to open up Black Panther Party Museum in the house that Aaron and Elmer Dixon grew up in.

I'm not sure when this video was taken, but it was uploaded to her IG page today.

As a side note, her dad is state senator Bob Hasegawa. She is currently a Port of Seattle commissioner.

A few days ago somebody posted a video that shows the CEO of Community Passageways bragging about getting sentences reduced for serious gun violence along with getting juveniles who are charged with serious gun violence released "to community". Today he told KUOW that one of the shooters was a client of his organization.

Community Passageways has gotten $51 million of taxpayer money in the last 5 years

It feels like 2020 is creeping in again. Two incidences that the media, politicians and activists frame with the same ominous tone they did Trayvon Martin.

One involves a young black woman who was on the train in DC with a large group of white, masked, far right activists around the 4th of July. Nothing happened.

The second is the incident this woman describes in her IG posts. There is no substantial evidence of foul play, and no evidence whatsoever of racism towards the young man who died. (I didn't include all the screenshots because it's a pretty long thread and you can find it yourself if you really want to.)

I'm starting to believe that it's not external events that caused this pattern of hysteria but born of internal issues that those inciting this are externalizing.

Note: this is relevant to BaR because it touches on the pattern of social media driven hysteria about racism and hate crimes that do not necessarily seem objectively true. It also touches on the "white woman bad" mentality that is very prevalent among racial Justice activists.

I included a link to an article that included full text. The Seattle Times is also is running the same AP article.

I was unable to get it off although it does look like that is possible. I showed a picture to my repair shop and they were just doubtful they would be able to do anything. I am unable to screw in the bolt that keeps the caliper in place as it currently is. Any suggestions to make this work would be appreciated. Thank you
