The inevitable court challenge to I-638 is here. That initiative bars trans girls from playing girls K-12 sports in Washington. It passed with over 55 percent of the vote. And opponents vowed to fight it in court as soon as it became clear that voter... more

And the New York Times reports there may b... more

Sound side evolution! I listen to many of the local political podcasts and since Libby and David have joined forces they have taken the depth of discussion and analysis to another level! It was already good to be clear! Like the longer show, dissenting voices, and the background context. Learning in every episode.
Wow, this Baumgartner Rep just spews MAGA nonsense for nearly the entire interview. The host tries to redirect him but really should have been more confrontational, especially when he calls Seattle area voters and the Seattle mayor morons. He accuses anyone on the left of our national politics as acting out of “Trump derangement syndrome” yet he is the one who sounds as if he is deranged… “MAGA derangement syndrome” perhaps?
Libby has a respectful ear to her guests. I value her ability to listen and pose thoughtful questions that broaden my perspective and seam closer the divide. Her professional ability to articulate and gather ideas without offense should be methodically taught across NPR’s journalism.
I return to Sound Side for the balance.
Thanks for holding the facts up to him and questioning his underlying assumption that trans people are worse than cis people. He’s a grifter, a fear-monger, a liar, and a bigot.
Do we really need kuow’s take on google’s ai synopsis in search results? Do we need them discussing palestine? Why retread ground the NYT and BBC cover with far more resources and access?
What we need is for kuow to cover solutions for our broken school system, solutions for bike and pedestrian mobility, solutions for the homeless crises, solutions for downtown office vacancies. Keep it local please!
