Slog AM: Money for Dow Constantine, Trump and Xi Do Nothing, and Vivian Says Goodbye to Seattle - The Stranger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am leaving The Stranger. Before the keyboard warriors get too excited, there’s no palace intrigue here. I’m not ragequitting, fleeing, or resigning in protest. I even sat on the hiring committee for a new Editor In Chief, who I expect to be announced soon. I’m not even leaving the company. I’m transferring to The Chicago Reader, and moving back to the city I love the most, where my entire family lives, where I spent a large portion of every childhood summer, where I attended college, and where

I was going to write this whole bit about the Genius Awards from the perspective of a Costco sheet cake, but then fucking Dolly Parton died, so fuck jokes. She was 80 years old. Older than old enough to die, yet I’m somehow shocked and devastated. The great, especially the great who are good, remain forever too young to die. “Genius” is a complicated word, both because we as a society can’t define genius and because it introduces a troubling concept for anyone who has so much as had a creative i

The airplane’s black box and cockpit voice recorder were collected and sent to the NTSB. During its

War is back: The US and Iran exchanged missiles for the first time since late July. After we claimed to hit two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz (claiming they were just about to fire missiles carrying naval mines toward the water), Iran struck US bases in Jordan and American military assets in the United Arab Emirates. Iran says our attacks killed and wounded several of its soldiers and civilians. In a feat of verbal hopscotch, the US denies that firing a missile was an
Slog AM: ICE Agents in Washington Arrested the Wrong Man, Iran’s Rial Plummets in Value, and Can the Improved Route 8 Survive Monday’s Commute? - The Stranger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During an operation in Lakewood to arrest a Mexican national with a final deportation order last month, ICE agents instead detained 23-year-old Venezuelan citizen Moises Velasquez, an immigrant who had entered the United States legally but was driving the same car, a grey Volkswagen GTI, as their target. In an order granting Velasquez’s habeas corpus petition to challenge his detention, US Magistrate Judge S. Kate Vaughn said agents had demonstrated a “complete lack of procedures,” heightening t
