In 2019, the remote plains of Harney County, Oregon made national news. Scattered amongst groves of ponderosa pine were a handful of mutilated cattle. The cows had an almost surgical removal of their tongues and other organs. But the most astounding thing is that the scenes where these cattle were found were pristine. No tracks. And not one drop of blood – the carcasses were drained dry. That detail became the inspiration for a documentary by co-directors Jackson Devereux and Lachlan Hinton,

Prosecutors claim the abuse started while the two were alone on a ride-along in his police SUV while she was participating in Explorers, a national youth mentorship program, with the Burien Police Department.

This is a story about the internet and our country’s political polarization.It’s also a story about our thirst for answers, and the race to score ideological points following a tragedy.

That’s what happened to one Seattleite a few days ago. She’s a paralegal, and a trans woman – and

Since May 8, 1792, European colonists have called the large volcano just off the coast of Puget Sound "Mount Rainier."
