Calls are mounting among Democrats and progressives for a prospective Biden administration to make “canceling” student debt a top priority. The loudest demands have come from progressive legislators such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar. Meanwhile, prominent senators such as Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer are imploring Biden to “cancel” $50,000 in student debt via executive order.

As the first COVID-19 vaccines move toward federal approval, California and other states are racing to finalize plans for who will get the first doses and how they will be distributed — critical decisions that have taken on new urgency as drugmakers prepare to ship vaccines in just a few weeks. State and federal health officials have largely agreed that front-line healthcare workers who have direct contact with COVID-19 patients should be vaccinated first, a vital step as infections soar this fall, filling hospitals across the country. There is also broad consensus that nursing home residents and patients at other long-term care facilities should be targeted in the initial immunization push. The virus has proved to be particularly deadly in these populations.

Drew Keane: Praying ad orientem, facing the east, is a wide-spread, ancient, pre-Christian custom: because the east is the direction of the rising sun, it naturally inspires and expresses hope for the future.[1] For ancient Christians, orientation (in the original sense, “towards the Orient”) also expressed expectation for the second advent of Christ, “the dayspring from on high.” In this arrangement, the priest and people face the same direction when praying.

Dear Deep Blue Seattle, We noticed your namesake newspaper has an “assistant managing editor for diversity, inclusion and staff development.” This kind of super-woke title makes us chuckle in the reddest county in Washington. At Lincoln County’s three weekly papers, managing “inclusion” means making sure you don’t leave anyone out when publishing the turkey raffle winners. But we know that’s not what you meant. Naomi Ishizaka, the one with the woke title, addressed her recent Seattle Times editorial to the “blue, upper left corner of the U.S.” and asks, “What are we going to do about the other half of the country that does not see the world the way we do?” Before flying over Eastern Washington to tackle the rest of the country, you can practice on us. Lincoln and King are political polar opposites. Whereas 73% of voters in Lincoln County supported President Trump’s re-election; 75% of King County voters went for Biden-Harris. Look at the map by county and Washington is a red state, outside of the crescent touching Puget Sound. Whitman, Walla Walla and Clark counties are light blue anomalies influenced by university towns and refugees from Portlandia.
