Echohawk and Farrell have each drawn an independent political committee that can raise and spend as much money as they want on behalf of their chosen fav. Courtesy of the Campaigns
A couple new PACs have entered the Seattle mayoral chat, marking the inevitable expansion of a race to raise and spend record-setting amounts of cash to influence voters before the primary election deadline on August 3.
Last week Seattle United for Progressive Change filed with the Seattle elections committee, and this week brings us New Generation Leaders PAC. Seattle United will raise money on behalf of former Washington state Rep. Jessyn Farrell, and New Generations will do the same for former Chief Seattle Club director Colleen Echohawk.

9:44 PM UPDATE: Foss’s appeal document added, after coverage of 75 speakers at Port Commission meeting, followed by commissioners passing both motions – as Shell drillship Noble Discoverer arrived in Everett)
12:58 PM: Just as Seattle port commissioners are about to start their meeting on the controversial Terminal 5 lease to Foss/Shell, we received that photo of one of the Shell offshore-drilling rigs that is expected to wind up here for a while: The
Noble Discoverer, which, as we reported earlier, entered Washington waters early today.
Jason Mihok photographed the ND (and Foss tugs) as they passed Port Townsend – he was on board the Victoria Clipper. Meantime, we’re at Pier 69 (steps from the Clipper’s HQ, in fact), where the commission chambers are overflowing – we in fact are sitting on the floor in the back of the room. We’ll be chronicling the meeting as it unfolds.

Did a Black undercover NYPD cop unwittingly aid Malcolm X s assassination?
By The Washington Post
By Sydney Trent
On Feb. 20, Reginald Wood Jr., a bespectacled, balding man in a dark suit and striped tie, walked across the wooden stage to the podium at the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center in Manhattan.
The place and timing were weighty with symbolism. The centre had been built on the former site of the Audubon Ballroom, where Malcolm X was assassinated 56 years ago that very weekend. Wood was also speaking on the eve of the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd last May. A heightened suspicion of law enforcement swirled in the air, just as it did after Malcolm was murdered.
