National Archives at Seattle (Box 276) Here is what the next couple of years is going to be like: A constant cleaning-up process to pick up what pieces remain of the country after four years of disastrous Republican rule. Like a teenager trying desperately to straighten up the house after a particularly raucous house party, we’ve got our work cut out for us. Sponsored The good news is that among Donald Trump’s very few talents, one stands out above all the rest: Losing. For example, his administration launched an effort to sell Seattle’s archive building, destroying countless hours of work to preserve the history of immigrant and indigenous communities by scattering archive materials across the country. Trump's lackeys nearly got away with it, but Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed suit, and last week a judge granted an injunction halting the sale.
