Really grateful that Amos Barshad from Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) picked up our reporting on propagandists use of Meta glasses, and took the time to interview us. "The Stadium District cameras will be activated during the FIFA World Cup tournament," Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said, walking back another promise. Happy Pride Month! We've slowed down coverage this week to decompress, but we've got an abundance of articles on our website, ThroughtheStatic.org (link in bio), so go and give them a read! This past sunny Sunday, dozens of concerned community members gathered at Gas Works Park to protest weapons manufacturer, Anduril Industries, which is building military drones in the Lake Washington Ship Canal. With some on land and others on about 11 kayaks, demonstrators denounced the genocide in Palestine and the war in Iran, which they said Anduril is complicit in. On land and water, Seattle activists are currently protesting weapons manufacturer, Anduril, which is building drones in the ship canal. Spotted on The Ave (University Way NE) in Seattle's U-District
