For better or worse, the Federal government is imposing increasing cultural

influence over local politics in urban centers. We brought in Seattle creative

Chappin Eze to share his thoughts about society, politics, and the attention

economy in the age of Trump.

Chappin is a writer and creative director based in Seattle. A graduate with a Masters in

Legal and Ethical Studies, he currently runs Seattle Film Club - a grassroots

collective uplifting film photography and local artists through events, zines,

and public art. Chappin’s work explores culture, city politics, and the

messiness of community—mostly in and around Seattle. He writes essays and

cultural commentary on Substack, and is active on social media, where he

documents city life, style, and the hidden stories of Seattle.

Our finale coverage of the Rust shooting! We examine the Brady violations and prosecutorial misconduct that allowed Alec Baldwin to walk away from Halyna's death without spending a day in prison.

While tragic in circumstance, this is a prime example of the justice system working as intended. Prosecutors should not be able to conceal favorable evidence from defense counsel if any of us value our essential freedoms.

Let us know what you think of the Part 1 / 2 format.

Today we unpack the infamous accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Alec Baldwin's indie film: Rust. Tune in to hear how confusing chains of command, cost cutting, nonunion film crews, and an inexperienced nepo baby weapons armorer created the perfect storm of confusion and danger that culminated in one of modern film's greatest tragedies. More importantly, learn about the consequences and legal miasma Alec Baldwin and prop assistant Hannah Gutierrez Reed faced in the aftermath.

This is our first episode in two parts! Next week, we will examine the Brady violations and prosecutorial misconduct that allowed Alec Baldwin to walk away from Halyna's death without spending a day in prison.

This week, Sam and John go over two major lawsuits to take a break from the 24/hour news doom cycle. Disney is suing conglomerate Alphabet (YouTube) in state court for allegedly poaching a top media strategy executive. For our second story, HR platform Workday is facing a nascent class action of individuals that claim the platform's AI discriminated against them by improperly ranking them lower than other applicants. Hiring, AI agency, and tortious interference! Oh my!

This week, we are reviewing the presumption of regularity - the legal theory that inclines the Judicial branch to believe the government is generally acting in good faith. BUT, we are trying something different this week: Lindsey will be taking point and walking John through the details.

Join us, as we remind ourselves that (usually), the judicial and executive are really on the same side.
