How Nathan Hochman Applied Double Standards to the Menendez Brothers

On June 27, 2025, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office , led by Nathan Hochman , filed a forceful reply brief in the Menendez resentencing matter — a reply that sent ripples through legal and public circles precisely because it explicitly urged the court to weigh honesty, insight, and acceptance of responsibility as determinative factors in sentencing and risk assessment. But that very standard — a standard of accountability and truth — appears to vanish like mist the moment prosecutorial interests turn inward. In a press release bearing Hochman’s official imprimatur, the DA’s office did not mince words: “The Court must consider such lack of full insight and lack of acceptance of responsibility for their murderous actions in deciding whether the Menendez brothers pose an unreasonable risk of danger to the community.” The office continued, affirmatively stating that their motion position was based on “the current state of the record and the Menendez brothers’ current and ...

In an era where music moves at algorithm speed and attention spans are shorter than ever, King Leez stands out by doing what most artists won’t: adapting without compromising his craft. The Tacoma -born lyricist has steadily carved out a reputation for razor-sharp bars, consistency, and an instinctive understanding of how the underground breathes—both online and in real life.

In this exclusive interview, King Leez breaks down his evolution, his approach to production, the blurred lines between Seattle and Tacoma soundscapes, and the mindset that keeps him locked in while the culture shifts around him.

Trump Set to End Program That Let 530K Migrants into U.S.

Ending the program may upend the lives of migrants who settled across the country — from Florida to California — and embedded themselves into U.S. communities. A migrant family from Venezuela walks to a Border Patrol transport vehicle in June 2021 after they and other migrants crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and turned themselves in. (Eric Gay/AP) By Anumita Kaur and Lauren Kaori Gurley Washington Post The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Trump administration to terminate, for now, a Biden-era program that allowed about 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to live and work in the United States while their immigration cases proceed. The Trump administration has maintained that the migrants pose a public safety threat, and in a statement celebrating Friday’s high court decision, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said ending the programs would be “a return to America First.” But immigration advocates say the decision upends the lives o...

Sudan Accuses Ethiopia of Drone Strikes Across Border

By Al Mayadeen English 3 Mar 2026 Sudan's government has accused Ethiopia of allowing drone strikes to be launched from its territory amid growing regional involvement in Sudan's civil war. Sudan's government has accused Ethiopia of enabling drone strikes against its territory, marking the first formal allegation of direct interference by Addis Ababa in the country’s nearly three-year war. In a statement released Monday, Sudan’s foreign ministry said aerial attacks carried out in February and March originated “from inside Ethiopian territory,” describing the incidents as “clear aggression.” The ministry warned Ethiopian authorities of “the consequences of these hostile acts,” though it did not specify who conducted the strikes, how many occurred, or which locations were targeted. Khartoum added that it had been monitoring the incursions over several weeks and characterized them as a “flagrant violation of Sudan’s sovereignty” and “a clear act of aggression against the...

Didier Malherbe in 1990's Fetish CD [plus 1979 Bloom, 1981 Melodic Destiny, 1986 Faton Bloom, 1989 Saxo Folies]

  I thought for sure I posted him before, but only in connection with Faton Cahen, here , and Patrice Meyer . Of course he's most known for the work he did with Gong . From the requested album Fetish, released 1990, the last 2 songs feature synth player Rykiel, discogged here .  These are really lovely, consider Hors D'oeuvres: I'm assuming everyone is already familiar with the great Bloom album and Faton Bloom, which is a kind of follow up from 1986 with Cahen.  From that one, the lovely but oddly named Vulvox: From the cassette only release with guitarist Yan Emeric, A Breughel really blew me away in its compositional glory, I am not sure which of his paintings the progressive complexity could be alluding to: Otherwise this release is a bit of mixed bag. Back to the Japanese stuff straightaway after. source https://progressreview.blogspot.com/2026/03/didier-malherbe-in-1990s-fetish-cd-plus.html

Terminal 5 opens expanded on-dock truck zone, so backups are ‘now over,’ port commissioner promises

https://westseattleblog-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2026/02/IMG_5364.jpg We were on the dock at Terminal 5 in northeast West Seattle this morning for those brief streamed speeches that in essence declared T-5’s half-billion-dollar modernization project is finally pretty much complete ( as summarized here ). No ribbon-cutting, no applauding crowd. Just a simple media invite – with us and a TV photojournalist showing up – and a short event on the windswept dock. It was a two-part announcement – one, that they’ve expanded the amount of plugs for refrigerated containers, and will now be able to accommodate more than 1,500. That means an expanded capacity for the food that Washington exports so much of – like apples. One speaker, a sales rep, talked about visiting a remote Mexican town where his family has roots, and discovering a Washington Red Delicious apple in a tiny store – there thanks to the sort of shipments T-5 can handle. But the really big news was what’s in our photo abo...
