We paid @UPS to ship a package containing irreplaceable art by my deceased father-in-law to our home from Philadelphia. These were pieces of art my son and wife chose from among the work he created. UPS switched the label and sent our package to someone else, somewhere.

3 months later, after calls, letters, complaints, and claims, they have done nothing to recover it. Maybe twitter can help us find our package? My family is heartbroken. Here's a photo of one of the pieces. (And yes, we are suing @UPS). Pls share widely.

Absolutely. The work that @CMTammyMorales has done to build a city for all of us is outstanding. The work is not done. But she is doing it.

I have combed through almost every policy the city has enacted to try to stem displacement since 1994 for my diss research, and this IMO is the most effective thing the city has put forth.

I'm not getting a little teary-eyed, YOU'RE getting a little teary-eyed! But I mean, just look at that determined little salmon! 🥹

We've got fish swimming freely!
We're wrapping up a fish barrier removal project on US 101 at Leland Creek north of Quilcene in the next few weeks. We're already seeing salmon like this little one swimming through the project site.

The messaging discipline is absolutely incredible. Nothing distracts him from the key points: rising profits, stagnating wages, and escalating class conflict

In 1938, Lloyd Gaines filed a lawsuit after being denied admission to the University of Missouri Law School in 1935 because he was black.
The Court ruled in his favor & required Missouri to admit him or set up a black law school.
He disappeared 3 months later never to be found.
—Lloyd Lionel Gaines was born to the Gaines family in northern Mississippi in 1911. One of eleven children, seven of whom survived illness and accident, he moved with his widowed mother and siblings to St. Louis after the premature death of their father. They found a better, although not easy, life for themselves in Missouri. Gaines excelled in his studies graduating as valedictorian in 1931 from Vashon High School. At Lincoln University in Jefferson City, he graduated with honors and was President of the senior class, while participating in many extra-curricular activities and working to pay for his schooling.
Despite his outstanding scholastic record, the University of Missouri School of Law denied Gaines admittance in 1936 solely on the grounds that Missouri's Constitution called for "separate education of the races." By state law, Missouri would have been required to pay for Gaines to attend the Universities in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, but Gaines was determined to fight for the right to attend law school in his own state university. He sought legal assistance from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which had been working systematically to overturn the ignominious precedent of "separate but equal" established in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Together, they challenged the University of Missouri's admissions policies. In 1938, Gaines won his case before the United States Supreme Court in State of Missouri ex rel Gaines v. Canada, paving the way for a series of cases that would lead to Brown v. Board of Education's outlawing segregation in public education. In March 1939, only three months after his Supreme Court victory, Lloyd Gaines was last seen in Chicago. He disappeared at age 28 with his promise of attending law school in Missouri unfilfilled. Lloyd Gaines was never to be seen or heard from again.
