( pass by Westlake station), thru downtown (a little over 1 mile), route not released for safety reasons. Seattle’s resistance is growing to meet this historic moment of rising authoritarianism. In April, 25,000 rallied to say #HandsOff. In June 70,000 marched, joining 5 million+ nationwide.

Now, as Trump orchestrates a government shutdown to strip our healthcare, jobs, and protections—and deploys troops in our streets to crush dissent—Seattle rises again.

Patrick Michaud. How many people protested in Seattle today? The Seattle Times says more than 70,000. We know that the main protest extended about two miles, packed with people. This does not include the protesters in other parts of the city and along Aurora Avenue North. Sgt.

Michaud says his best guess is tens of thousands of people showed up. Our reporter has seen only six police officers today -- all part of a team that wears polo shirts and talks with protesters, rather than be dressed in combat gear. These cops are part of POET -- that stands for Police Outreach Engagement Team. They are "trained to speak with organizers and the community before protests, aiming for facilitation, not confrontation," according to the police department's blotter blog. SEATTLE — Another round of "No Kings" protests took place Saturday with gatherings across Washington and nationwide. The coalition that organized the Seattle Hands Off and Seattle No Kings march back in June organized a rally and march on Saturday at Seattle Center.

The group marched peacefully through downtown Seattle from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. just as organizers planned. 2:50 p.m. Seattle police report the protest is a mile long. 11 a.m.

People begin to arrive at Seattle Center to gather for the rally. Seattle police advise that there will be traffic throughout the city. With 2,600 "No Kings" rallies planned nationwide on Saturday, security will be incredibly tight across the country. Brian Higgins, a security expert spoke with LiveNOW's Josh Breslow about the preparations. Millions of people took to the streets Saturday across the country for the "No Kings" protest marches.

pic.twitter.com/UXDFxQPDGY This story used to deeply confuse me. A woman comes to Jesus begging Him to heal her daughter. She believes. She persists. And instead of immediate compassion, Jesus says something shocking: “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” For years, I softened this passage in my head—maybe it...

I’ve lived in the same spot for 30 years, but lately, my Social Security check is gone before the month ends. I was literally eating toast for dinner to save money. Then a friend at the senior center showed me Food Radar. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. The map showed five different spots within 2 miles of my apartment giving away food today. I drove to the closest pin—a local church pantry.

Kentucky’s junior U.S. Senator Rand Paul, R-Bowling Green, has introduced the Health Marketplace and Savings Accounts for All Act, to make all Americans eligible for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). If you open a classic KJV Bible to Psalm 92:10 or Job 39:9, you will see the word "Unicorn." Is the Bible a book of fairy tales? Did mythical creatures actually exist in ancient Israel?
