It's wild to me how much misinformation is flying around regarding Seattle, Black Lives Matters, protests, covid-19 and protests, the so-called CHAZ, and so on.
The weeks of protest have had no measurable impact on covid-19 infections. Most everyone I saw at yesterday's march was masked and silent.
In a time where nearly everyone has a smart phone with video capabilities, you'd think truth was truth.
But, no.
The Seattle Times busted Fox (so-called) News for photo-shopping an armed, masked man into pictures of Capitol Hill. And not just "a" man but the "same" man. And running pictures of Minneapolis in flames with a caption showing it was Seattle.
C'mon.
I'm still not entirely sure what CHAZ has to do with advancing justice for all (and the focus needs to remain on the aims of Black Lives Matter), but the fact that the simple existence is provoking commentary, thought and controversy is kind of exciting.
