The pandemic continues: Experts have their eye on an omicron subvariant known as BA.2, which appears to be even more transmissible than the original strain. This strain is wreaking havoc in Asia and Europe. The total number of cases in Hong Kong has just exceeded one million. According to the AP, almost 97% of these cases come from the current epidemic. In Germany, a nation of 83 million people, more than 250,000 new cases emerged on Friday with 249 deaths.

Alright, alright, a little less reform please: Yesterday, Governor Jay Inslee officially signed House Bill 2037, which cancels part of the police reform lawmakers passed last year after many Democrats decided they were going too far. The bill essentially allows for a little more use of force to prevent people from fleeing remands for investigation.

The “nazification” of Ukraine: President Vladimir Putin invoked the Nazis to justify his invasion of Ukraine. Nazi scholars published an open letter calling Putin’s rhetoric “factually flawed, morally repugnant and deeply offensive”. The scholars acknowledged far-right groups in Ukraine, but said this did not justify the invasion of Russia or the “gross misrepresentation of Ukraine”. the New York Times discuss.

If anyone could do it, it would be him: Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a video on social media telling Putin to stop killing Ukrainians and sacrificing Russian soldiers. Schwarzenegger’s words are not like other “stop the war #peace” messages. The actor is super popular with Russia and its president. Putin’s twitter only follows 22 accounts, including Schwarzenegger.

More protections for abortion: Governor Jay Inslee signed a bill that prohibits legal action against people seeking abortions and those who help them.

Speaking of Idaho: Girl, what?

Biden, help progressives help you. With what is certain to be a bloody midterm election looming, the Congressional Progressive Caucus has given President Joe Biden a list of 55 executive actions he might believe that would give the impression that the Democrats have done something with their control of the legislative and executive powers. These actions include solving the “family problem” in the Affordable Care Act, declaring a national climate emergency, and canceling student loan debt.

My apologies for the Notes app: Yesterday I live-tweeted my notes during one of my scariest attempts yet: the Downtown Seattle Association’s State of Downtown event. I thank God for the free cider that got me through this ordeal. I am kidding. It was good.

But anyway, in one of my tweets, I paid a well-deserved compliment to KCRHA CEO, Marc Dones, when he said homeless people are more often the victims than the perpetrators of crime. I added that I was the only one taking shots at that exact moment (the crowd loved Dones so there was a lot of snapping/clapping/laughing throughout the interview). I have since been informed that others have also reacted to this comment. I believe all snappers, so I would like to formally apologize for my mistake, and once again reiterate the most important point of this tweet: homeless people are more often the victims than the perpetrators of crime. Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. With love, Hannah.
