Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.

The rundown:

Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, English, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome.
Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]
No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.
Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.
Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]

'The worst that I've seen it.' Cedar River floods homes, businesses in southeast King County

Flooding from the Cedar River is forcing people from their homes in parts of southeast King County.

Gina Simmonds fled her Maple Valley home near the river yesterday. Today, her son-in-law waded through the floodwaters engulfing her house to rescue family photographs.

“I put them up high, but I never expected the water in the house to get so high," Simmonds said. "So, then I was afraid the furniture they were on would start floating, and we'd lose them, too."

He's just the newest mascot for a team who've been actively dismantling democracy since the New Deal worked so well in the 40's. It's almost like everyone saw civic responsibility, community and social programs make their lives better, looked to communist revolutions happening in other parts of the world, were inspired to ask for more equitability, and the government went and built an entire program for erasing all those good vibes as well as anyone who held onto them.
