Well there’s a difference between wanting the genocide and apartheid state to stop and supporting Hamas (who aren’t exactly anti genocide themselves, just would prefer a different one to be going on). But I agree with you, I don’t see much in this article about this organization pushing any pro Hamas or anti semitic lines, other than one organizer apparently said something nice about one member of Hamas one time. Maybe they do push anti semitic propaganda? But they should put examples in the article then. Otherwise it’s just more of people using the cover of anti semtitism to attack people that just want genocide to stop. Which is also descipicable to do when there’s actual real anti semitism going on too that this practice distracts from. The article does add that this group pedals propaganda denying the Uyghur genocide, which is definitely problematic though.
Kind of ironic to see China pushing this message though, who usually take a very strict party line that no country should ever interfere with the domestic situation inside another country under any circumstances ever (they don’t want people looking into what is going on with the Uyghur people, and they also consider Taiwan a part of their country and therefore a purely domestic matter other countries should stay out of).
I talked to a real estate agent in Ocean Shores last year. She said at the time that the city's population had exploded. People realized they could earn Seattle salaries while working remote from the beach.
Every tech job I'm applying to is asking if I'll accept being in the office 2-3 days a week. It's not like I can afford to say no, even if I preferred remote.
Edit: Like I’m just saying, Republicans have no place to talk regarding homelessness and trying to push politics here is pathetic. I live in Oklahoma, one of the most red states in the country, and I hate going to downtown Tulsa because I get constantly accosted by homeless people of varying sketch levels. The highways around here always have people begging for change on the offramps. We’re supposed to lock the breezeway doors at my job on the PM shifts way out because during winter we had homeless people hanging out in there to get out of the wind.
Like tell me more about how it’s a democrat problem when I give an actual solution and it gets turned down for being “socialism.”
I agree it’s a pretty shitty article and not well written, bordering hypocritical because it’s a national problem and not just a west coast problem. It’s commentary and not necessarily what I’d deem “journalism”. When discussing what we are dealing with here in Seattle, I usually just say it’s a complex problem and it doesn’t have an easy solution.
