This is not only the 17th day of October, it’s also the 17th day of the federal government shutdown. Got a question about it? The shutdown will be the main topic of a Town Hall in West Seattle with our area’s U.S. House Rep. Pramila Jayapal next Tuesday at The Hall at Fauntleroy (9131 California SW), 6 pm. RSVP required; here’s that link.

Respectfully, please do not post pics of protestors faces on WSB from the No Kings demonstration tomorrow. Debating not going locally because of this likely possibility. It’s not safe to put protestors safety at risk right now. thanks

If you’re concerned wear a covid mask and dark glasses and join us!

D, please try to make it, you have a constitutionaly protected right to peacefully gather and protest, and the fact that the Trump administration is trying to bully and intimidate us into not showing up, is exactly why we must show up.

Why do you have a issue with photography from a PUBLIC event?…

I would like to know how we can help when the damage has already been done?

There is no right to privacy in public so you cannot request that of this Blog.

You can still request it. And they might hear you out and agree. But they might not, and it wouldn’t be breaking anyone’s rights.

Sorry, comment time is over.
