Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Teaching at WWU has been the best job I’ve ever had. The students are engaged, pragmatic, community focused and kind. I see so many of them doing amazing work in state government, community, business, etc and I’m so proud of them all. www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/apr/04/...

“Everybody here is feeling the pain, and it’s made worse because it’s so unnecessary” Border communities are suffering because of this administration and it is absolutely unnecessary. The rest of the country is next unless the madman changes course. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

We just learned that Washington State Library’s $3.9M annual award from the Feds has been cancelled. That’s rural libraries, rural librarians and internet access, databases for research and ebooks through Libby. DOGE needs to end.

At a recent townhall in Whatcom County where these crossings are located one of the biggest applause lines from @sharonshewmake.bsky.social was "Canada is our Friend". We are mistreating our friends.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Like many of the letters Sen. Booker is reading, I am, likewise, in the position that if SSA is cut off, I am out on the street with no other source of income. So, yes. I am distressed about this situation and appreciate Sen. Booker standing and speaking up about this.

Economists don’t agree on much but you’ll find broad agreement that tariffs will make us poorer and less competitive in the short and the long run.

Classes start on Monday and it’s more than just police tactics and traffic laws at the new NW WA regional training academy! What struck me during the ribbon cuting was how much police need empathy and understanding to keep EVERYONE in our community safe. 1/2

Tomorrow, March 22 is the 11-year remembrance of the Oso slide. We hope you'll join us in pausing to remember the 43 lives lost that day. If you haven't visited the memorial on SR 530 it is a beautiful tribute to the lost, the survivors, the response & the community. #OsoStrong

Good to meet with @housedemocrats.wa.gov & WA Senate Democrats in Olympia today. Trump & Elon's illegal power grab must be met with fierce resistance at every level of government. Democrats must show that we are the party that will build a stronger economy and protect your fundamental rights.

Just wrapped up the first week of the fourth year of @cascadiadaily.com's print edition. (Yup. As of today's paper, it's Volume IV Issue II.) Hard to believe how fast those first three years went by. (And, for anyone who had to read me for much of it, how slowly.)
